Soaring demand for energy calls for out of the box thinking in research and design of materials to enable technology far beyond today’s standards. What would be the perfect material for light mater interaction? What if we could utilize natural processes and assemble such a material, monolayer by monolayer with exquisite control over the resulting electronic structure. HeteroPlates will address these challenges using halide perovskite two dimensional nanoplates as building blocks and test beds for these ideas. Metal halide perovskite are exciting the scientific community with high conversion efficiency and ease of device processability. But this is a double edge sword since it deems long term device stability an ongoing challenge, especially where perovskites interface other materials and create heterostructures. Perovskite heterostructures play a crucial role, they influence electronic structure and affect device functionality, efficiency and most importantly stability. It is therefore critical to understand hetero-epitaxial growth and develop methods to create perovskite heterostructures and interfaces in a controlled fashion and characterize them at these length scales. My research program HeteroPlates will employ a bottom-up approach, taking advantage of the natural stability of colloidal 2D nanoplates, their atomically flat surfaces and tendency to self-organize. By means of colloidal synthesis, perovskite will grow, be grown and self -assembled into uniform monolayer controlled heterostructures. Using specially developed characterization methods we will achieve ground breaking control over imaging resolution of heterostructures. These methods will be employed to create Proof-of-concept devices with new functionalities, aiming for translation of knowledge and methodologies garnered from colloidal heterostructures to higher hierarchy devices, serving future generations.

UVC light is the safest, quickest and most effective way to kill disease-causing bacteria and viruses. UVC LEDs are a promising technology which can make chemical-free disinfection possible thanks to their efficiency, long-lasting and compact design. Despite their potential, they remain a niche solution because they face key bottlenecks which prevent them from having a good enough cost-performance (defined as euro/watt) for a consumer market. CrayoNano has developed a completely new UVC LED called SteriLED which will reach these cost-performance targets for the first time, backed by a growing portfolio of market and industry players. We have achieved what leading LED manufacturers have not thanks to our radical new processing technique protected by over 14 patent families. The core technology of SteriLED are core nanowires of the semiconductor AlGaN grown on a substrate of a promising new material, graphene. Thanks to the properties of these two nanomaterials, SteriLED emits 3X more light, has a 3X longer lifetime at one fourth of the costs of standard UVC LEDs. Our strategy to bring SteriLED quickly to the market at the beginning of 2022 is to manufacture them for sales to the OEMs of point of use (POU) water purification devices. SteriLED fits seamlessly into these devices to treat water at the point of consumption to transform them into the most practical, dependable, potent and inexpensive systems on the market. The first successes of SteriLED will be only a stepping stone for its rapid improvement of its cost-performance reduction and its development for new applications from high volume purification systems for water, surface and air disinfection, eliminating the need for thousands of toxic chemicals.

Perceive3D (P3D) has developed a novel navigation system for arthroscopy that uses solely the endoscopic video to perform measurements inside the joints and provide the necessary guidance to the surgeon. Such system will be the first navigation solution that eliminates the need of external optical tracking of camera/tools, or the need of expensive capital equipment for imagiology in the operating room. The navigation is done using the video information only and, based on P3D’s proprietary camera calibration technology and advanced computer vision techniques, and the captured endoscopic image provides all the necessary geometric information. The increase in Minimally Invasive Surgery procedures and number of new surgeons adopting it, along with the associated added complexity in execution and learning curve, is driving the need for technologies to assist the surgeon during execution. This creates a growing need in this fast growing market for practical navigation solutions that reduce time of procedures and increase surgical outcome, with benefits for surgeons and patients. This navigation system will first target two specific procedures: the Antero Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction in knee arthrosocopy, and the removal of Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) in hip arthroscopy. These procedures have been identified as frequent pathologies where a pressing need for assistive systems has been reported. This feasibility study will lead to the elaboration of a business plan, validating the proposed business model (partnership for co-development with licensing) through close interactions with the market using P3D extensive network in the endoscopic medical device industry. During this time we will also approach and engage Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) in the targeted procedures (Knee and Hip) to endorse the technology and we will extend our IP portfolio around this navigation technology.

The goal of the MULTIPROSMM project is to design systems able to present magnetic bistabilities under different stimuli (temperature, magnetic field or light) on an unprecedented large temperature range, i.e. very low temperature with Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) behaviour, intermediate temperature with Light Induced Excited State Trapping (LIESST) and high temperature with SpinCrossOver (SCO). On one hand, as a photography of the energy-splitting of the spectroscopic states, the lanthanide luminescence will be used as a key tool for the understanding of the magnetic properties of lanthanide ions. On the other hand, Circularly Polarized Luminescence (CPL) combines the sensitivity of the luminescence with crucial information on the chiral environment. A step by step synthetic strategy will be used to elaborate molecular systems in which the coexistence of i) SMM and SCO; ii) SMM and CPL and iii) SMM, SCO and CPL are operating. The enhancement of the magnetic properties is needed to step forward towards applications. To reach such optimizations, the quantum regime of the SMM and the internal magnetic field must be vanished playing with the hyperfine coupling and magnetic dilutions. Both isotopic enrichment and shaping (i.e. decoration of both mesoporous silica and nanoparticle surfaces) of the designed systems could allow high magnetic performance in multiple properties SMM. The final result could be a system suitable for very high density data storage on a wide temperature range (from cryogenic to room temperature).

12% of adults suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Despite the fact that it is a serious disease, it goes undiagnosed 80% of the time. The cost of undiagnosed OSA patients is €6,000 per person per year whilst the cost of diagnosed patients is only €2,000 per person per year. Multiplying by around €4,000 that could be saved per diagnosed person, the total savings would be €160 billion/year. Very effective treatment options exist, but the traditional diagnostic infrastructure is neither affordable nor scalable to diagnose this vast number of unidentified sufferers. To this day, the polysomnography is the gold-standard for diagnosing OSA. However, this method is expensive, time-consuming and cannot keep pace with the huge demand. Neoma Labs has developed Sensa: a cost-effective, miniaturized and connected device that has the potential to become the new gold-standard in OSA diagnostic. The unique approach is measuring mandibular movements to assess OSA. The Sensa solution adds a qualitative layer to the quantitative measures, providing consumers with a sense of control over their health-life balance. The OSA diagnostics market is driven by a growing awareness regarding the ill effects of untreated sleep apnea, a large pool of undiagnosed OSA patients as well as emerging technologies. Regarding our revenue model, we are considering a pay-per-use model at €50/screening. With its simplicity and high clinical validation, Sensa will be able to help lower the 80% of OSA patients who go undiagnosed, thereby reducing the costs/burden associated with the disease. With around 408 million adults in the EU, this would mean 49 million people suffer from sleep apnea and 40 million never get diagnosed. Neoma Labs was founded in June 2015 by a team of experts with professional experience in the field of cardio-respiratory and sleep medicine (with previous experiences in Belgian and American companies, both specialized in the field of cardio-respiratory medical instrumentations.

APPFlow will develop Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in innovative research through a focussed training plan centred on flow chemistry, essential for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries in Europe. The training programme and research proposed in APPFlow tackles the problems associated with the production of advanced intermediates en-route to Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) in the pharma-industry. The proposal is aligned with important European research goals outlined in Horizon 2020. Specifically, this research will address areas related to Resource Efficiency, Health, Environment and Nanotechnology. The end goals align with those of the SPIRE 2030 targets and aims, most closely aligned with the goal of ‘a reduction of up to 20% in non-renewable, primary raw material intensity compared to current levels by 2030.’ It comprises of three training sites located in Ireland (1) and the UK (2) and involves multidisciplinary collaboration between academic and industrial partners, each with complementary expertise across a range of disciplines. The programme will train 3 ESRs who will gain state-of-the-art, transferable knowledge in a number of valuable areas such as organic chemistry, catalytic chemistry, chemical engineering, process design and economics. APPFlow will establish long-term collaborations and develop structured research and training relevant to industry and academia and result in highly trained and employable ESRs. At the end of the APPFlow programme, the ESRs will possess a multidimensional perspective to research, enabling them to address problems with a holistic approach. The ESRs will also develop a range of transferable “soft” managerial skills that will widen their potential career opportunities and ability to contribute to a range of different sectors. For example, they will receive business and entrepreneurship mentoring, which will assist them in becoming future business leaders.

To make a machine think like a human we should overcome the tyranny of the deterministic binary logic, inherent to the contemporary electronic circuits. While the realization of this emergent approach has long been suggested as a multi-valued and neuromorphic architecture of the logic units, the problem is that we haven’t discovered a material system that could implement it. Right now, silicon-based transistors can operate as “on” and “off”, so the new materials would have to find to consistently maintain more states and emulate the plasticity and self-organization of neuronal connections. It’s against this background we develop the Consortium within the RISE action “MELON”, involving academic members from EU Member States, France, Netherlands, and Spain, from the partner country, Argentina, and the SME from the associated country, Ukraine, with the objective to develop the innovative materials platform for the realization of the emergent computing circuits. We target three focus areas: (i) to explore novel memristive oxide-based systems on silicon, with history-dependent conductivity, for emulating the neuronal connections in the brain, (ii) to use the nano-scale multiferroic materials, hosting the multistable topological states to realize the multi-valued logic, and (iii) to explore conducting 2D oxide interfaces as both novels 4-points memristive systems and interconnect elements for the computing circuits. The Consortium combines the complementary expertise spanned from fundamental to applied chemistry and physics and from material science to (industrial or modern) nanotechnologies development with the solid interdisciplinary and intersectoral potential for skills transfer, staff exchange, and young researchers' training.

Predicting novel materials with specific desirable properties is a major aim of ab initio computational materials science (aiCMS) and an urgent requirement of basic and applied materials science, engineering and industry. Such materials can have immense impact on the environment and on society, e.g. on energy, transport, IT, medical-device sectors and much more. Currently, however, precisely predicting complex materials is computationally infeasible. NOMAD CoE will develop a new level of materials modelling, enabled by upcoming HPC exascale computing and extreme-scale data hardware. In close contact with the R&D community, including industry, we will • develop exascale algorithms to create accurate predictive models of real-world, industrially-relevant, complex materials; • provide exascale software libraries for all code families (not just selected codes); enhancing today’s aiCMS to take advantage of tomorrow’s HPC computing platforms; • develop energy-to-solution as a fundamental part of new models. This will be achieved by developing novel artificial-intelligence (AI) guided work-flow engines that optimise the modelling calculations and provide significantly more information per calculation performed; • offer extreme-scale data services (data infrastructure, storage, retrieval and analytics/AI); • test and demonstrate our results in two exciting use cases, solving urgent challenges for the energy and environment that cannot be computed properly with today’s hard- and software (water splitting and novel thermoelectric materials); • train the next generation of students, also in countries where HPC studies are not yet well developed. NOMAD CoE is working closely together with POP, and it is synergistically complementary to and closely coordinated with the EoCoE, ECAM, BioExcel and MaX CoEs. NOMAD CoE will push the limits of aiCMS to unprecedented capabilities, speed and accuracy, serving basic science, industry and thus society.
