Research
The experiments conducted at HFML-FELIX contribute to various fields of research. In the field of medicine, infrared lasers are used to identify new biomarkers for the detection of rare metabolic diseases. With strong magnetic fields the delivery of drugs in the body and the formation of lab grown organ tissue are being studied.
Research is also being conducted within the sustainability transition. This includes more efficient molecules or structures for chemical processes, new materials for the electronics of the future, or public transport that hovers above the road thanks to magnetic fields.
Another important field to which HFML-FELIX research contributes is are astrophysics and astrochemistry. Here, research focuses on topics such as the formation of stars and planets, which molecules can be found in space and how to determine their ‘fingerprint’, and whether these molecules can provide clues to finding other forms of life.
Collaborating partners
Since 2025, HFML-FELIX has been part of a large national consortium comprising the Dutch Research Council (NWO), eight Dutch universities – Radboud University, Utrecht University, Delft University of Technology, Maastricht University, the University of Twente, the University of Amsterdam, Leiden University and the University of Groningen – and Radboudumc.
