Present and pAst weathering fLuxes from tropicAl Volcanic islAndS – PALAVAS
Over geological time scales chemical weathering of silicate rocks is the largest sink of global atmospheric CO2. Weathering of volcanic islands has been suggested to constitute a substantial fraction
Causes and consequences of tumor heterogeneity – CauseHet
Cancers are heterogeneous diseases. Variations in tumor composition, gene expression, and response to environmental changes are key factors in cancer progression, while hampering scientific efforts to
Towards orbitronics function in transition-metal-oxide heterostructures: a novel paradigm in oxide electronics – ORBIFUN
This project aims at unlocking the potentialities of the orbital-physics of Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs), establishing the basis for novel orbitronics function. The principal aspiration of this prom
Learning and Control of Sensorimotor Models in Robotics – NIMBLE
The limited agility and dexterity of modern robots prevent them from being deployed outside of laboratories, not even mentioning outside of factories. With NIMBLE, we want to point the classical sense
The evolution of despotic societies in mammals – DESPOT
Social hierarchies limit conflicts between the members of a group by regulating their access to resources; as a result, the social rank in the hierarchy affects nearly every aspect of an individual’s
The role of lipids in mediating the spatiotemporal coordination of cytokinesis in Arabidopsis – DivFUSE
In plants, patterning by cell division relies on division plane establishment, on the biogenesis of a membrane compartment called the cell plate, and on cell plate insertion at the division site. It i
Quantum dynamics in topological states of matter – DQMT
Advances in material physics and recent progress in experimental techniques has offered ac-cess to novel quantum states of matter together with an unprecedented precision and control in preparation an
Molecular switch in nanostructured hybrid materials for neuromorphic learning – MOMA
Artificial neural networks inspired by the functioning of the brain (so-called “neuromorphic”) offer great hope for improving computing possibilities. In order to draw conceptual parallels with the de
Magnetic bound states in 2D superconductors – MagSta2D
Exchange coupling of magnetic adsorbates on superconductors induces Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. These decay rapidly on a three-dimensional superconductor. In contrast, a two-dimensional superconduc
Data-driven hybrid hydrological models: revisiting the role of river basins as information providers for a better assessment of risks and water resources – DRHYM
Hydrological models which represent the catchment behaviour in transforming climate inputs into streamflow and other hydrological variables are still of limited efficiency, in spite of long terms effo
