Out today from the Vandenberg and Dedecker labs! PSF splitting with the ‘Circulator’, which encodes the fluorophore emission band into the PSF, improves the information content of fluorescence microscopy and enables improved super-resolution imaging and single-particle tracking.

Pretty much every week we generate this logo of X through dielectrophoretic trapping of colloidal partilces in quadrupole devices. Each time one step ahead in finding antagonistic partilces.

Strengthen the team bonds during a game of padel in the evening!

Despite the red alert of heavy rainfall in Barcelona, we kicked off our first annual progress meeting at IQS. Partners had more to show and discuss than the time could permit. We received a very encouraging feedback from the Industrial advisory board to lift the spirit.

Very cool! Intriguing world of nanoparticles #colloid,#directionalmotion,#particletracking

It has been a nice reunion of Univ of Hyderabad crew during perovskite India conference HyPe2024

Simplicity at its best. Brilliant representation of science. Thanks for giving me a scoop.

Scientists say "good science takes time"—it took us almost 4 years, in fact! Introducing CLIM: A gateway to explore the inner workings of solar cells & delve into local photophysics. Hofkens Lab Boris Louis Vaynzof lab SMSGroupLund Advanced Portfolio News #Innovations onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

🔬Transforming local intensity fluctuations in solar cells into information with CLIM🔬 Borrowing principles of AI and super-resolution optical microscopy, 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐌 provide structural and functional information in photo-active materials. Read more here: doi.org/10.1002/adma.2…

Indeed! It has been an excellent learning experience! More than 200 GB of data to analyse. Stay tuned for some cool results.

🔬🚧Building yet another microscope at Hofkens lab. In the age of commercial microscopes, we scavenge our old setups and customize our own. Fastcomet_pathfinder Exciting time ahead! #Microscopybuilding #opticaltrapping #colloidalmemory #scienceInnovation #risefromtheashes

Stop and watch how wrinkles grow on gold nanorods. Another great collaboration of Sara Bals_EMAT CIC biomaGUNE Ikerbasque now published in Nano Letters pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Looking for a high-throughput characterization tool for your thin films (perovskite, polymer)? We developed a luminescence-based method! A demonstration can be found here. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/cb… Hofkens Lab Roeffaers Lab Debroye Group #Perovskite #ThinFilms #Materials #imaging

It has been a very engaging #S25MRS so far. Delivered two talks on - inoperando microscale solar cell imaging. Caught up with old friends, made many new! Represented Hofkens Lab #perovskite #microscopy #MRS

Let us know your thoughts and stay tuned for more updates on Masters of Imaging in Energy Science. #nanoscale #functionalimaging #spectroscopy #microscopy #KULeuven

Its always a pleasure hosting Ben Feringa. This time for 4for2. Ending with an amazing in-house BBQ and Belgian beer.

From 💩 to 🔬 brilliance – classic Prof. Hofkens! Incredible time at #ICP2025. Engaging talks, deep photochemistry, the best poster Debroye Group, and plenty of laughs. Science at its most creative and collaborative! #Photochemistry #Photophysics #HofkensLab #ScienceWithImpact
