Pattern formation and mineral self-organization in highly alkaline natural environments (PROMETHEUS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2019,

The precipitation of alkaline-earth carbonates in silica-rich alkaline solutions yields nanocrystalline aggregates that develop non-crystallographic morphologies. These purely inorganic hierarchical materials, discovered by the IP of this project, form under geochemically plausible conditions and closely resemble typical biologically induced mineral textures and shapes, thus the name ‘biomorphs’. ...

Silicon nanocrystals coated by photoactive molecules: a new class of organic-inorganic hybrid materials for solar energy conversion (PHOTOSI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) have gained much attention in the last few years because of their remarkable optical and electronic properties, compared to bulk silicon. These unique properties are due to quantum confinement effects and are thus strongly dependent on the nanocrystal size, shape, surface functionalization and presence of defects.The aim of the present project is the coupling of SiNCs ...

Structure and dynamics of biomolecules by two-dimensional ultraviolet spectroscopy (STRATUS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

"Two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance is a diagnostic technique that has revolutionized structural biology. A wealth of spectroscopic information can be obtained by extrapolating 2D techniques to the optical frequency domain, using ultrashort light pulses. 2D electronic spectroscopy (2DES) allows fundamentally new insights into the structure and dynamics of multi-chromophore systems, by ...

Lanthanide Dendrimer-Polymer Hybrids (LN-DENDRI-POLS)

Start date: Jun 7, 2011, End date: Oct 16, 2014,

"Organic complexes of lanthanides are enjoying a renaissance due to their increased commercial usage (eg. in lighting/display devices, as MRI contrast agents, as luminescent markers for bioassay). However, considerable challenges remain to overcome the low absorbance of Ln(III) cations and limited luminescent performance of emitters in the Near-Infra Red (NIR).This project will characterise lantha ...

Nano- Electrospun Filter for Efficient Liberation & Encapsulation of acticides for water treatment in transportation applications (NEFELE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"In recent years, word of aircraft water quality issues has spread, generating negative media coverage, attracting the attention of regulators worldwide, and giving airline passengers a new cause for concern. Health enforcement agencies are currently in the process of drafting new, more stringent quality regulations for aircraft potable water and the world's other regulators will follow suit.Aircr ...

Bio-Orthogonal Chemo-Specific Ligation (BioChemLig)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The Post-genomic era calls for a deep understanding of protein structure and function. The elucidation of protein structures, localization, post-translation modifications, and protein-macromolecule interactions are important to establish their role in the biology of the cell. To establish their role and investigate the protein functions requires the integration of various complementary disciplines ...
