Martin van Hecke published an article in Nature, together with physicists from AMOLF and UvA. They have developed a metamaterial that folds itself up, even in multiple steps. Van Hecke appeared in the following media.

In the latest episode of DWDD University on 'Light', Prof. Robbert Dijkgraaf used a number of experiments from the Leiden Physics Practicum Lab. He showed why the sky is blue, that light is a wave phenomenon, how magnetism and electricity are connected and that white light consists of all colors of…

BNR Radio has broadcast an item on the physics formulas that are painted on walls across the Leiden historic city center. The wall formulas are initiated by Sense Jan van der Molen and Ivo van Vulpen.

Schrödinger's cat is famously dead and alive, hidden in its closed box. As soon as one opens the box up to peek inside, the cat suddenly turns dead or alive. This is the 'measurement problem', that has stumped physicists for almost a century now. PhD student Tom van der Reep dared to look for a way…
