Knowing right from wrong is only part of the story

What does it mean when a young person seems to know the difference between right and wrong, but still repeatedly crosses the line? For professionals working with adolescents who display problematic or transgressive behaviour, such contradictions can be difficult to understand and assess. New research from the University of Amsterdam suggests that one reason may be that conscience is not a single, fixed characteristic. Instead, it is a dynamic system in which several psychological abilities need

How can algorithms allocate school places fairly?

When pupils apply for secondary school in Amsterdam, they are asked to rank their preferred schools. But what if listing their genuine preferences is not the best way to receive a place? This question is at the heart of the research by Mayesha Tasnim, PhD candidate in the Socially Intelligent Artificial Systems (SIAS) group at the Informatics Institute. Her thesis, One-Sided Matching Under Strategic Reporting: Insights from Amsterdam School Choice, examines how algorithms can allocate limited pu

Printing with ice

Physicists from the University of Amsterdam have developed a method to print three-dimensional structures in ice. Last December, the work gathered a lot of attention when the researchers 3D-printed a Christmas tree. In the scientific publication that came out this week, the researchers also show how small pillars can be printed under an angle, making it possible to print arbitrary profiles in ice that don’t need any additional support.

ERC Starting Grant for research into platform geopolitics

The expansion of digital platforms into ever more economic sectors and social domains has concentrated enormous economic and political power in a handful of US- and China-based firms such as Amazon, Google and Huawei. This new form of winner-takes-all competition has weakened regulation and political authority within states, fuelling geopolitical tensions. Valentina Carraro of the University of Amsterdam has received an ERC Starting Grant to investigate this new geopolitical reality.

When Data Becomes a Requirement for Democracy

Open government was supposed to bring citizens closer to politics. By making government information publicly available, people would be better informed about the decisions that affect their lives, while at the same time also being able to influence them. According to Guillén Torres Sepulveda, there is actually a downside to this development. In his promotion The Datafying (Civil) Society: Fostering Citizen Agency Beyond Open Government he states that as data becomes increasingly central to polit

Innovation Monitor for Healthcare 2026 identifies opportunities for healthcare innovation

Healthcare organisations mainly focus on improving existing care. More fundamental innovation, which could enable more care to be delivered with fewer staff, is developing more slowly. The sector is strong in self-organisation, leadership and collaboration, but digital transformation is lagging behind.

研究揭示中尺度涡垂向结构对能量耗散与生命周期的影响

中尺度涡旋是海洋中广泛存在的海水旋转运动，其水平尺度通常为几十至数百千米，生命周期可达数十至数百天，承载着海洋中大部分动能，在海洋水团、热盐输运以及海洋生态环境调节中发挥着重要作用。卫星观测表明，东南印度洋是全球中尺度涡活动较为活跃的区域之一，不同区域涡旋的振幅、生命周期等表层特征存在差异。目前，该区域涡旋在海表以下的三维结构、垂向结构的空间差异规律，以及不同涡旋生命周期分化的内在机制尚不明晰。

Physics-Aware AI Could Accelerate Hydrogen Storage Materials Discovery

Hydrogen could help store renewable energy and power fuel cells, but storing it remains difficult because hydrogen gas has a low density under everyday conditions. Compressing it to high pressure or cooling it into a liquid requires substantial energy and specialized equipment. Solid materials that absorb or adsorb hydrogen offer an alternative, but finding materials that store enough hydrogen, re

‘Judges’ ivory tower isn’t quite what it’s made out to be’

Judges are often accused of sitting in an ivory tower. Wrongly accused, says Nienke Doornbos, associate professor of Sociology of Law at the University of Amsterdam. She researched courtroom culture in civil cases, focusing on the role of judges. ‘It is important for the acceptance of the judiciary that people feel heard.’

Researchers propose a new strategy for machine learning-assisted "material-structure-function" collaborative design

Recently, the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made progress in research on multifunctional electromagnetic wave absorbing superstructures. The team proposed a machine learning-assisted "material-structure-function" collaborative design strategy, using fused deposition modeling 3D printing technology to integrate the polyamide 6/carbon fiber composite (PACF) absorbing unit, low-loss pure polyamide 6 (N-PA) spacer layer and laser-induced PACF (LI-PACF) functional backplane to build a superstructure with multi-level resonant gradient impedance, achieving broadband and wide-angle microwave absorption from 2 to 40 GHz, with both structural load-bearing and electrothermal de-icing capabilities.
