Annotation
Description In 2012, Leo Kouwenhoven's Group at Delft University of Technology was the first to detect the long-sought Majorana particle. Three years later, fellow physicists led by Ronald Hanson demonstrated the existence of 'spooky action at a distance' in the quantum world - an experiment that proved Einstein wrong and made front-page news in the New York Times. Two examples of top physics in the Netherlands realised with funding from FOM, the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter.<br/><br/>Now that FOM has become a part of the NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) with effect from 1 January 2017, it is a highly appropriate moment to provide a brief history of this striking, unconventional and influential FOM - 'a whale in the pond'. Strings, Mirrors and Tape, presents 70 years of inventive physics research that has made a difference, from the enriched uranium of Jaap Kistemaker to the gravitational theory of Erik Verlinde that turns the cosmos upside down.
