thermal management for the hybrid electric regional aircraft

the thema4hera project takes on the huge challenge of onboard thermal management that comes with the introduction of hybrid electric power and propulsion systems in regional and short and medium range aircraft this will be achieved through development design and testing at trl 5 of wide range of innovative technologies from air supply to air conditioning systems thermal management to cabin air distribution whereas todays thermal management systems need to handle a heat dissipation of about 3550kw tomorrows hybrid electric regional aircraft will have to handle heat dissipation in the range of 300 to 1000kw with a consortium composed out of all key aerospace players in the market of thermal management this project will address almost all currently known thermal management technologies multiple twoway interactions loops with tra01 will be established integration requirements and feedback constraints and validation results to allow for further aircraft architecture optimization iterations through the development of a full digital twin the project will be able to simulate and optimize component level requirements for any given aircraft architecture this architecture will be taken from the exact project adjusted and refined throughout the project to eventually reflect the final hybrid electric aircraft architecture the project will validate and demonstrate its results in a fullscale demonstration test facility at fraunhofer ibp with the further refined models that will be available by then the project will also be able to calculate the achievements towards the expected outcomes in particular the environmental footprint the communication dissemination and exploitation actions will make sure that all necessary stakeholders will also be supportive to the eis of the first hybrid electric regional aircraft relying on thema4hera thermal management technologies

allinone supramolecular approach as an innovative antiinfectious strategy

despite the large therapeutic arsenal available to fight bacterial infections the development of new antiinfectious strategies is a major public health concern pathogens have indeed developed a variety of multi drug resistance mechanisms to escape destruction to circuvment these problems a few promising alternatives have been proposed a first one focuses on the bacterial adhesion step to the host cells which involves multivalent interactions between the glycocalix and bacterial adhesins molecular constructs displaying clusters of carbohydrates have been shown to efficiently compete with these complex recognition processes thus having the potential to prevent this key step of the bacterial infection the recruitment of natural antibodies nabs present in the human bloodsteam against biological targets to stimulate their destruction by the immune system is another alternative to fight pathogens this approach is based on the utilization of bimodal molecules namely args antibody recruiting glycodendrimers which are composed of two recognition domains one for nabs and one for receptors expressed by the pathogen the potential of this recruiting strategy was demonstrated recently in the pis team in the context of cancers where nabs have been efficiently redirected against tumors erc cog lego and erc poc theralego for the first time patholego will take advantage of these two antiadhesive and recruitment strategies simultaneously to fight resistant strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa we aim at developing hybrid args that will block extracellular process that p aeruginosa uses to infect host cells on the one hand and that will redirect nabs against the bacteria to induce their immunemediated clearance on the other hand with this unprecedented approach we will be able to both prevent infection and kill the targeted resistant bacteria to optimize the antibacterial effect
exploring timedependent memory effects in matter with viscoelastic snapthrough of strips

memory is crucial in living organisms and computers but is also a hallmark of complex materials such as crumpled paper glasses or sheared foams memory manifests itself in a stunning variety and is central both in fundamental research and for applications ageing adaptive matter programmable matter a new picture based on novel theoretical concepts related to the pathways of transitions between metastable states recently appeared and lead to a flurry of activity but so far this work focused mostly on quasistatic memory effects where the duration of the input does not matter yet timedependent memory effects are encountered in many complex systems and their microscopic origin is often unclear i therefore propose to study timedependent memory and pathways in a model mechanical system explicitly tailored to exhibit timedependent memory while allowing direct observations and manipulations specifically i will use viscoelastic thin strips that can toggle via a snapthrough instability between two states as a basic building block to create systems with emergent timedependent memory this project provides the key to experimentally probe and reveal the mechanisms of timedependent memory in matter as well as to design and create systems with complex programmable pathways i divide my project in three work packageswp1 first i will study the snapping of viscoelastic strips that will constitute the basic elements of this model systemwp2 next i will assemble several of these strips to monitor the emergence of timedependent memory effects and study both theirglobal aspects and pathways of transitionswp3finally i will aim to control timedependent memory and design complex systems with predefined pathwaysleveraging the versatility and experimental accessibility of model mechanical in this project i propose to use instabilities in viscoelastic strips to explore understand and control the emergence of time dependent memory effects in matter
nanoconfinement effects from capacitors to catalysis

the societal transformation to renewable energy necessitates more efficient ways to store energy this can be achieved by direct energy storage in batteries or supercapacitors scs or by using electrocatalysis to convert energy eg to green hydrogen the efficiency of such processes can be enhanced by increasing the surface of the electrode increase of the surface can be achieved by introducing pores into the electrodes however in recent years the porosity has reached the nanometre scale at this scale the pores become so small that the interfacial layer known as doublelayer as well as ions at the surface are confined in nanoc3 we aim to understand the effect of confinement of ions and of the doublelayer on charge storage and hydrogen production for this purpose we will analyze materials with unprecedented control of the pore size provided from collaborations with material scientists using innovative surface science techniques these measurements are enabled by the expertise of the er in microcalorimetry and of the host institution in spectroscopy and electrocatalysis to study confinement of the doublelayer gold electrodes with tuneable slits will be provided by serge lemay twente nl gold is a wellstudied model electrode to investigate the doublelayer and hydrogen evolution allowing for comparison of the results with literature data theoretical calculations will be performed by alexei kornyshev imperial college ukto obtain the even smaller pore sizes necessary to study ion confinement mos2 and v2o5 electrodes will be provided by s fleischmann kit ger these layered materials can be tuned by intercalating molecular pillars leading to an increase of the interlayer spacing mos2 can be used to substitute the expensive pt in the hydrogen evolution while v2o5 is a wellresearched sc exhibiting ion confinementin summary the goal of nanoc3 is to advance the field of electrocatalysis in a new and yet unexplored direction
positive geometries in the real world

our understanding of the fundamental laws of nature is based on the study of scattering amplitudes traditionally computed using feynman diagramsin the past three decades the shortcomings of this representation have become increasingly clear scattering amplitudes enjoy a simplicity which is destroyed by feynman diagrams resulting in an overwhelming apparent complexity of computationsthis has motivated the search for alternatives to feynman diagrams which culminated in the discovery that scattering amplitudes in two toy theories maximally supersymmetric yangmills theory and the simplest theory describing colored scalars can be computed as volumes of positive geometries regions in kinematic space carved out by inequalitiesin the new representation it is the usual properties kept manifest by feynman diagrams locality and unitarity which are now obscured while the simplicity of scattering amplitudes is restoredthese developments are both conceptually intriguing and practically useful
