The Semi-paracrystalline Organization in Polymers: Towards Stable Organic Solar Cells
Most advanced semiconducting polymers do not seem to fit in the traditional structural clasification of polymers, which labels polymers as amorphous, semicrystalline or paracrystal...
How do drug-associated contexts drive behaviour? The role of entorhinal circuitry in addiction
Addiction to drugs is a ubiquitous neuropathological disease that inflicts immense societal costs.A core aspect of addiction that poses a major challenge for treatment is the prope...
Real-time, High-throughput, Coherent X-ray Microscopy: from Large-Scale Installations to Tabletop Device
Recent advances in Coherent X-ray Microscopy opened new exciting avenues for 2D/3D imaging, allowing to visualize deformations in batteries and solar cells during charge migration,...
The Culture of Algorithmic Models: Advancing the Historical Epistemology of Artificial Intelligence
The project proposes an alternative epistemology of artificial intelligence (AI).It argues that what is at stake in AI is not its similarity to human rationality (anthropomorphism)...
A light-efficient microscope for fast volumetric imaging of photon starved samples
Bioluminescence microscopy offers a powerful tool for background free imaging of biological samples without an excitation laser.This enabling technology would afford a wide range o...
4D scanning transmission electron microscopy for structural biology
Electron Microscopy (EM) has transformed research in the Life and Physical Sciences separately.Cryo-EM in Life Sciences allows the 3D structure determination of proteins down to 1....
Advanced Magnetic Components for High-Efficiency and High-Power-Density Converters
Today’s magnetic components, such as inductors and transformers, in power converters operating at a low frequency of around 100-500 kHz are large compared to other electronic compo...
Disentangling and Preventing Economic Violence against Women
Violence against women is a violation of fundamental human rights and substantially compromises womens health, wellbeing, and empowerment. Globally, more than one in four women exp...
Specializing TEmporal Planning using Reinforcement Learning
Planning - devising a strategy to achieve a desired objective - is one of the basic forms of intelligence. Temporal planning studies the automated synthesis of strategies when time...
Strain-Free All Heusler Alloy Junctions
Spintronics is anticipated to replace current semiconductor-based memories and sensors based on fast-operating times (< ns) and low power consumption (
Solidarity, Sovereignty, and Sanctuary on the Seas: A Global History of Boat Refugees since the 1940s
In 2015, over one million boat refugees sailed across the Mediterranean. This was not the first time that people took to the seas in search of asylum.During the 1940s, Jewish boat...
Neural and serotonergic mechanisms underlying time valuation in rats
Time is our scarcest resource.Humans and other animals must decide how to spend their time, choosing from endlessly many activities with distant and uncertain outcomes, thereby ass...
Novel biomarkers for improving diagnostics, prognostics, and treatments of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimers disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and a major global health challenge. AD has a long pre-symptomatic phase spanning several decades. The accuracy of clin...
Live imaging module for organoids
The increased use of organoids (22% growth rate market) creates a new need: methods of rapid high throughput screening of the organoids for quality control in the case where they a...
Cell size as driver of stem cell aging and cancer
The failure to regenerate tissue underlies a challenging health issue in elderly. A main contributor to this decline is the loss of stem cell function during aging.Despite the esse...
Anthropogenic Environments in the Future Tense: Loss, Change and Hope in Post-Soviet Industrial Landscapes
Driving from the airport towards the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan will carry the passenger past the new EXPO building with its permanent exhibition on Kazakhstans bright future of sma...
A new science of parenthood
How does life, how does a person change when one becomes a parent? Are new parents really lost as close friends? Are they actually better listeners because they have learned to put...
Controlling imperfect robot swarms
Robot swarms are incredibly fragile against imperfections.World-class roboticists agree that one of the fundamental challenges in robotics is on the availability of systematic meth...
Light-Frozen Dynamic Covalent Synthesis of Organic Semiconducting Materials
Designing the materials of tomorrow requires the development of conceptually different synthetic methodology.Creating large conjugated molecular scaffolds often requires many synth...
Personalised Mechanobiological Models to Predict Tumour Growth and Anti-Cancer Drug Penetration
Personalised cancer medicine presents an exciting frontier in healthcare that tailors disease mitigation and intervention to an individual patient.However, existing technologies fa...
