Astrophysical plasma modeling of the hot Universe: Advances and challenges in high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy
Hot astrophysical plasma is ubiquitous in the Universe, from comets in our Solar system to the largest scale structures -- the cosmic web filaments. These hot plasmas, with the temperature of a few millions of degrees, are often observed in the X-ray wavelength range.

Assembling anisotropic colloidal building blocks
This PhD-thesis presents a study on micron-sized particles, so-called colloids. By controlling the chemical and physical properties of these particles, such as the interparticle interaction and the particles’ shape, colloids can act as building blocks that self-assembly into larger structures.

Withstanding the cold: energy feedback in simulations of galaxies that include a cold interstellar medium
Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…

“This Path Is Full of Thorns”: Narrative, Subjunctivity, and HIV in Indonesia
In this article, Samuels focuses on the active fostering of subjunctivity in processes of narrative worldmaking. Drawing extensively from the narrative of an HIV‐positive woman in Indonesia, she shows that by subjunctively leaving open multiple narrative trajectories and future possibilities, individuals…

Light Weighed: On the Statistics and Systematics of Weak Gravitational Lensing
In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

Black lives matter: ‘Racisme bestaat in allerlei vormen, maar is een wereldwijd probleem'
Het begon met betogingen vanwege de dood van George Floyd door politiegeweld in Minneapolis, maar de Black Lives Matter-protesten verspreiden zich snel over heel Amerika. Dagelijks gaan door heel het land duizenden mensen de straat op. We vroegen Amerika-deskundige Sara Polak hoe dat komt. ‘Na Ferguson…

Hoe uitzaaiende tumoren hun omgeving naar hun hand zetten
Tumoren gedragen zich als mini-orgaantjes, manipuleren hun omgeving en gebruiken lichaamseigen processen om te overleven en uit te zaaien. Door onderzoek van Erik Danen en zijn collega’s komen we steeds meer te weten over de complexe aard van tumorcellen. In het NRC vertellen de wetenschappers over…

Spatial populations with seed-bank
In populations with a seed-bank, individuals can temporarily become dormant and refrain from reproduction until they can become active again. The repository of all dormant individuals in the population is called the seed-bank. Seed-banks are observed in many taxa, including plants, bacteria and other…

Galaxy alignments from multiple angles
Galaxies form and live inside dark matter haloes. As a consequence, they are exposed to the tidal fields generated by the surrounding matter distribution: this imprints a preferential direction to the galaxy shapes, which leads to a coherent alignment on physically close galaxies, called intrinsic a…
