eXtreme BENDing strain induced novel interfaces in single crystal cantilevers of strongly correlated metals
The ground state of correlated materials is controlled by tuning parameters such as pressure or strain, which are usually applied homogeneously to crystals.Here we aim for strong y...
Quantum Controlled X-ray Spectroscopy of Elementary Molecular Dynamics
Elementary processes in nature, chemical synthesis, and functional materials critically rely on photochemical transformations.Monitoring these events on the most fundamental level...
Between Canon and Coincidence: using data-driven approaches to understand Art Worlds
The BECACO project applies a novel multidisciplinary framework to studying the provenance of ethnographic and archaeological collections.Moving away from the current focus in prove...
Deformation and Recrystallization Mechanisms in Metals
Combining strength and formability, metals are indispensable for modern life.Their properties firmly depend on processing, typically involving a series of plastic deformation steps...
Towards a connected history of population, environmental change, capital and conflict in Russian Eurasia, 1860s-1920s
Land Limits is a ground-breaking environmental history that explores the ecological impact of population growth in Eurasia, from the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 to the close...
Deconstructing Intestinal Immune Tolerance
The intestinal tract is the main site of nutrient absorption and faces constant exposure to complex environmental stimuli.Intestinal barrier integrity and functionality are safegua...
Citizen Assemblies in Europe: window dressing or transformative instruments?
To improve and even to save contemporary democracies under huge pressure and attack, a remedy has been attracting a large amount of attention: the strengthening of ordinary citizen...
Nonwage attributes, gender, and the future of work
Digital technologies, the Covid crisis, rising incomes, and changing work attitudes all contribute to the recent increase in the importance of certain nonmonetary aspects of work -...
Terrorist Group Adaptation & Lessons for Counterterrorism
Terrorist groups find ways to adapt to changes in their environment to stay relevant and powerful.This project offers new insights into this phenomenon by developing a more nuanced...
Lightweight Vibration Absorption using Buckling Metamaterials
Vibrations cause unwanted noise and even failure in many areas, including vehicles such as spacecrafts, road vehicles and trains, sensitive optical or high-tech instruments and mac...
Protecting the planet’s bloodstream: feasible and just opportunities to safeguard freshwater’s Earth system functions
Freshwater has a fundamental role in regulating the state of the Earth system.Various human actions modify the water cycle, disturbing the Earth system functions it provides, such...
Industrial Wood: European Industrialisation as Seen from the Forests (1870-1914)
INWOOD studies industrialisation through the most important pre-industrial resource: wood.Scholarship on industrialisation has concentrated on the introduction and spread of new en...
Multimodal “4D”-therapy of pediatric high grade glioma
Paediatric high grade glioma (pHGG) is the most common malignant childhood brain tumour with standard-of-care inevitably resulting in therapy-resistant relapse or disease progressi...
Decoding Death and Dying in people with Dementia by Digital thanotyping
How can we recognize that a person with dementia is at the end of life? When we are dying, our physical, mental, and social abilities are gradually declining.No reliable method of...
Volatile Element Cycles on Venus: Implications for the Evolution of Venus´ Greenhouse-Dominated Atmosphere
Venus is similar to Earth in terms of density, size and composition.Yet both bodies evolved so dramatically different that Venus now has an uninhabitable, run-away greenhouse atmos...
Living longer in poorer health? Understanding the immigrant morbidity-mortality paradox
If the global foreign-born population all lived in single country, it would be the fifth largest country in the world. The rapid rise and diversification of contemporary worldwide...
Developing Roles for Phosphates Outside of Biology: A Systems Chemistry Approach Towards Abiotic Phosphate Fuels
Phosphates and phosphate esters underpin biological information transfer, signal transduction, and contribute to the energetics of life.Biochemical fuels that include phosphates (A...
Resolving Surface Reactions in Plasma Catalysis: Towards Rational Catalyst Design
Renewable energy is key to tackling climate change and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.The intermittent supply of renewable energy hampers its efficient usage and creates a...
Staging of Plasma Accelerators for Realizing Timely Applications
High-energy physics is headed for an impasse: the next particle collider will cost several billion euros, and while designs have been ready for a decade, they are so expensive that...
SALAMI : Sapphire and diAmond LAb-on-a-chip MIcrofluidics: microreactors for extreme conditions experimentation
Extreme conditions, i.e. high pressures, high temperature (HP/HT) or harsh chemical environments are extremely difficult to study and to observe undisturbed in the field and to rep...
