Alexander Khajetoorians focuses on the electronic and magnetic properties of materials at the scale of a single atom. Using the Netherlands highest resolution microscope, he aims to understand and utilise the undiscovered properties of materials for new computing paradigms.

Wilhelm Huck conducts research into how the first form of life originated. He tries to recreate and understand cells by constructing and measuring small networks of molecules, proteins and genes. In the process, he hopes to gain insight into how life is formed on a molecular scale.

Jos Oomens uses infrared spectroscopy to research the molecular structure of ions in mass spectrometers, so that he can identify molecules in complex mixtures like blood or urine. These are used for defining metabolic disease biomarkers and identifying unknown water contaminants or designer drugs.

Johan Mentink is an expert in the field of magnetism. He researches new magnetic effects so that future technologies will be able to store and process information much more quickly and economically while requiring considerably less processing capacity.

Arno Kentgens develops nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methodology for investigating the structure and dynamics of molecules and materials. NMR employs magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain this information, which contributes to the development of new solar cells and medicines.
