Developing precision measurement techniques using atoms, molecules and lasers to explore new particle physics

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

Great to see our team and our research featured in this University of Groningen Makers series! Our experiment is located in Groningen @univgroningen, and is a @_nikhef research program with involvement of @UvA_Amsterdam and @VUamsterdam researchers.

UG Makers #6 ⚙️: Steven Hoekstra (@SHoekstra, @ScienceLinX). Hoekstra and colleagues have been developing a set-up through which they can slow molecules down in order to make very accurate measurements! 🔍

@Jordy_de_Vries Gefeliciteerd Jordy!

[Applied Physics Letters @AppliedPhysLett]

We demonstrate a new way to analyze the mass and shape of nanoparticles using optical tweezers in vacuum, paving the way for more precise measurements and sensing. @Shoekstra @univgroningen

Nikhef physicists at the University of Groningen have developed a technique to capture nanoparticles and characterize their shape and mass. This may be useful for the hunt for dark matter.

@univgroningen @MingCao10 @NWONieuws @researchumcg @ScienceLinX @wijsbegeerte Congratulations!

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

@JoostWMFrenken @univgroningen @_nikhef @VUamsterdam @UvA_Amsterdam Thanks! And you’re always welcome on the team :-)

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

We are super excited about this funding for our table-top particle physics experiment! In a collaboration of @univgroningen @_nikhef @VUamsterdam @UvA_Amsterdam, we are exploring fundamental symmetries using cold molecules. Now looking for motivated people to join the team!

@IvovanVulpen @univgroningen Ah, geraffineerd. Bijna click-bait….

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

@IvovanVulpen @univgroningen Ja, het hele team is belangrijk, goed dat het opviel 😄. Op deze foto staan ook de promovendi, die vaak het leeuwendeel van het werk doen. Onder je tweet belandde de foto van mijn collega die ook een XL PI is, vandaar hier nog even het team.

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

@Jordy_de_Vries Looking forward to our continued theory-experiment collaboration Jordy!

[University of Groningen @univgroningen]

Great news! UG researchers are involved with #interdisciplinary research projects that receive @NWO_Science XL grants, either as main or co-applicants👩‍🔬

Congratulations to those receiving the grants worth millions, and good luck with the research! 👏https://t.co/PWaXh3zxui

[University of Groningen @univgroningen]

3 FSE (@ScienceLinX) researchers have been awarded an Open Competition Science-M grant by @NWONieuws. Anastasia Borschevsky and @SHoekstra together receive an M2 grant of €700.000, Rifka Vlijm receives an M1 grant of €350.000. Congrats! 👏🎖️👉https://t.co/r8AsANhmNz

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

Very happy with the M2 grant, with Anastasia Borschevsky, that allows us to study complex molecules for fundamental physics! @univgroningen

[NWO Domain Science (Inactive) @NWO_Science]

#grants | 14 innovative projects launched through Open Competition Domain Science-M, varying from studying solar energy conversion to using AI to study the division of DNA over daughter cells after cell division. Read more about these and other projects: https://t.co/97ul7iNomI

@JeanPaulKeulen @de_ingenieur @SHoekstra:”vrij royale tafel” 😄

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

I am delighted to receive the VICI grant from @NWO_Science to push our experiments with cold molecules to the next level. This kind of research is really teamwork, so I would like to thank our entire eEDM team from @_nikhef, @VUamsterdam and @univgroningen who brought us here!

[University of Groningen @univgroningen]

Wonderful news for Jan-Willem Romeijn, @SHoekstra and Karina Caputi!

They each receive an @NWONieuws Vici grant, intended for highly experienced #researchers who are developing innovative lines of #research. A great achievement. Congratulations! 👏🥳 https://t.co/HbCRbDnEpU

[University of Groningen @univgroningen]

Prachtig nieuws voor Jan-Willem Romeijn, @SHoekstra en Karina Caputi!

Zij krijgen elk een @NWONieuws Vici-beurs, bedoeld voor zeer ervaren #onderzoekers die een vernieuwende onderzoekslijn ontwikkelen. Een knappe prestatie. Van harte gefeliciteerd! 👏🥳

A collection of ten thought-provoking, well-researched, well-explained videos, that taught me something incredible after 15 years of education and a PhD in Physics: 🧵

@afbdijkstra @IvovanVulpen @sensemolen @univmuseum @TEGENBEELD @GerbenBrandsema Ja, dat zou de realiteit van de wetenschap wel mooi weergeven. Leuk project om op grensvlak kunst en wetenschap vorm te geven!

[Steven Hoekstra @SHoekstra]

@sensemolen Ha, leuk om te horen. Er was leuke interactie met de bomvolle collegezaal!
