Sander Woutersen receives 'Physics Projectruimte' grant

23 December 2018

HIMS professor Sander Woutersen has received funding for his research into supercooled water together with professor Daniel Bonn of the UvA Institute of Physics. Their proposal was awarded a grant from the 'Physics Projectruimte' by the board of NWO Domain Science (ENW).

According to many theorists, the strange properties of water are the result of the existence of two liquid forms of deeply supercooled water, but so far this controversial idea has not been proven directly. The project proposed by Woutersen and Bonn will try to experimentally observe the two liquid forms, and discover how they differ from each other.

Physics Projectruimte

The Physics Projectruimte is one of the funding instruments that NWO has for supporting physics research. Until 1 May 2018, researchers could continuously submit proposals to the Physics Projectruimte. The funding instrument has now been closed.
