The development of new environmentally sound technologies is seen as a key route towards achieving sustainability.

Sociaal wetenschappelijk onderzoek leert ons om menselijk gedrag en maatschappelijke structuren te begrijpen. Deze worden bepaald door veel verschillende factoren. Dat maakt het onderzoek complex en vergroot de kans op onterechte conclusies. Het kiezen van de onderzoeksmethoden en analyses is dan ook…

Het VVI heeft als doel bij te dragen aan de sociaal-wetenschappelijke kennisvorming over de interactie tussen recht, bestuur en samenleving. Het VVI-onderzoek richt zich in het bijzonder op het ontstaan en functioneren van juridische instituties. Daarbij kijken de onderzoekers zowel naar de perspectieven…

Viral diseases constitute one of the major challenges in modern medicine. Membrane-targeting have broad-spectrum potential and could distinguish viral membranes from the host cell plasma membrane by the difference in membrane curvature.

Since its beginnings, Leiden University has been home to scholars with a broad and diverse expertise in the histories, languages, literatures and material cultures relevant to the study of Jews and Judaism from antiquity to modern times.

Quantum computing is an emerging technology, which holds the potential to simulate complex quantum systems beyond the reach of classical numerical methods.Despite recent formidable advancements in quantum hardware, constructing a quantum computer capable of performing useful calculations remains challenging.In…

Sustainable energy from wind and solar is most readily available near the sea.

Mycoheterotrophy is a particular mode of life in which plants obtain carbohydrates from their associated fungal partners, instead of by using photosynthesis.

Lysosomal acid glucosylceramidase (GBA1) is a lysosomal enzyme that degrades glucolipids with its main substrate being glucosylceramide (GlcCer). Defects in the GBA1 gene lead to glycosphingolipidosis Gaucher disease (GD), in which the hydrolysis of GlcCer is impaired and therefore, it accumulates in…
