Sobhan Haghparast joined ImPhys per May 1st. He will work on "Ultra-resolution with visible light" under supervision of Bernd Rieger.

Tom Haanstra recently started working as a technician at ImPhys. His focus will be on the support of the first year physics lab course.

Freek Pols published the article: What's inside the pink box? A nature of science activity for teachers and students as part of the dissemination of the Erasmus+ project SPOON. The project aims at professionalizing and supporting science teachers. The article highlights an important but underutilized part of science education: Nature of science. As elaborated in the article, Nature of Science can be taught with simple activities and materials.

Myrthe will be working on Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM), supervised by David Maresca and Baptiste Heiles. As a Systems & Control student, she hopes to apply her knowledge on estimation, filtering and optimization to improve the tracking of microbubbles in ULM.

Microscopy is inextricably linked to Delft thanks to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who was the first to discover cells and microbiological structures with his self-built microscopes in the 17th century. A tradition microscope builder Delmic has been continuing since 2010 with innovative microscope technology. TU Delft Campus interviewed Jacob Hoogenboom of TU Delft who was involved in this innovative company early on and still works closely together with the company.

Nanda Bloom has just started her Master End Project within the Jena-TUD graduate school. The project is aimed at investigating the applicability of stochastic resonators for micro-optical spectrometer arrays.

Amber Heijdra is currently doing the master Biomedical Engineering at TU Delft. For her master thesis she will focus on predicting sarcomere mutations using radiomics at the Biomedical Imaging Group Rotterdam.

Freek Pols published an article: The sound of music: determining Young's modulus using a guitar string in the journal Physics Education, a journal meant for physics teachers at various educational levels.

On Friday 26th of March, 14 pre-University students finished the pre-University on Campus Track. Freek Pols designed and taught one of the tracks. The students learned about data-analysis and error propagation, devised and conducted an experiment. They concluded the track with a presentation on their results.

Researchers at TU Delft have expanded upon a clever trick that increases the speed of electron microscope imaging by a factor of twenty. A simple adjustment is all that is needed: applying a voltage to the specimen holder. Through this simple intervention, a specimen that the electron microscope would normally take a week to image can now be inspected in a single night or one working day.
