Time-scale bridging potentials for realistic molecular dynamics simulations (TIME-BRIDGE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2020,

The possibility to produce materials with ultra-strengths could revolutionize materials design. Since 80 years ultra-strength materials are known to exist only theoretically. Now, new experiments show that traditional believe can be overcome by nanostructured design. Yet, while selected experiments point towards this scientifically fascinating and technologically important possibility (e.g., for a ...

Designing novel smart sensor interfaces based on a biologically abundant peptide motif: coiled-coils (smartCC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2017, End date: May 31, 2019,

Smart interfaces alter their properties in response to an external trigger. Such devices open exciting opportunities for novel technologies with manifold applications. Electrical fields pose easily controllable triggers for smart interfaces and even allow a precise 'digital' switching between 'on' and 'off' states. The research project ‘smartCC’ will employ a biologically abundant class of biomacr ...

AlGaInN materials on semi-polar templates for yellow emission in solid state lighting applications (ALIGHT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

With up to 20% of electrical energy being consumed by lighting, it is important to use this energy wisely. Replacing the inefficient light generation technologies of today with solid state lighting based on gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting diodes (LEDs) will enable us to reduce this 20% to 10% or even 5%. However, several factors need to be addressed to accelerate the uptake of this emerging ...
