Politics, Institutions, and Production Networks
What are the political sources and consequences of economic globalization, and how do political institutions shape globalization?Current frameworks for understanding the politics o...
Whole-organ 3D ultrasound micro-flow imaging: from basics physics to clinical proof-of-concept on cardiac and cerebral diseases
Blood circulation is essential to organs functions and occurs through a complex network of vessels with diameters varying from several millimetres for large arteries to only a few...
Regularized Density-Functional Analysis
The Kohn-Sham approach of density-functional theory (DFT) is the most widely used method in quantum chemistry and its usefulness as a practical tool can hardly be overestimated. Th...
Cofactors at the core of tau prion behaviour
Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein that regulates microtubule activity in neurons.Aggregation of tau into amyloid fibrils is diagnostic of several diseases, termed tauopath...
A Middle Way? Probing Sufficiency through Meat and Milk in China
About one-fifth of the world's greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. Much of this relates to livestock used for animal-based foods.Rather than arguing for increased...
Formation of planetary building blocks throughout time and space
The major objective of the PLANETOIDS project is to profoundly advance our understanding of planet formation. Numerous discoveries of exoplanets in the last years proved that plane...
Deep single-cell phenotyping to identify governing principles and mechanisms of the subcellular organization of bacterial replication
Modern metagenomics has opened our eyes to the immense bacterial diversity that exists both among and within us.Despite this diversity, all bacteria share the basic challenge of or...
Bridging the Games Research-Practice Gap through Theory Translation
How can theory inform design practice? This question is among the grand challenges in both Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and games research. Despite numerous efforts to bridge t...
German Arithmetical Treatises in Manuscripts of the Late Middle Ages (1400-1522). A Study on Philology, History and Culture based on a Digital Edition of the Treatises.
How was the practice of arithmetic developed and spread during the transition between the Middle Ages and the Modern Period?We know a lot about the evolution of mathematical theory...
Computationally and experimentallY BioEngineeRing the next generation of Growing HEARTs
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) results when the heart abnormally develops before birth.With diminished cardiac function, the heart fails to supply the required oxygenated blood to...
Targeting epilepsy with phototherapeutics
As photo-activatable drugs (PDs) can be precisely controlled in space and time, caged and switchable photoactivatable drugs (CPDs, SPDs) are rapidly emerging as potential therapeut...
Modern Challenges in Learning Theory
Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in the field of Machine Learning (ML).Learning algorithms are applied in an ever-increasing variety of contexts, ranging from engine...
Rhizosphere priming: Quantifying plant impacts on carbon dioxide emissions from a warming Arctic
Rapid warming is accelerating Arctic carbon cycling, including CO2 release by degradation of thawing soil organic matter and CO2 uptake by better-growing plants.Projections of futu...
Lithium Niobate Quantum systems
Quantum technologies are expected to have a transformative impact by exploiting fundamental quantum mechanical effects for technological applications such as quantum computation, q...
Towards materials at extremes: from intense dynamic compression to expansion
The project aims at developing robust, reliable and effective techniques for generation of extreme conditions.Positive TPa as well as negative MPa pressures in liquids will be prod...
Archaeal Virology: unravelling the mechanisms of interviral warfare
Archaea are ubiquitous microorganisms that are found in numerous surroundings ranging from extreme environments to the ocean and the human gut and skin.Marine archaea have a huge i...
Highly Redox-active Atomic Centers in Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are the state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage technology, sodium-ion batteries are about to become commercial, and potassium-ion batteries are attra...
The Milky Way system as a laboratory to understand the role of galactic winds in galaxy evolution
Massive stars and black holes in galaxies work together to launch multiphase, gaseous winds at velocities of hundreds of kilometres per second.These galactic winds play a fundament...
A New Bayesian Foundation for Psychometric Network Modelling
Network modelling is quickly gaining ground as a promising way to understand psychological phenomena.The rise of network analysis can be observed throughout the psychological scien...
Investigation of biological seal whiskers to create artificial whisker sensors for underwater robots
Marine animals employ diverse and fascinating flow sensing phenomena by exploiting the ambient complex fluid mechanics to track prey and escape from predators.Seals are known for t...
