Orbital Chern Insulators in van der Waals Moiré Systems
Topological electronic phases manifest fascinating phenomena, including electronic transport via topologically-protected edge states, anomalous responses to external fields, and ex...
Engineering biological timers and their applications
Living cells are endowed with encoded programs that allow them to execute vital tasks and respond to relevant stimuli.The use of analogous (synthetic) programs has an enormous pote...
Molecules for Nociceptor Force Transduction
Pain results from activation of the nociceptive sensory system, which is built upon the primary afferent nociceptor a type of sensory neuron specialized to detect, code and relay i...
High Performance and Large-Scale Electrodes for Selective Ion Recovery
The growing global concern surrounding water scarcity spurs societal impact by ensuring accessible and affordable freshwater resources.Furthermore, the increasing demand for high-v...
Robotic bioreactors for the longitudinal control of restorative remodelling in the human skeletal muscle
Muscle damage impairs vital functions e.g., movement, respiration. Recovery depends on the long-term interaction between neuromuscular and immune systems. If exposed to regimens of...
Tidal Disruption Events: A New Black Hole Census
Massive black holes (MBHs) are key players in high energy astrophysics, galaxy formation and evolution, and astroparticle physics. Despite their centrality to astronomy, we still c...
Development of rationally designed enzyme kits
Enzymes exhibit high efficiency, specificity, selectivity, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and the ability to function effectively under gentle biological conditions.These qualitie...
Tau, a molecular modulator of neuronal energy managment
The intraneuronal somatodendritic ""missorting"" and aggregation of Tau are pathological hallmarks in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) like and Alzheimer'...
Unraveling Parkinson´s disease diagnostic
Parkinson´s disease (PD) is a progressive, chronic, and debilitating neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure and no diagnostic test available.About 10 million people l...
Rain and cloud Organization in the Trades using ObseRvations and models
Our climate fundamentally depends on the abundance and behaviour of its smallest clouds: shallow trade cumulus clouds.Their response to climate change is a major uncertainty in cli...
Migration trajectories, natural experiments and effects of small-area contexts on health: a privacy-preserving linkage study of routine and primary data among resettlement refugees
The health effects of the migration trajectory, from pre- to post-migration in new environments, have yet been poorly studied.Methodological challenges and selection effects limit...
Polymer pRobes fOr a VISual prOsthesis
Approximately forty million people across the world are blind, a condition with serious consequences for a persons autonomy. Restoration of visual function in blind individuals is...
Packing in Discrete Domains - Geometry and Analysis
The packing problem associated with a family of sets F seeks a large subfamily of pairwise disjoint members of F.When F comprises the unit balls in d-space, this is the sphere pack...
Quantum Tensor Engine
Quantum computers harness fundamental aspects of quantum behavior to drive exponential increases in the speed with which certain computations can be performed.They have potentially...
Functional cartography of intestinal host-microbiome interactions
Microbiome-host crosstalk is crucial for gut homeostasis and its dysregulation is a hallmark of diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Despit...
Sensor islet organoids (SILORGS) for in vivo identification of anti-diabetic drugs
To develop new drugs for treatment of diabetes, there is an immediate need for an in vivo approach allowing the assessment of β-cell function and survival in the living organism no...
Improving tropical forest conservation in Africa
The importance of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for better balancing tropical forest conservation and poverty alleviation goals is increasingly recognised.Yet, in Africa, poor...
Non-invasive staining of tissue microstructure in temporal lobe epilepsy using in- vivo MRI
Ex-vivo histology is the gold standard to investigate human brain microstructure.However, its invasive nature precludes its use in monitoring disease progression and the investigat...
Deep-sea fish vision pushing limits of the vertebrate eye
Deep-sea fishes are known for extraordinary adaptations including enhanced sensory systems. They have eyes often modified in shape, anatomy or at the molecular level. Fascinatingly...
Stereotypes and Opportunities: Fostering Interactions and Awareness
Stereotypes are often at the origin of biased behaviour and can contribute to the widening of socioeconomic inequalities in diverse societies.This is especially true in the schooli...
