Engineering Extremely Rare Events in Astrodynamics for Deep-Space Missions in Autonomy
A new space era is fast approaching. A multitude of miniaturised probes will soon permeate the inner solar system. The abundantly variegated minor bodies will be the destinations o...
Portable Luminescent Sensor for Volatile Organic Compounds
The LUMIVOCS project will exploit the recently developed luminescent Guest@MOF composite materials, which exhibit unique phototunable properties to engineer a revolutionary sensor...
Mechanical and Electrical Guidance of Collective Cell Migration in vivo
Directional collective cell migration (dCCM) is key for cellular clusters to reach their target tissues in embryogenesis, tissue repair, and metastasis. Though cells interact with...
Targeting Tau-induced cognitive decline with antisense oligonucleotides to synaptogyrin-3
Tauopathies (that include Alzheimer’s disease) are characterized by hyperphosphorylation or mutations in the microtubuleassociated protein Tau. This reduces the affinity of Tau to...
Dynamic charging at moving contact lines
Water drops sliding over hydrophobic surfaces can lead to surface charging. In contrast to charging caused by friction between two solid phases, drop slide electrification is large...
Probing r-process nucleosynthesis through its electromagnetic signatures
The lightest chemical elements Hydrogen and Helium were created about a minute after the Big Bang. Elements up to Iron are forged by fusion reactions in stars. Heavy elements betwe...
The Ties that Bind: Experimental Analyses of Political Solidarities in Modern European Democracies
POLITSOLID investigates the micro-foundations of political solidarities in fast-changing European polities. It analyses why some ordinary citizens show a high overall willingness t...
Biocatalytic alkylation: fitting enzymes for selective C-C bond formations
Alkylation, in particular carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation, is one of the most important and challenging synthetic transformations in chemistry. Current chemical approaches for C...
Predicting Energy Release in fault Systems: Integrating Simulations, Machine learning, Observations
Quantum leaps in observations have recently upended our classical view of earthquakes & tsunamis and have demonstrated that our understanding of these destructive natural events is...
The meanings of ‘voting’ for ordinary citizens, their causes and consequences
On Election Day, citizens are usually asked to vote by placing a mark besides one party and/or candidate on a ballot paper. What meanings do citizens attribute to that mark? Freque...
The evolution and regulation of major transitions in sexual systems: new insights from the brown algae
Sexual reproduction is a pervasive phenomenon that produces new genetic combinations in nearly all eukaryotic lineages. Whilst the core processes that define meiotic sex (meiosis a...
Neurofilaments in Health and neurodegenerative diseases
Neurofilaments (NFs) are a highly dynamic cytoskeletal network, which exhibits essential functions in neurons and are key actors in neurodegeneration. NFs are not only a genetic ca...
New Approaches to Counting and Sampling
Probabilistic models have been adopted in almost all scientific disciplines. Many related computational problems arise, involving estimating the probability of certain events, or d...
Intergovernmental Organizations between Mission and Market: International Institutional Law and the Private Sector
Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) such as the World Health Organization or International Maritime Organization have always been assumed to work for the public good. Yet, they...
Advancing materials design by high-accuracy finite-temperature first principles calculations accelerated by machine learning potentials
Phase diagrams have revolutionized materials development by providing the conditions for phase stabilities and transformations, and thereby a thorough thermodynamic understanding o...
Books of the Medieval Parish Church
Book production became a market-orientated craft long before the invention of printing. In the late-medieval manuscript economy, the parish churches formed one of the biggest entit...
Blood-brain barrier: from molecular mechanisms to intervention strategies
Brain endothelial cells (ECs) are endowed with a set of molecular and metabolic adaptations that stringently orchestrate the molecular and cellular transit between the brain and th...
Mechanisms and Ecological Relevance of Direct Plant Responses to the Third Trophic Level
Interactions between plants, herbivores and herbivore natural enemies, so-called tritrophic interactions, are important determinants of ecological processes and crop yields. Plants...
Thresholds and tipping points in ecosystem responses to global warming
Terrestrial ecosystems are important in providing key services to humankind, but under global warming the provisioning of such ecosystem services is at risk. However, there is litt...
Bioinspired, biphasic and bipolar flow batteries with boosters for sustainable large-scale energy storage
To satisfy our growing energy demand while reducing reliance on fossil fuels, a switch to renewable energy sources is vital. The intermittent nature of the latter means innovations...
