A ULB researcher at the heart of the IceCube Upgrade in Antarctica. Felix Schlüter contributed to the deployment of a strategic extension to the observatory. A major milestone for neutrino physics and future generations of the detector.

In his doctoral research Electronic Structure and Reactivity at High Pressure using Hydrostatic Pressure Models , VUB researcher Jochen Eeckhoudt, under the supervision of Frank De Proft Mercedes Alonso, investigated how molecules behave when exposed to extremely high pressures, such as those found at the bottom of the ocean or deep inside planetary interiors.

( - ) Using super-small crystals, Ghent researchers developed a photodetector that responds within 4 nanoseconds.

What if slightly heating membranes allowed us to describe the movement of their molecules? - Scientists from the EST Laboratory, Experimental Thermal Physics and Soft Matter, publish in the journal Small.

( - ) With four new ERC Consolidator Grant winners in 2025, Ghent University has reached an impressive milestone.

Curiosity about how the world works is what led Joana Ferreira to physics. She pursued her studies at the University of Luxembourg, where she completed a PhD in physics , focusing on new materials for solar cells.
