Deception in Democracy: Political Lying Accusations and Their Effects on Democratic Citizenship
In today’s age of ‘misinformation’, politicians are frequently accused of bending the truth to their advantage. As citizens rely on accurate and accessible information to meaningfu...
Performance of alkali-activated slag binder in immobilizing heavy metals
It is commonly known that Portland cement production causes tremendous environmental impacts. In this context, sustainable binders are desired. Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) ha...
Tracking Hydrates In Refined Sub-neptunes to Tackle their Emergence and Evolution
THIRSTEE is a ground-breaking project focusing on sub-Neptunes, a class of planets with masses and radii between those of Earth and Neptune. These planets are the most common in th...
A radically new approach to laser additively manufacture metals with periodic coarse-fine grain structures for breaking the strength-ductility trade-off
Periodic lamellar metals (PLMs) with coarse-to-fine grained microstructures provides a new way to overcome the strength-ductility trade-off through the accumulation of geometricall...
Functionality Rotation-Mediated Solvent Separations in Nanochannel Membranes
Nanochannel membranes with 1-nm/sub-1-nm channels provide an energy-efficient and sustainable way of solvent separations for global process-based industries that operate on solvent...
Co-benefits and synergies between biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation and climate change mitigation from a social-ecological systems perspective
CoBioPovCli addresses the question of how to conserve biodiversity, alleviate poverty, and mitigate climate change simultaneously, which are interrelated challenges that threaten h...
Contracts for Control System Design
The expansion and performance improvement of our engineered systems have traditionally been achieved by increasing the level of automation, driven by advances in control system des...
CO2 Removal. The Technopolitics of Negative Emissions Technologies
The project analyzes the Technopolitics of Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) in global climate action. It is a sociological project inspired by interdisciplinary approaches fr...
Enhancing the implementation security of quantum key distribution
The advent of quantum computers poses a severe threat to the security of our existing communication infrastructure. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), which bases its security on the...
Building Integrated Thermoelectric System (BITES): An environmentally friendly approach for self-heating and cooling in buildings
Advancements in technologies for progressing decarbonization through clean energy production have recently captured global attention. Capturing thermal energy from the environment...
Revealing the Hidden Universe: A Comprehensive Study of Low-Mass Galaxies Beyond the Local Group
Low-mass (dwarf) galaxies, with masses under a few billion solar masses, hold significant importance in astrophysics. They are the key objects in challenging dark matter models on...
Understanding the psychology of the manosphere and how to protect young people from its negative influence
In the last 10 years, online misogyny has increased at an alarming rate. Social media influencers within the ‘manosphere’ preach that women are fundamentally inferior to men and ou...
The Prosopography of the Imperial Church of the Empire of the Romans in Antioch during the time of Nikon of the Black Mountain, circa AD 950-1100
This project, ""The Prosopography of the Imperial Church of the Empire of the Romans in Antioch during the time of Nikon of the Black Mountain, circa AD 950-1100"" (hereafter PICER...
Ecosystemic Resilience against Platformization
Digital platforms can massively erode the social environment in which they operate. For instance, short-term rental platforms (STRs) such as Airbnb dislodge vulnerable locals from...
Abundance of rational points on low-degree del Pezzo surfaces
Describing the set of rational solutions to polynomial equations is the oldest field in mathematics and one of the fundamental goals in number theory. In arithmetic geometry such s...
Strategies for Competence Integration and Lifelong Learning in European Destinations. Female migrant healthcare workers in Scandinavia.
For several decades, Europe has been investing substantial efforts to boost national, institutional and individual engagement in education and training for adults aged 25-64, also...
Proximity-induced magnetism and spin transport in graphene/magnetic oxide heterostructure interfaces
Although graphene is known for its superlative electronic properties, it is intrinsically characterized by weak spin-orbit coupling and paramagnetic nature at low temperature. We p...
Origin of Animals using high-quality Genomic Assemblies and Metagenomic Analyses
One of the most fundamental questions in evolutionary biology is centred on our ancestors: How did animals originate? Recent advances in various disciplines have refined this quest...
Variable Stiffness Upper Limb Prosthesis
Losing a limb can profoundly impact a person's physical, emotional, and social well-being. While current upper limb prostheses restore users' basic motor capabilities, they fall sh...
High-power ultrasound for multiparameter single-cell mechano-phenotyping
This project will push the limits of microscale ultrasound-based technology to detect and gain access to diagnostically interesting, rare cells in the blood based on a panel of aco...
