Screening Souls, Building Nations. Macedonia(s) as a Laboratory for Balkan-wide Authoritatianism
The project aims to investigate a little-explored and usually neglected aspect of the Macedonian Question throughout the late nineteenth and most of the twentieth century: namely,...
Deciphering the Exposome by Metabolomic Technology in Breast Cancer
EXPOMET proposes a pioneering mass spectrometry-based platform for omic-scale assessment of chemical exposures.EXPOMET will revolutionize our perception of environmental contaminan...
Continuous sub-mK refrigeration by demagnetization of atomic nuclei
The proposed ERC PoC project is to construct the first continuous nuclear demagnetization refrigerator (CNDR). Reaching temperatures near 10 mK has become relatively easy in the la...
Human Face Identity Categorization: Bridging the Gap between Vision and Social Semantics
HUMANFACE is based on a proposed global theory of human face identity recognition, conceptualized as a categorization function (i.e., Face Identity Categorization, FIC).FIC is cons...
Untangling population representations of objects. A closed loop approach to link neural activity to mouse behavior.
A paramount component of intelligence is our ability to extract useful information in the world through our sensory observations.Object recognition is a fundamental problem in visu...
On intelligenCE And Networks
Until recently, most of the major advances in machine learning and decision making have focused on a centralized paradigm in which data are aggregated at a central location to trai...
Polynomial-time Computation: Opening the Blackboxes in Constraint Problems
The class P of polynomial-time computable computational problems is the most important and robust complexity class for the study of efficient computation. Answering what problems b...
Cryptography for Second Layer Blockchain Protocols
Blockchain technologies offer an exciting new alternative for centralized platform providers.They distribute trust over a large number of parties, thereby promising major benefits...
Anion Exchange Membrane Water stack based on Earth Abundant 2D Materials for Green Hydrogen Production
The baseline technology for green H2 production is the water-electrolysis (WE).However, roughly 96% of the H2 produced today is from fossil fuels, with the remaining 4% produced th...
Quantum dynamical neural networks
Quantum neural networks are a young research field, that has been rapidly expanding due to their potential to attain revolutionary computing capacities and the possibility to learn...
Immune Synapse Engagement as a Novel Approach for Cancer Immunotherapy
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting immune checkpoints have revolutionized cancer treatment but exhibit several challenges, most notably, limited intratumor efficacy and relativ...
Mending sex differences: Unravelling the female predominance in pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare but progressive fatal disease characterized by accumulation of persistently activated cell types in the pulmonary vascular wall exhibiting abn...
Live biotherapeutics to potentiate cancer immunotherapy
Immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has revolutionized the treatment of multiple cancers.Anti-tumor responses are often durable but overall only a subset...
Manipulating nonlinear sound waves using non-Hermiticity and active control. Nonlinear and Active Sound Absorption
Audible sound is an inevitable physical phenomenon which can be the best or the worst of all things. In its best form, is essential to human communication and entertainment.In its...
Predicting the Extreme
Matter at extreme densities and temperatures is ubiquitous in nature and occurs, e.g., in planetary interiors.In addition, such warm dense matter (WDM) conditions are of high impor...
Enhanced quantum resilience through twists
Quantum technology will revolutionize information transmission, processing, and sensing with unprecedented potential for science, economy, and the society as a whole.Yet, the stron...
Pages of Prayer: The Ecosystem of Vernacular Prayer Books in the Late Medieval Low Countries, c. 1380-1550
Vernacular prayer books were by far the most commonly read book in the late medieval Low Countries.The mainstay of this vast corpus is the Book of Hours in the translation by Geert...
Identifying Atherosclerotic Plaques at Risk: A Microstructure-based Biomechanistic Approach
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture in arteries is the primary cause of cardiovascular events such as heart infarct and stroke, which are responsible for 45% of deaths in Europe. Plaque...
Atmospheric tracing of Earth's evolution
Planetary atmospheres are fundamental reservoirs controlling the habitability of planets.The chemical and isotopic compositions of atmospheric constituents also hold clues on the g...
Integrating non-living and living matter via protocellular materials (PCMs) design and synthetic construction
The bottom-up construction of synthetic cells or protocells from inanimate molecules and materials is one of the grand challenges of our time.While research thus far has been focus...
