Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles and their Application in Chemistry and Biomedicine (MAG(NET)ICFUN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles are proposed as smart platforms for applications in chemistry - emphasizing catalysis -, environmental chemistry - emphasizing catalytic detoxification, or biomedicine - emphasizing delivery of biomolecules and drugs. The magnetic properties of the entities offer an additional dimension for their manipulation by external magnetic fields, e.g. for flow reactors ...

Retina-inspired ENcoding for advanced VISION tasks (RENVISION)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
The retina is a sophisticated distributed processing unit of the central nervous system encoding visual stimuli in a highly parallel, adaptive and computationally efficient way. Recent studies show that rather than being a simple spatiotemporal filter that encodes visual information, the retina performs sophisticated non-linear computations extracting specific spatio-temporal stimulus features in ...

Near-Infrared Semiconductor Plasmonic Nanocrystals for Enhanced Photovoltaics (NIRPLANA)
Start date: May 16, 2012, End date: May 15, 2014,
"Plasmonics is a hot and rapidly expanding research field. Of particular interest is the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) observed in noble metal nanocrystals (NCs). It leads to strong light scattering and enhanced light-matter interaction. However, the LSPR of metal NCs is restricted to visible wavelengths, unless multipole resonances are enhanced via shape engineering of the NCs.Recent ...
