Electric Control of Magnetization Dynamics (ECOMAGICS)

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

In this proposal a new electric field based approach for the control of magnetization dynamics is discussed. The advantage of using electric fields compared to magnetic fields is twofold: (i) electric fields are easy to confine in nano-structures (screening), and (ii) no current flow is required which may allow for the development of new spintronic devices with ultra low power consumption.Physical ...

Enhanced plant productivity through control of lifespan (CROPLIFE)

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

The world-wide demand for primary plant products to be used for food, feed and fuel is increasing dramatically. The foreseen climate changes are expected to have a negative impact on plant productivity in addition. Future agriculture urgently needs new crop plant varieties with enhanced and sustainable productivity. To meet this challenge, “CropLife” focuses on leaf lifespan as a major determinant ...

European Science and Technology in Action Building Links with Industry, Schools and Home (ESTABLISH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The aim of ESTABLISH is to facilitate and implement an inquiry based approach in the teaching and learning of science and technology across Europe, mainly focussed, through the collaborative actions of the consortium, on appropriate teacher education and support using trialled and tested resource material particularly suited to inquiry based teaching. Inquiry based teaching methodologies are encou ...

Biaxial Nematic Devices (BIND)

Start date: Feb 7, 2008, End date: Feb 6, 2012,

The recent experimental discovery of novel biaxial liquid crystal (LC) phases is a major breakthrough in functional materials and presents a challenge to develop the technology for a new generation of faster biaxial LC displays. These expectations are based on the existence of a secondary director that can be controlled by external fields. However, to be put in practice, this new possibility requi ...
