DropletMicroarrays: Ultra High-Throughput Screening of Cells in 3D Microenvironments (DropCellArray)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

High-throughput (HT) screening of live cells is crucial to accelerate both fundamental biological research and discovery of new drugs. Current methods for HT cell screenings, however, either require a large number of microplates, are prone to cross-contaminations and are limited to adherent cells (cell microarrays), or are not compatible with adherent cells as well as with spatial indexing (drople ...

A modular micro nuclear magnetic resonance in vivo platform for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (NMCEL)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

"Using state-of-the-art microsystems simulation, design and micro-engineering, the NMCEL project will result in a highly integrated and modular and low cost platform that is a high throughput micro-fluidic lab-on-a-chip and a sophisticated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detector in one package, suitable for use in a wide-bore commercial NMR magnet. This unique platform targets the controlled in ...

Energy-Efficient Multi-Terabit/s Photonic Interconnects (EnTeraPIC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The rapid growth of data traffic requires radically new approaches for high-speed data transmission to increase the bandwidth and power efficiency by orders of magnitude. The proposed research aims at novel system and device concepts for low-energy high-capacity optical interconnects in data centers. Data rates of 10 Tbit/s and beyond are envisaged by coherent multicarrier transmission. Parametric ...

Combinatorial Patterning of Particles for High Density Peptide Arrays (CombiPatterning)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

We want to use selective laser melting to pattern a substrate with different solid micro particles at a density of 1 million spots per cm2. First, a homogeneous particle layer is deposited on a substrate and a pattern of micro spots of melted matrix is generated by laser radiation. Then, non-melted particles are blown away. Embedded within the particles are different chemically reactive amino acid ...

Designed Plant Breeding by Control of Meiotic Recombination (COMREC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"Agriculture depends on breeding. Breeders try to combining desirable and eliminating unfavourable traits of crop plants. Changes in genetic linkage are based on meiotic recombination. Although techniques for the transfer of single traits have been developed, resulting in genetically modified organisms (GMOs), hardly any effort has been undertaken to control the exchange between parental genomes a ...

Multi-platform remote sensing of isotopologues for investigating the cycle of atmospheric water (MUSICA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

MUSICA aims to understand the atmospheric water cycle and its interplay with climate change applying unique long-term high quality and global remote sensing observations of tropospheric stable water vapour isotopologues. It is well established that water in its various forms plays a dominant role in nearly all aspects of the Earth s climate system. Understanding the full cycle of evaporation, clou ...

Impact of hydrological extremes on alpine karst groundwater resources (IMKA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Karst aquifers supply ca. 25 % of the global population with drinking water. In some European countries and Alpine regions, more than 50 % of the water supply relies on karst groundwater. At the same time, karst aquifers are particularly vulnerable to contamination, because of their hydrogeological characteristics, such as rapid and turbulent flow in a network of conduits and caves. Karst springs ...

Desert Storms - Towards an Improved Representation of Meteorological Processes in Models of Mineral Dust Emission (DESERTSTORMS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

This project aims at revolutionizing the way the emission of mineral dust from natural soils is treated in numerical models of the Earth system. Dust significantly affects weather and climate through its influences on radiation, cloud microphysics, atmospheric chemistry and the carbon cycle via the fertilization of ecosystems. To date, quantitative estimates of dust emission and deposition are hig ...

FUSENET - The European Fusion Education Network (FUSENET)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"This aim of the FUSENET project is the establishment of a European Fusion Education Network (FUSENET) for education in fusion science and technology, as part of a comprehensive package of coordination actions, in order to increase, enhance, and broaden fusion training and education activities in Europe. The project consists of eleven focused work packages, with a total proposed budget of 2,000,00 ...

Single Cooper Pair Electronics (SCOPE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The quantum physics of superconducting circuits will be applied in new ways to realize circuits where the single charge quantum plays the dual role of the flux quantum in classical Josephson junction circuits. Building on the recent advances in superconducting quantum bit circuits, we will theoretically model, design, fabricate and measure a specific set of circuits which probe the little-explore ...

Fusion Energy Materials Science – Coordination Action (FEMaS-CA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

The timely availability of qualified materials for use in fusion power reactors is a necessity for the fast deployment of fusion power. 27 European institutions have joined together in the FEMaS-CA to advance fusion materials science in Europe and in close cooperation with EFDA, the European Fusion Development Agreement. The overarching objective of this Coordination Action is: The FEMaS-CA w ...

Photonic Metamaterials (PHOME)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Metamaterials are composite, man-made materials, composed of sub-wavelength metallic building blocks, which show novel and unique electromagnetic properties, not occurring in natural materials. A particularly important class of such materials is the negative refractive index metamaterials (NIM). NIM have been in the foreground of scientific interest in the last seven years. In 2006-2007 near infra ...
