The missing link: inhibitory interneurons as the core of anxiety and depression comorbidity
Rates of depression and anxiety are constantly surging, resulting in a growing global mental health crisis. These two disorders have a remarkably high prevalence of comorbidity, wi...
MusculoSkeletal Expansion
People that suffer from severe muscle weakness of the (upper) limb following neurological disorders still struggle to find assistive technologies able to help them in their daily l...
Early Build-up of Ringed Planet-Forming Disks
With one planet per star on average, planet formation must be a robust process. Yet, surprisingly, we still do not fully understand how planet formation works.Current models for pl...
Afroeurope and Cyberspace: Imaginations of Diasporic Communities, Digital Agency and Poetic Strategies. Unravelling the Textures
This project explores how Afrodiasporic communities in Europe rise above the public silencing of their perspectives by using the internet to re-appropriate the discourse of who the...
Heat in the driver’s seat: unlocking the full potential of pulsed photothermal catalysis
The climate catastrophe urgently calls for greening and intensifying chemical reactors.Most chemical reactors use catalysts to speed up reactions, but their operation at steady-sta...
Flow Controlled Prosthetic Heart Valves
Prosthetic Heart Valves (HV), both biological (BHV) and mechanical (MHV), have improved the survival rate and the quality of life of valvular heart-disease patients over the last s...
The historical roots of global inequality
The aim of this project is to understand the historical roots of global inequality.Specifically, it will address two questions: Why did some regions experience an early start in th...
Controlling Electrodeposition Processes at the Nanoscale with Well-Ordered Nano-Structured Electrolytes
Even though electrodeposition processes have been used since the nineteenth century, it is remarkably challenging to control their behaviour on the nanoscale.To the naked eye, depo...
Quantum Metamaterials with integrated atomic-like arrays for quantum information processing
The key to realizing quantum systems that can implement quantum information processing is entanglement generation between many qubits.For distributing entanglement strong interacti...
Oral antibiotic outpatient therapy vs. placebo in the treatment of uncomplicated acute appendicitis: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled noninferiority trial
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies worldwide. For over a century, surgical removal of the appendix has been considered the only treatment option.Land...
Understanding Material Synthesis Conditions and Complexity at High-Pressure
Functional materials with outstanding technological properties can be found under extreme pressures and temperatures.This is particularly true for nitrides and hydrides, where the...
Probing cosmic large-scale structure beyond the average
The cosmic large-scale structure is entering a new ‘full space’ era with the launch of the Euclid galaxy survey satellite in 2023 coinciding with the first light for the Rubin Obse...
Evasion-aware Detection Sandbox
Mobile malware is getting harder and harder to detect.This is one of the reasons why malicious apps regularly appear on the official Play Store, despite the considerable effort Goo...
Material Decomposition in X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging with Coherent Sources
X-ray microtomography is increasingly popular at synchrotron sources worldwide.The high flux and excellent beam properties allow for a fast three-dimensional visualization of vario...
Stochastic PDEs and Renormalisation
The field of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) has been revolutionised in the last decade by breakthrough works of Hairer, Gubinelli-Imkeller-Perkowski, and many ot...
Widows in the Growing Print Industry, c. 1550-1700
The advent of the printing press spurred crucial intellectual, economic and social developments in early modern Europe.Widows of master printers could also have played a key role i...
Adaptation to Climate Change in Developing countries
The fast pace at which the earth climate is changing is one of the major challenges of our time.Rising temperatures are expected to reduce agricultural productivity in developing c...
Simulating the effects of low-carbon investments in electricity markets
NextENERGEIA plans to develop and test a proof-of-concept prototype of an analytical tool for simulating the social and private impact on power markets of low-carbon investments (r...
Tracing the FLUX of cosmic dust arriving to Earth during the Phanerozoic
For the last 4.5 billion years, extraterrestrial (ET) materials have continuously bombarded the Earth.Today, the Solar System debris that reaches the Earth’s surface is dominated b...
Strategic Climate Litigation’s Direct and Indirect Consequences for Democracies
Sharply increasing strategic climate litigation (SCL) is a legal and social fact.It has the potential to influence the democratic process at a time when democracy and its safeguard...
