Rubicon for young research talents
Fifteen researchers who have recently received their PhDs can do their research at foreign research institutes thanks to a Rubicon grant from NWO. The Rubicon programme gives young, promising researchers the opportunity to gain international research experience. Among them, physicists Benedetta Flebus and Chris Smiet.

At the University of Calidornia, Benedetta Flebus (Utrecht University), will investigate how topological defects in magnetic materials can be used to efficiently transmit information in the classical and quantum mechanical regimes. Chris Smiet (Leiden University) will use topology to describe new magnetic structures that will make the generation of this energy possible. He will move to the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
