Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation. However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis. The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth. In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen. Overall, our aim is to introduce the ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Tungsten is a strategic resource crucial to a wide range of industries due to its unique physical properties, especially for the production of alloys and carbides. World tungsten supply is currently somewhat volatile owing to the market domination by a single nation (China), as well as recently imposed export quotas that contribute to market instability. The disappearance of EU tungsten would resu ...

"Hot aqueous fluids are key agents in geological transport processes in the Earth’s crust, redistributing geothermal heat as well as dissolved components. Thereby, they become alternative energy resources, create valuable mineral deposit and fundamentally control the composition of the oceans. To quantitatively understand these geochemical processes requires an accurate method to evaluate the ther ...

Granite-related hydrothermal veins typically have high ore grades and tonnages and thus are an excellent target in the search for such commodities as tin, tungsten, silver, copper and many other metals.Although the geology of these deposits is well described, a considerable debate persists about key issues related to their genesis, such as the timing of fluid separation from crystallizing magmas, ...
