Detection and Speciation of Gas-Phase Atmospheric Peroxy and Criegee Radicals
Earth’s lower atmosphere is oxidative and its chemistry consists of reactions of short-lived chemical compounds called radicals, controlling the abundance of key compounds, such as...
Semantics-empowered Wireless Connectivity: Theoretical and Algorithmic Foundations
Wireless connectivity is traditionally viewed as an opaque data pipe carrying content and messages, whose meaning, impact upon receipt, and usefulness for achieving a goal, have be...
Pamphlets and Patrons: How courtiers shaped the public sphere in Ancien Régime France
PAPA will rewrite significantly the story of the emergence of modern politics, re-evaluate Ancien Rgime society, and re-assess the origins of the French Revolution. To do so, it wi...
Shedding Light on the Nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy with Multi-Wavelength All-Sky Surveys
Despite two decades of intensive efforts after the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe, the nature of dark energy that dominates 68 percent of the energy densit...
Engineering a Trustworthy Society: The Evolution, Perception and Impact of China’s Social Credit System
The Chinese Social Credit System (SCS) is an ambitious social engineering scheme of an unprecedented nature. It collects information from commercial, legal and social spheres; inte...
Ancient Astral Science in Transformation
The introduction of the zodiac in Babylonia in the 5th century BCE was a turning point in the history of astral science - astronomy and astrology, scholarship and culture at large....
A Phenomenological, Computational and Neural model of the Sense of Reality
We all rely on our senses to convey veridical information about the world around us, which we call “Reality”. However, distortions of reality in the form of hallucinations or illus...
The roots and evolution of the culture-of-death. A taphonomic research of the European Paleolithic record
There can be no more profound insight into the human mind than the complex cultural practices surrounding death. While all human cultures across the globe today engage in funerary...
Photonics for High-Dimensional Quantum Networking
Humanitys reliance on the rapid and free flow of information cannot be understated. Over the last two decades, control over the spectral, temporal, and spatial structure of light h...
Supersolids and Beyond: Exploring New States of Matter with Laser-Cooled Dipolar Molecules
Quantum mechanics becomes most fascinating when its counterintuitive phenomena are observable on a macroscopic scale. The goal of this project is to realize and study novel states...
SPAtially-Controlled lIgand arraNGement by origami-based nanoprinters
The key challenge of SPACING is to develop a beyond state-of-the-art technology to self-assemble pre-designed 3D ligand configurations with sub-nanometer precision (nanopatterning)...
Decomposition methods for discrete problems
The main goal of the project is to radically expand our understanding of decomposition methods for discrete problems, with a particular focus on the design of parameterized and app...
Operando-Spectroscopy Annular Reactor for Spectro-kinetic Analysis in Heterogeneous Catalysis
The big challenge facing the chemical and related industries in the 21st century is the transition towards more sustainable manufacturing processes that efficiently use raw materia...
Swimming asleep: characterization, ontogenesis and energetic basis of sleep during paddling in waterfowl
Although sleep has been found in most animals, our understanding of its function remains limited. A longstanding theory proposed that sleep has energy saving functions. Thus, an in...
Flow Photoelectrocatalysis via Hydrogen-Atom Transfer: net-oxidative C-H to C-C bond conversion
Currently, direct C-H to C-C bond conversion achieved via photocatalyzed Hydrogen Atom Transfer is mainly limited to redox neutral transformations, where the electrons in the reage...
Colloidal two-dimensional InP nanocrystals
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) attract immense interest both from the scientific community and industrial companies/startups, due to their unique optical properties tha...
Green Engineering for Aroma Stabilization
Aromas represent highly valuable substances that are widely applied in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Although aromas are high in demand, their instability repr...
