About
Illuminating hydrogen bonds takes place at Radboud University, Nijmegen, on 10 November 2026 at 14:30. The event covers research on hydrogen bonds.
What to expect
The event covers research on hydrogen bonds, small forces that play a central role in nature, chemistry, and new technologies.
The thesis explores how these bonds form and how protons move between molecules by studying molecules at extremely low temperatures.
The experiments use droplets of superfluid helium and infrared light to observe how individual molecules respond.
- Proton held in a ring-shaped molecule
- Phosphoric acid clusters
- New technique with two infrared lasers
- Researcher: América Y. Torres-Boy
