Magnetism at the time and length scale of the Exchange interaction (EXCHANGE)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

"The aim of EXCHANGE is to achieve a breakthrough in the understanding of magnetism and magnetic phase transitions on the time and length scale of the exchange interaction, the strongest force in magnetism. This will be achieved by developing and applying novel, beyond the state-of-the-art femtosecond X-ray and picosecond THz techniques, in combination with laboratory based ultrafast optical techn ...

Nonequilibrium phenomena at femtosecond/nanometer scale (FEMTO/NANO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"Nanoscale objects like magnetic molecules and clusters, quantum dots, and graphene, bring us novel physical concepts. Recently, the temporal scale of the order of tens of femtoseconds (femtoscale) became available and new physical phenomena associated with this time scale, such as laser-induced electron and magnetic phase transitions, were discovered. The theoretical background for understanding ...

Molecular Billiards in Slow Motion (MOLBIL)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

"It is a long held dream of chemical physicists to study (and ultimately control!) the interactions between individual molecules in completely specified collisions. This project brings this goal within reach. I will develop a novel crossed molecular beam scattering apparatus in which precise control over the molecules prior to the collision is obtained, and in which the scattering products are det ...

Interaction phenomena in novel materials (InterNoM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Recent progress in electronics has largely been associated with controlled fabrication of low-dimensional nanostructures, so there is much interest in the transport, materials, photonic and plasmonic properties of small electronic nanodevices. Further technological breakthrough is expected by implementing novel materials such as magnetic semiconductors, carbon-based nanostructures and materials w ...

Investigation of local and global cortical circuits with advanced neural probes for high-resolution electrophysiological monitoring and optogenetic stimulation (NeuroSeeker)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Most cognitive functions are based on computations that take place in the cerebral cortex, composed of a larger number of areas, each with a complex anatomical structure, with neurons of different types and in different layers interacting according to a precise scheme. The anatomical organization of cortical areas is similar, with some modulation according to its sensory, motor or associative func ...

Neural Engineering Transformative Technologies (NETT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"Neural Engineering is an inherently new discipline that coalesces engineering, physics and neuroscience for the design and development of brain–computer interface systems, cognitive computers and neural prosthetics. For the implementation of future transformative technologies a new breed of young researchers must be trained to integrate ideas and skills from a broad range of disciplines.NETT is c ...

DEvelopment of a System of Indicators for a Resource efficient Europe (DESIRE) (DESIRE)

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

"DESIRE will develop and apply an optimal set of indicators to monitor European progress towards resource-efficiency. We propose a combination of time series of environmentally extended input output data (EE IO) and the DPSIR framework to construct the indicator set. Only this approach will use a single data set that allows for consistent construction of resource efficiency indicators capturing th ...

Kinetics in Soft Molecular Layers - from interstellar ices to polymorph control (KISMOL)

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

This project centers around the investigation of molecular mobility in solid layers by a truly multidisciplinaryapproach: combining the expertise from crystal growth, astrophysics, and chemistry. We aim toanswer long standing questions in the context of two cross-disciplinary applications: the formation andevolution of interstellar ices and the solid state transition from one crystal structure — p ...

Femtosecond Laser Control of Spins in Magnetic Materials: from fundamentals to nanoscale dynamics (FEMTOMAGNETISM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The aim of the project is to develop femtosecond optical control of magnetism: a new area at the junction of coherent nonlinear optics, near-field optics and magnetism. In particular, I am aiming to investigate nonthermal effects of light on magnetic order and to apply this knowledge for highly efficient ultrafast (10-12 seconds and faster) optical control of magnetism at the nanoscale.The ever in ...

Exploring the neural coding in behaving animals by novel optogenetic, high-density microrecordings and computational approaches: Towards cognitive Brain-Computer Interfaces (ENLIGHTENMENT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

In this project we aim to investigate the mechanisms involved in memory storage in the brain by a combination of advanced multisite, single unit neural activity monitoring, closed-loop patterned and cell specific activations, and computational techniques, that would allow developing ways to stimulate brain networks in an activity-driven fashion. Combining neuroscience, neuroengineering and computa ...

Catalysis at the Nanoscale (NANOCAT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Is it possible to really 'see' individual molecules in action as they are involved in a chemical reaction at a surface? And can we, in this way, get a complete understanding of reaction mechanisms, at the resolution of atoms? The importance of studying chemical reactions at surfaces has recently been highlighted by Gerhard Ertl being awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2007, for elucidating me ...

"Mechanistic modelling of Critical Target Tissue Residues based on substance properties, species characteristics and external effect concentrations" (MEMOCTR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"A key challenge facing environmental risk assessors is the need to assess the risk of thousands of chemicals, for a wide range of species, with increased accuracy and ecological relevance, while using fewer resources and experimental animals. Traditional external toxicity metrics, such as the lethal aqueous concentration (LC50), are not sufficiently sophisticated to accomplish this task, and “new ...
