NANOSCIENCE

Associate Professor Victoria Birkedal (Department of Chemistry & iNANO) and Professor Asger Hobolth (Department of Mathematics), both from Aarhus University have received a VILLUM Synergy grant. The project unites mathematicians and biophysical chemists to turn noisy single-molecule videos into clear maps of biomolecular dynamics.

Congratulations to Ebbe Sloth Andersen, who has been appointed Professor of Experimental Bionanoscience at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO), Faculty of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University. The appointment is effective 1 October 2025. An inaugural lecture will be held on 14 November 2025, and registration is open.

Researchers from Aarhus University have developed a new light-responsive hybrid material which, when embedded in window glass, automatically adapts to the intensity of sunlight and regulates heat radiation entering buildings. The technology works without electricity or electronics and has the potential to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions…
