Artificial Leaf Acts as a Mini Medicine Factory
Using sunlight for sustainable and cheap production of, for example, medicines. The 'mini-factory' in the form of a leaf that was presented in 2016 showed that it is possible. Now researchers have come with an improved version: their 'mini-factory' is now able to keep production at the same level, irrespective of the variation in sunlight due to cloudiness or time of the day.

Molecules Brilliantly Illuminated
Researchers want to use brilliant infrared light to study molecular disease markers in much greater detail. The team has developed a powerful femtosecond light source which emits at wavelengths between 1.6 and 10.2 micrometers. This instrument should make it possible to detect organic molecules present in extremely low concentrations in blood or aspirated air.
