This interdisciplinary cooperation project deals with an important, but hitherto neglected chapter at the crossing of technical and cultural history, the rescue campain (1905-1926) of one of the most outstanding buildings of the European Gothic period – the Strasbourg cathedral. It was initiated by

Acoufollow – freezing induced xylem dysfunction and repair Freezing stress is the main factor setting plant distribution at high latitude and elevation. Climate change will not only lead to changes in precipitation patterns and earlier snow melt but also to more climate extremes, which may cause i

The magnetic state of a surface can be analyzed by a plethora of methods available. When it comes to two-dimensional systems, however, conventional methods typically do not possess the possibility to resolve a magnetic signal from the topmost surface layer from the material underneath. With the proj

The aim of the proposed Austrian-French joint project "Arithmetic Randomness" (Aléa arithmétique, Zahlen und Zufall) is to make progress on various important open conjectures and questions in analytic, metric, probabilistic and additive number theory. All problems address random-like phenomena in ar

Non-reciprocal microwave components such as circulators, isolators, and phase shifters are invaluable tools in both today’s communication systems, and future quantum computers. The ability to inhibit signal flow in one direction while allowing it in the reverse direction plays a crucial role for eit

RNArrays - The Next Generation There is a need for a method that allows for a large-scale, yet precise mutational analysis of functional RNA molecules. Having control over the actual sequences to be synthesized also offers the prospect of the preparation of RNA libraries for third-generation sequ

Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) is a flagellated protist responsible for tropical diseases. This organism is also an important cellular tool to study the generic organization and function of organelles, structures and cellular processes common to other pathogenic trypanosomatids such as T. cruzi resp

Foldable and rollable electronic displays as well as wearable sensors are almost a reality for consumers. The main technological obstacle is manufacturing these innovative devices to be unbreakable. Devices, such as the Samsung foldable phone, need to be mechanically and electrically durable for 100

Abandonment of less productive grasslands in European mountains leads to colonization by shrubs, which climate change is expected to further favour. These changes in plant biodiversity and associated biota profoundly alter grassland biogeochemical functioning and ecosystem services (ES). LUCSES aims

Research Context: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease with complex etiopathology linked to abnormal inflammatory pathways, and dysbiotic colonization by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The microbial dysbiosis is related to failure in expressing antimicrobial peptides (AMP
