LIfetime measurements with Solid Active targets
The coexistence of single-particle and collective degrees of freedom in atomic nuclei gives rise to various exotic phenomena. In nuclei with very asymmetric proton-to-neutron ratio...
Pragmatics of Multiwinner Voting: Algorithms and Preference Data Analysis
This proposal is in the area of computational social choice, an area on the intersection of computer science and economics. We study multiwinner elections, with a focus on a pragma...
A New Spin on Quantum Atom-Light Interactions
A central goal of quantum optics is to realize efficient, controlled quantum interfaces between atoms and photons. Such interfaces enable broad applications from quantum informatio...
Understanding and Preventing Plant Susceptibility to Aphids
Aphids are devastating insect pests of crops globally, and pose a major threat to food security. Crucially, there is a lack of durable genetic crop resistance against aphids, and c...
Molecular Uptake Mechanisms controlling Plant Growth
Life on Earth is sustained by plants. Growth and development in the plant kingdom is mediated by the controlled distribution of sugars and the hormone auxin, but we still know surp...
Unconventional Superfluids in Quantum Gases with Competing Interactions
Unconventional superfluids, where frictionless flow appears combined with features such as topological excitations or crystalline order, are some of the most surprising collective...
Re-evaluating the Eleventh Century through Linked Events and Entities
The aim of the RELEVEN project is to develop and test new ways for digital data about historical phenomena to be created and curated so that it is most useful to historians, and to...
Ferroelectric Nanocomposites for Enhanced Solar Energy Efficiency
Solar photovoltaics (PVs) and sustainable fuel production from photocatalysis are key technologies to displacing fossil fuel use. However, in order to drive rapid growth in PVs, an...
Protein Structure, Molecular Mechanisms and Human Genetic Disease: Beyond the Loss-of-function Paradigm
The ability to identify damaging genetic variants is central to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human disease. Computational phenotype predictors are widely used for pri...
Modelling Assisted Solid State Materials Development and Additive Manufacturing
The MA.D.AM project addresses the strong need of wire-based additive manufacturing (AM) for customized value-added metallic materials that are not established yet. The project aims...
Innocent Children or Security Threats? European Children Born of War
How can we ensure that children born of war do not pay for the sins of their parents? Political debates about how to address the plight of children born of foreign fighters to ISIS...
Exploitation of enzyme promiscuity to generate ribosomal natural product diversity
Natural sources have been highly important for the discovery of new drugs, offering compounds that possess exciting and potent bioactivities. The development of many promising natu...
Deciphering the role of RNA modifications during ribosomal decoding and protein synthesis
All living cells employ messenger RNAs (mRNA), transfer RNAs (tRNA) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) to decode genomic information and synthesize the correct set of proteins at the right...
Unknown functions of Osteocyte DEath
Osteocytes are long-lived cells within the bone matrix that have a variety of functions in the control of bone remodeling. They are the most frequent cells of the bone by far and m...
Conditions for the emergence of evolution during abiogenesis
Abiogenesis, the transition from non-living to living matter, is at the core of the origin of life question. However, the dynamical processes underlying abiogenesis remain unknown....
Owners of a Common Heritage. Commons, Environment and Rights in European Mountains (18th - 20th century)
The OCHER project investigates the relation between in-context historical forms of collective management of lands and resources and their current environmental and landscape value,...
Untangling fibroblast plasticity in vascular ageing
Vascular ageing is a major cause of cardiovascular disease, but effective treatment for fibrotic effects of vascular ageing is lacking. Recent studies show that fibroblasts exhibit...
Electrochemical-mediated site-selective halogenation of phenol as a platform for accessing poly-substituted arenes.
ElectroPheX aims to develop electrochemically-mediated methods for the site-selective halogenation of phenols. Electrochemistry will be the main feature of this project as it can b...
Magnon propagation in two dimensional magnets
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, are crystalline planar structures with weak out-of-plane van der Waals (vdW) forces. Such 2D materials are often associated with extraordinary elect...
Mechanisms of Cell Extrusion controlling Tissue Homeostasis in the Intestine
The intestinal epithelium undergoes continuous self-renewal through coordination of cell proliferation in the crypt and cell removal in the villus region. The aim of this project i...
