Shimura varieties and the Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
One of the most famous open problems in mathematics is the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture, which predicts that the size of the set of rational points on an elliptic curve i...
Forest Intelligence: robotic networks inspired by the Wood Wide Web
Plants are connected to each other by an underground network of fungi that provide them with nutrients, help share resources, and extend their perception abilities. This mycorrhiza...
CHILDREN AND GENDER INEQUALITY
Women continue to face large and persistent drops in terms of all labor market outcomes at the arrival of children. Researchers now understand that these “child penalties” on women...
Photomechanical writing of cell functions
Generating artificial organs and tissues from stem cells would revolutionize regenerative medicine and open the door to controllable, biology-based robotics. These systems require...
Electro- and photochemical microreactors intensified by acoustics
Small-scale flow reactors for electro- and photochemistry support the shift in chemical manufacture towards green and sustainable processes based on renewable energy sources. Howev...
Transformative adaptation towards ocean equity
Inequality is one of the key major social challenges of our time, with far-reaching ramifications for human well-being. Our oceans, which produce vital food, enable jobs and econom...
Understanding Late Antique Top-Down Communication: a Study of Imperial Constitutions
The genre of late antique law texts, “constitutions”, appears puzzling to the modern observer: contrary to our expectations of clarity and brevity, they are astoundingly voluminous...
Information and Misinformation Economics: Design, Manipulations and Coutermeasures
Informational environments are largely endogenous. They can be, and often are, chosen or designed by individuals or organizations with specific objectives in mind. As recognized by...
REpurposing lung Surfactant Protein B for Inhalation therapy with RNA therapeutics
RESPIRNA aims to repurpose lung surfactant protein B (SP-B) to promote the cytosolic delivery of RNA in lung-related target cells. RNA therapeutics, including small interfering RNA...
Soil MIcrobial responses to land use and climatic changes in the Light of Evolution
Quoting T. Dobzhansky, “nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution”. This idea could shed new light on how soil microbes access, transform, store, and release...
Active and Adaptive: Reconfigurable Active Colloids with Internal Feedback and Communication Schemes
The vision of creating autonomous materials constituted of microscale motile units promises to disrupt a broad range of technologies but is still far beyond our reach. Inspired by...
Post-transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms underlying B cell selection by T cells in germinal centers
Enduring protection from pathogens and robust responses to vaccination depend on the generation of high-affinity antibodies through the germinal center (GC) reaction. In GCs, T hel...
Catalyst Control over X-Fold Stereogenicity
Catalytic, stereoselective methodologies to study the control over the configuration of stereogenic elements with three- four-, five- and six-fold stereoisomerism are proposed. Pre...
Micro Structure and Macro Outcomes
MICRO2MACRO proposes a research agenda where macroeconomic outcomes emerge as the equilibrium aggregation of decisions by interlinked micro-units of production operating in narrow,...
Neural Spectral Image Decoding
Had we the capacity to image the molecular tissue composition in real time, without exposing the patient or clinical staff to radiation, then this would revolutionize healthcare. S...
Cross-dimensional Activation of Two-Dimensional Semiconductors for Photocatalytic Heterojunctions
Spacetime defines existence and evolution of materials. A key path to human’s sustainability through materials innovation can hardly circumvent materials dimensionalities. Despite...
Bioactive peptides from human brown fat cells mediating metabolic control
Obesity is an increasing problem where the central nervous system (CNS) plays a major role by regulating food intake. This regulation is based on feedback systems from peripheral o...
Transition Metal Catalysis Towards Saturation in Organic Molecules through Alkyl Radical Chemistry
The construction of C-C bonds represents the foundation of synthetic organic chemistry. Specifically, the installation of (sp3)-hybridized carbons is among the most important trans...
Providing access to cost-efficient, replicable, safe and flexible CCUS
ACCSESS – providing access to cost-efficient, replicable, safe and flexible CCUS. Main objectives: 1)Demonstrate, at TRL7, and integrate cost-efficient CO2 capture and use in indus...
High Performance Bio-based Functional Coatings for Wood and Decorative Applications
Achieving a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 requires the replacement of fossil-based material with bio-based material on a broad basis. Today, ca. 900 kt/y paints and coatings are p...
