No fewer than four Rubicon grants to TU/e people
Never before have so many TU/e researchers been awarded a Rubicon grant in the same round. Four of the seventeen proposals approved came from our university. The recipients are Valentina Mazzoli, René Lafleur, Wouter Engelen and Mani Diba. Their grants will enable them to head for Stanford University, the University of Melbourne, the Technical University of Munich and Rice University in Houston, respectively.

Innovative imaging technique clarifies molecular self-assembly
A unique collaboration between chemists and mathematicians at TU/e has led to a new imaging technique that enables the study of molecular self-assembly with an unprecedented level of detail. The researchers, led by TU/e professors Bert Meijer (Institute for Complex Molecular Systems) and Remco van der Hofstad (Department of Mathematics and Computer Science), publish their breakthrough today in the leading journal Science.

Secrets of self-assembly unraveled
TU/e researchers have managed to describe the conditions under which specific molecules can clump together and form a useful material. The model for this self-assembly may be used in the production of plastic solar cells, they state in an article that was published on the website of PNAS magazine.
