Best Student Presentation Award for Sophie van Vreeswijk
PhD student Sophie van Vreeswijk received the Best Student Presentation Award at the virtual 2020 Oak Ridge National Laboratory CNMS User Meeting. She used atom probe tomography to image in 3-D the chemical composition of zeolites. Congratulations to the award!
Breaking Molecular Traffic Jams with Finned Nanoporous Materials
New Porous Catalyst with Ultra-small Fins Facilitates Molecular Transport Thousands of chemical processes used by the energy industry and for other applications rely on the high speed of catalytic reactions, but molecules frequently are hindered by molecular traffic jams that slow them down. Now an entirely new class of porous catalysts has been invented, using

“It took me an eternity to understand that I had to move on”
The PhD defense of Charlotte Vogt would take place on 18 March 2020. She had looked forward to that day for over a decade. After four years of hard work this would be the big day. The day she would be awarded her doctorate degree. But with 1 day to spare before her defense, everything
Metal-Organic Frameworks: Defects, Spectroscopy and Catalysis
PhD defense of Miguel Rivera Torrente Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials consist of metal ions or clusters (usually transition metal ions in alkaline earth ions) bound to multidentate organic ligands that regularly create 3-D networks with micro (or meso) porous cavities. This means that they are often crystalline, although very recently disordered in amorphous MOF materials
Bert Weckhuysen has been awarded a LIFT project
A total of fourteen projects will start in 2020 with research that will impact the business community. The Launchpad for Innovative Future Technology (LIFT) funding instrument of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) is designed to stimulate public-private partnership between at least one company and one knowledge institution. A total of approximately 4 million euros has been made available

The best Poster Prize to Luke Parker at the 21st NCCC
Postdoc Luke Parker received the best Poster Prize during the 21th Netherlands Catalysis & Chemistry Conference (NCCC) in Noordwijkerhout. He developed an environment-sensitive probe to visualize diffusion into single zeolite particles, and found a Si/Al ratio dependency.
