Explaining human decision-making by combining choice and process data
Decision-making is a core element of human activity, and the decisions we make can have significant consequences for ourselves, others, and the world we live in.Thus, the ability t...
Dynamics of mental representations and learning in preverbal infants
Understanding the initial architecture and learning algorithms of the human brain are central goals for cognitive neuroscience.Anatomical and functional brain-imaging studies have...
Retelling and Repetition: Towards a Literary History of Derivation
Why are contemporary readers so fascinated by retellings of the Iliad or Beowulf?And why have retellings of premodern – ancient and medieval – texts not been taken seriously as a l...
Eco-Islam in Indonesia: Media, Institutions, Publics
In Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country, a so-called mediated “eco-jihad” (Zbidi 2013) has emerged.Today, Islamic ‘green’ pop musicians, eco-YouTube-imams, films, an...
Female Slavery in Mediterranean Catholic Europe, 1500-1800
More than one million, and perhaps as many as two million individuals were enslaved in the Catholic regions of the early modern Mediterranean.Despite evidence of the prevalence of...
New physics in parity violation. From the Thomson limit to the energy frontier
The theory of elementary particle physics, the Standard Model (SM), provides a successful description of the basic constituents of matter and the forces acting between them.However...
Digital Time Use, Adolescent Well-Being and Social Inequalities
In our highly unequal and digitalised world, understanding how adolescents digital lives intersect with social inequalities is critical.Research has consistently shown that adolesc...
Deep learning of chemical reactions
The exploration of reactions is a central topic in chemistry.Compared to the success of machine learning for molecules, the modeling of reactions is lagging behind, especially for...
Electricity generated from heat with nonlinear pyroelectric materials
Electric energy stands for 20% of the total energy consumed in the world, and this share is expected to reach 40% by 2050 as an outcome of the need to decrease our dependence on no...
Neuromorphic computing system for real-time signal monitoring and classification with ultra-low-power 2D devices
The detection and classification of electrophysiological signals (EPSs), such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) recordings, are the gold standard in neuros...
TURBULENCE, PEBBLES AND PLANETESIMALS : THE ORIGIN OF MINOR BODIES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The Minor Bodies of the Solar System, Asteroids, Trojans, Comets and Kuiper Belt Objects are left over planetary building bricks called planetesimals once abundant in the solar neb...
Natural scavenger repellents from Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus
The ecology of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus (XP) bacteria requires the production of bioactive natural products against invertebrates, vertebrates, bacteria, and fungi. XPdeter wil...
Sound insulation prediction and optimization
With urbanization accelerating on a global scale, airborne and impact sound insulation have become key performance quantities of building elements. Unfortunately, acoustic requirem...
Novel production routes for the fabrication of tailor-made, crystalline, self-structuring oleogels for functional food and pharmaceutical applications
One out of five deaths in the EU in 2017 were linked to unhealthy diets and it is estimated that 53% of the EU population is overweight or obese, creating an unsustainable burden o...
Sweet Origins of Life: Peering into the Past with Today’s Biochemistry
Approximately four billion years ago, chemical and geological processes on the ancient Earth caused a continuous increase in the complexity of organic molecules, ultimately leading...
Wireless magnetothermal entero-modulation
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders affect over 40% of the world population.Pharmacological agents that modulate cell function and subsequently impact processes involved in such disord...
Deciphering host-microbiome interactions in anti-cancer immunity
Despite unprecedented clinical success, T cell-based immunotherapies present significant heterogeneity in response rates, often attributed to dampened activation and limited tumour...
TIME-Varying Nanophotonics for New Regimes of QED LIGHT-Matter Interactions
Controlling light and its interaction with matter at the nanoscale is one of the major aims of current Science with applications ranging from energy-efficient photonic-based commun...
Accelerating biofilm Matrix dispersion with Deep Eutectic Solvents
A growing demand for clean water is driving the increased adoption of water-recycling and water-desalination, particularly in water-stressed regions. These processes are highly dep...
Multiscale mechanobiological synergies in vascular homeostasis, ageing and rejuvenation
Whilst 30% of EU citizens will be over 65 and 10% over 80 by 2050, the healthspan accounts for only 80% of the total life expectancy according to Eurostat, due to the high prevalen...
