Control over interfaces in metal oxide optical coatings: the missing piece of the puzzle
Multilayer thin-film coatings grant optical elements their specific functionality by forming a high-reflective mirror or a dichroic filter. At the same time, the coatings are the f...
Automated Image Analysis for High-Throughput Single Molecule Analysis of Biomolecules
Project Virgil aims to revolutionize single-molecule analysis by developing automated, high-throughput image-to-structure software for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) images. This...
Floodplain Weathering
Chemical weathering of rocks is central to Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. It exchanges CO2 with the atmosphere, balances CO2 emission from the mantle, and stabilizes Earth’s climat...
The Quark-Gluon Plasma through Energy Correlators
The Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in high-energy collisions of heavy nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is an exotic state of matter made of deconfined quarks and gluons,...
Computational Complexity of Highly Nonlinear Approximations
The efficient numerical treatment of partial differential equations on high-dimensional spaces often requires approximation methods involving a high degree of nonlinearity, such as...
Targeting Type 2 Diabetes with Allene-containing Molecules Using a C-N Bond Cleavage Tool
Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic disease affecting more than 450 million people world-wide and is still an unmet medical need. PPARs(Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors) and G-...
Discover the physiological and developmental functions of X chromosome dosage using new genetic and system models
Sex chromosomes are critical for controlling the phenotypic differences between males and females. However, they also create an imbalance in the gene products of sex-linked genes,...
Formation and Evolution of Exocometary Discs
The last two decades of exoplanet discoveries have revolutionised our view of planetary systems and our place in the cosmos, bringing us closer to answering fundamental questions a...
Industrial polarization imager calibration
In recent years, there has been a revolution in imaging, with a new generation of polarization-sensitive cameras entering mass markets. As we have found out in our ERC-Synergy proj...
AAV9-tRNA-Gly: Towards a first effective therapy for Charcot-Marie-Tooth peripheral neuropathy
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease, characterized by selective degeneration of peripheral motor and sensory neurons, leading to pr...
Unveiling Networks: Slavery and the European ENcounter with Islamic Material Culture (1580–1700)
From the late sixteenth century, enslaved Muslims were found across Mediterranean Europe, hosted in all major port towns in France, Spain and Italy. Mainly North Africans, Turks an...
Transforming Low-Value Wood Waste into Sustainable, High-Value, High-Performance Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials
The rapid advancement of electronic and communication technologies has heightened the complexity of electromagnetic environments, increasing the risk of device malfunctions and hea...
A Digitally-Enabled Electroconductive Patient-Specific Stimulation Implant for Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can severely impact patients, impairing neurological function. The complex pathophysiology of SCI and the poor growth capacity of neurons results in a mult...
Understanding the Demography and Stratification of Singlehood in Europe
Amid declining marriage and fertility rates, singlehood is rapidly gaining scholarly attention. Yet, singlehood scholarship is remarkably fragmented and underdeveloped. Existing th...
UNalphabeting the Central Dogma of Life
This proposal aims to construct a bacterial strain LIFE-19 which relies solely on 19 amino acids to build all its proteins. While all living cells known to human beings produce pro...
Targeting intracelular RANKL in breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females in the western world, resulting in half a million deaths annually, mainly due to metastatic disease. Triple negative breas...
Diverging patterns of reproductive behavior within countries across the globe
Sweeping transformations in reproductive behavior are taking place worldwide. The DIVREP project investigates an unanticipated, yet critical dimension of these changes: increasing...
Using Kleptoplasty to illuminate the Evolution of Plastids and the Order of Steps during endosymbiosis
Plastids, the photosynthetic organelles of eukaryotes, arose via endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria by a eukaryotic host and were subsequently spread across eukaryotic diversity by add...
PAncreatic Cancer therapeutic discovery using Monoclonal ANtibodies
The PACMAN project aims to develop a novel therapeutic approach for treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), one of the deadliest cancers with limited therapeutic options...
Unveiling lung resilience mechanisms: a ground-breaking way to cope with air pollution
Air pollution, exacerbated by heatwaves and wildfires, affects primarily the lungs, leading to potentially life-threatening effects eluding conventional treatments. In response, KI...
