Natural scavenger repellents from Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus
The ecology of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus (XP) bacteria requires the production of bioactive natural products against invertebrates, vertebrates, bacteria, and fungi. XPdeter wil...
Sound insulation prediction and optimization
With urbanization accelerating on a global scale, airborne and impact sound insulation have become key performance quantities of building elements. Unfortunately, acoustic requirem...
Novel production routes for the fabrication of tailor-made, crystalline, self-structuring oleogels for functional food and pharmaceutical applications
One out of five deaths in the EU in 2017 were linked to unhealthy diets and it is estimated that 53% of the EU population is overweight or obese, creating an unsustainable burden o...
Sweet Origins of Life: Peering into the Past with Today’s Biochemistry
Approximately four billion years ago, chemical and geological processes on the ancient Earth caused a continuous increase in the complexity of organic molecules, ultimately leading...
Wireless magnetothermal entero-modulation
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders affect over 40% of the world population.Pharmacological agents that modulate cell function and subsequently impact processes involved in such disord...
Deciphering host-microbiome interactions in anti-cancer immunity
Despite unprecedented clinical success, T cell-based immunotherapies present significant heterogeneity in response rates, often attributed to dampened activation and limited tumour...
TIME-Varying Nanophotonics for New Regimes of QED LIGHT-Matter Interactions
Controlling light and its interaction with matter at the nanoscale is one of the major aims of current Science with applications ranging from energy-efficient photonic-based commun...
Accelerating biofilm Matrix dispersion with Deep Eutectic Solvents
A growing demand for clean water is driving the increased adoption of water-recycling and water-desalination, particularly in water-stressed regions. These processes are highly dep...
Multiscale mechanobiological synergies in vascular homeostasis, ageing and rejuvenation
Whilst 30% of EU citizens will be over 65 and 10% over 80 by 2050, the healthspan accounts for only 80% of the total life expectancy according to Eurostat, due to the high prevalen...
Stable solutions and nonstandard diffusions: PDE questions arising in Mathematical Physics
The concept of diffusion is ubiquitous in the physical sciences.From the mathematical point of view, its study started in the early 19th century with the development of PDE theory,...
Quantum Complexity from Quantum Field Theories to Quantum Gravity.
Quantum field theories (QFTs) are our best models to describe nature, from new phases of matter to black holes.Still, to simulate them efficiently, we need to know the best ways to...
Discovering the developmental transition of cortical parenchyma cells into different cell fates
The root cortex is a primary ground tissue of the root organ and plays an important and adaptive role in plant growth and function.Root cortical parenchyma, thin-walled cells in th...
Whose sustainability? Understanding and redefining just sustainability transformations through disability and queer perspectives
A major adagio of the Sustainable Development Goals is “Leave no one behind” implying that actions addressing the sustainability challenges of our time should not be only ecologica...
Global reanalysis for a forest carbon sink in flux
Three trillion trees lie behind a carbon sink that has taken up about 30% of humanitys carbon emissions over recent decades. Yet whether we can continue to rely on this huge natura...
An anaerobic native approach to shine Light on C1-cycling biochemistry using Environmental microbial biomass.
Microorganisms have shaped the Earth's biogeochemistry for almost 4 billion years.Among them, anaerobic archaea dominate the carbon one-unit cycle, nourish ecosystems, and orc...
When your enemy becomes your friend: Evolution of the interaction between fungi and land plants
Plants live in close association with microbes, establishing interactions that range from beneficial to detrimental.Molecular plant-microbe interactions have been extensively studi...
MXENES AS THERMAL CATALYSTS. EXPLOITING THE IDEAL PROPERTIES OF CHAMELEONIC MATERIALS
MXenes were discovered in 2011 and, since then, have attracted attention as electro- and photocatalysts.In contrast, the ideal properties of MXenes as thermal catalysts remain almo...
The Survival of Damaged Medieval Polychromed Heritage in the Nordics
POLYCHROME will study the shifting fortunes of richly painted and gilded (polychromed) Christian images that have survived in the Nordic countries since the Reformation.How have wo...
Building emotional circuits: interfacing intrinsic programs with early-life experiences
Emotion regulation and responses to fear and stress are vital for survival and interactions with the environment.Within the brain, the amygdala governs emotional states through spe...
The Design, Creation and Survival of Democratic Laws
Democracies are constantly confronted with the challenging task of merging widely diverging worldviews, interests and values into coherent legislation.Given the increasingly hostil...
