A probabilistic framework for assessing polar wander – Constraining paleolongitude in deep time
The quantification of past plate motions is of paramount importance to advancing our understanding of Earth’s evolution.Plate motions of the last ~130 Ma are well-resolved from mag...
Enabling the discovery of Earth's temporary satellite with the Large Survey of Space and Time
Earth's minimoons are a transient population of asteroids which occasionally become gravitationally bound to the Earth for a limited period of time.Their physical characterisa...
Understanding and exploiting competitive solvent interactions in supramolecular polymerization: from solutions to bulk materials
During the last three decades, tremendous progress has been made in the field of Supramolecular Polymers (SPs), and several fundamental issues have been disclosed. As a result, the...
Healthcare applications of Stimuli-Responsive Elastin-Like Polypeptide Nanocarriers
One of the main challenges in drug delivery is the fabrication of carriers that possess a molecular trigger or property that induces tumor cell death or activates the release of th...
Uncharted Anti-Radicalism Strategies: Challenging the Interpretative and Hermeneutical Methodologies of the Salafi-Jihadi Theology
Killing of civilians, death penalty, enslavement, or gender discrimination are common Salafi-Jihadi practices.The emergence of the Salafi-Jihadi theology embodied by groups such as...
Tracking Information in Quantum Networks
Recent technological advances allow to build revolutionary devices for information processing by making use of quantum mechanics.Most strikingly, quantum communication allows to tr...
Many Diasporas from One Transnational Italy
TransIT is inspired by the necessity of promoting a more open and complex perception of Italian culture in the context of higher education.It aims to broaden the conception of Ital...
Design and construction of programmed protocells for intercellular networks and biomimetic communications
Artificial cellular counterparts (protocells) can be fabricated to produce explicit biomimetic outcomes such as RNA-mediated replication, gene expression, metabolism, etc.These syn...
Understanding substrate delivery for cell wall biosynthesis in plants
Plant cell walls are essential for plant growth and provide us with food, clothing, shelter, and renewable energy.Nevertheless, key aspects of cell wall structure and the molecular...
Nanomechanical intervention of bacterial mechanotransduction
Mechanical force is a ubiquitous perturbation that operates at all levels of life, from single molecules to organs.At the tissue level, cells are constantly exposed to forces exert...
Marine chemical glycobiology: a molecular understanding of the carbon cycle and bioactive sulfated marine glycans
Marine microalgae sequester as much CO2 into carbohydrates as terrestrial plants. However, the marine carbon cycle is currently not understood in molecular detail.MARINEGLYCAN seek...
Marriage, Migration and Sexuality: African Migrants in Interracial Same-sex Partnerships
In an interconnected world, the introduction of same-sex marriage in many countries has also affected the lives of LGBTI persons outside their territories, even where homosexuality...
Unravelling the mechanism of nuclear transport using optical nanopores
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the gatekeeper of the nucleus that regulates the flow of all molecules across the nuclear envelope. Remarkably, this ~40 nm wide pore is capable o...
Endothelial Cells - an Overlooked Non-hematopoietic cOmponent of tuMor immunitY
Despite decades of research, cancer remains the second leading cause of death globally. Amongst all cancers, lung cancer is the deadliest in both men and women worldwide. Immune ch...
Photoexcitation for New-to-Nature Enzymatic Reactions
Enzymatic catalysis plays a centrally important role for the preparation of chiral molecules and in the transition towards a more sustainable chemistry. In spite of their potential...
Architectural atmospheRES: the emotiONal impact of ambiANCES measured through conscious, bodily, and neural responses.
For human beings, spatial experiences are conditioned by architecture. How we perceive our built surroundings affects our psychophysical wellbeing, feelings, and behavior. This arg...
Migrant integration governance in CEE cities post 2015
This research project aims to access a novel form of governance of migration emerged in Central and Eastern European (CEE) cities in the post-2015 context. The governance of integr...
Theoretical Methods for Better Core Level Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Core level X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is one of the most widely used experimental techniques in surface science and surface analysis. However, the interpretation of rec...
Beyond Brands, Forms of Life. At the Heart of Marketing, the Experience.
This project will demonstrate the significance of semiotics (the study of meaning-making) for science and society by developing a definition and conceptualisation of one of the mos...
A developed thermochemical approach for catalytic depolymerization of plastics
Plastics-waste issues such as climate change, energy depletion, and environmental pollution are long-term challenges. To meet the target 60 % plastics recycling by 2050, a disrupti...
