MAD Control Project by Ioana Slabu
Magnetically controlled on-demand drug release from biodegradable scaffolds for life-changing therapies. Drug-eluting biodegradable medical devices that “vanish inside you after the job is done” are a radical innovation in regenerative medicine, cancer treatment and cardiovascular therapies. The goal of such devices is to ensure therapy at the right place, at the right time and…
MOWLIT Project by Helen Fulton
MOWLIT: Mapping the March: Medieval Wales and England, c. 1282–1550 The overarching objective of MOWLIT is to produce the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of the literary and manuscript culture of the medieval March of Wales. This is a region which has been less studied than almost any area of the British Isles in…
UNIMAB Project by Giulio Cossu
Towards a new cell therapy for muscular dystrophy Muscular dystrophies are heterogeneous diseases, characterized by primary wasting of skeletal muscle. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common muscular dystrophy and the second most common monogenic disorder, affecting 1/5000 newborn males. DMD is a severe disease, leading to wheelchair dependency, cardiac and respiratory failure, and…
The AUTOSHIP project: speeding-up the transition towards a next generation of autonomous ships in the EU
the EU-funded AUTOSHIP project built and demonstrated two self-navigating ships as prototypes for a fleet of next-generation, fully-autonomous vessels.
FINDME Project by Felix Tropf
Finding the ‘missing environmentality’ FINDME Explaining and predicting individual outcomes in a social population The wish to understand, explain and predict human behaviour and outcomes is a central goal in (social) sciences. Since the 1980s, empirical social research aimed to increase the credibility of their explanatory statements advancing methods for statistical causal analysis, in…

NAHID TALEBI Q-SORT Women in Science Series Lectures Link to original article Nahid Talebi is a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart. Her research focuses on investigating near-field-enhanced electron-photon interactions using slow and fast electron microscopes. Her main interests include advancing the time-resolved electron microscopy methodologies and in-depth…
Press release: Nanobeam appear in Nature Physics:
New analysis method developed for nano and quantum materials Eva Sittig Press, Communications and Marketing , Kiel University Using electron microscopy to create ultrafast movies of nano-processes A slow-motion movie on sports television channels shows processes in hundredths of a second. By contrast, processes on the nanoscale take place in the so-called femtosecond range: For example, an…
