For technical reasons we are not able to connect with researchers from our faculty on LinkedIn using the company page. So if you have a post there that you believe may be interesting to spread on the faculty page, please mention us!

Onderzoekers van @IBED_UvA hebben gemeten op welke afstand van boerderijen stikstof neerslaat. Zo'n 10% slaat neer binnen een sttraal van 100 meter; de rest komt in de 'stikstofdeken'. Dit is in lijn met eerder onderzoek en de modellen van het RIVM. https://t.co/UqBz9iQot2

Rothenberg and his colleague Albert Alberts were actually on a quest to develop a new biofuel when they stumbled upon a 'sticky mess' that turned out to be a 100% biobased plastic. In 2021 the first furniture created with their material saw the light: https://t.co/4X8JjLmiXk
