MECS - Materials for energy conversion and storage
Based in ChemE, MECS is a large research group involved in several research lines covering energy harvesting, storage and management. We have a division that is typically oriented towards material science and solid state physics, focusing on ionic conductivity and optoelectronic properties of oxyhydride thin films.

The magnetic fields generated by spins and currents provide a unique window into condensed-matter, which enables us to study spin waves in thin films, exotic magnetism in 2D materials, transport in quantum devices, and more..
Fundamental Aspects of Materials and Energy (FAME)
Our group performs research on functional and structural materials aimed at practical applications. The focus is on development of novel magnetocaloric materials. For this we employ neutrons, positrons, X-rays, NMR, muons, Mossbauer spectroscopy and first principles modeling, at both local and international facilities.

With sound waves we explore the subsurface for all kinds of geo-applications (exploration, CO2 storage, geothermal activities). The reflection response is inverted into a structural model. In a spin-off project, we apply similar techniques on a cm-scale for determining the local thickness of a blast furnace. An important component is the use of Machine Learning to enhance signal processing and imaging methodologies.

Our research is highly interdisciplinary and projects can be focused on instrument development, nanofabrication, artificial intelligence and image processing, or biological imaging.
MInT - Hoogenboom Lab
We invent and develop novel instrumentation and methods for microscopy, for instance high-resolution 'Google Maps' for biology, ultrafast microscopy using laser and electron pulses, tracking and ion milling a specific protein out of cell for atomic-resolution microscopy. We also study fundamental electron-matter interaction to reduce damage and improve signal. We are a multi-disciplinary group and have many collaborations with industry.
Neutron & Positron Methods for Materials
The section Neutron and Positron Methods in Materials (NPM2) focuses on the innovative and complementary use of neutrons and positrons in the broad area of materials physics, with a focus on health and energy. Neutron scattering accesses the microscopic and mesoscopic length and time scales whereas positron annihilation probes electronic structures, local structural inhomogeneities and defects. The development of new experimental methods for neutrons and positrons is one of the traditional fields of excellence of our group. The first reactor based positron source worldwide was realized in Delft. The section has a long-standing experience in Larmor labeling, polarized neutrons and neutron reflectometry which led to the development of new techniques and concepts such as SESANS or Larmor diffraction. The section has recently developed and built the competitive neutron diffractometer PEARL and is involved in the development of the reactor-based positron lifetime facility PALS. The advanced methods and techniques involving neutrons and positrons developed and used by NPM2 are used for investigations at the forefront of materials science and over a broad range of topics, from new chiral magnetic phases and skyrmion hosting materials to self-healing alloys, food materials and emulsions. NPM2 cooperates closely with the FAME section in the area of materials and techniques both for neutrons and positrons.
Neurophotonics

Our main interest is in transport around (solid-fluid, liquid-gas, liquid-liquid, membrane-fluid and electrically charged) interfaces, which we wish to understand, control and enhance. We enjoy performing fundamental research to gain a deep understanding of the underlying phenomena, while at the same time we find it important to apply our knowledge to real-life applications. We use both theoretical and computational models, and non-intrusive experiments based on laser and X-ray techniques.

In particular we focus on the integration of 2D nanomaterials with silicon technology in order to create novel electromechanical sensors. Since materials like graphene can be suspended as atomically thin membranes, they provide ultimate flexibility. This opens up the possibility to create sensors with unprecedented sensitivity.
