strain engineering to design functional 4d polymorphism in nanostructured materials

it is often easy to observe the ability of polymorphic materials to undergo a phase transition through changes in colour conductivity photovoltaic efficiency or other functional properties in contrast it is challenging to control under which external stimulistress temperature adsorptionthese materials switch yet enabling such polymorphic material design would be a game changer for pressing societal challenges from access to drinkable water to producing green energy this requires a firm understanding of how changing a materials structure impacts its polymorphism and macroscopic functionin strainswitch i aim to transform polymorphic material design by establishing the strain engineering concept the central characteristic in my in silico approach is strain the extent to which a material deforms due to external or internal triggers on the one hand external stimuli generate strain even before they activate a phase transition on the other spatial disorder in a structure tuneable from the atom to the device scale also induces strain that interferes with external strain fields my key hypothesis is that it is possible to systematically predict which disorder is needed to ensure polymorphism only occurs under welldefined external triggers by balancing these internal and external strain fieldsto confirm this hypothesis i will develop new in silico methods with the goal to i understand how disorder induces strain fields in a material that propagate through both space 3d and time 1d to enable 4d designii predict which internal strain fields activate a materials polymorphism under specific external stimuliin strainswitch i will combine both goals to establish fundamental disorderstrainfunction relationships that can be validated experimentally for metalorganic frameworks and metal halide perovskites they will pave the way for 4d polymorphic material design with application in water harvesting photovoltaic devices and more

validation of a novel device for realtime longterm measurement of cellular forces

the conventional thinking in cell biology which often assumes that cells communicate mostly via biochemical signalling has recently been challenged with several examples where mechanical rather than chemical cues play an important role in development physiology and disease biological cells continually exert forces on their environment which can vary substantially in magnitude spatial distribution and temporal evolution these forces are key to many processes including cell growth tissue formation wound healing and the invasion of cancer cells into healthy tissue understanding how cellular forces affect the microenvironment hinges on our ability to image them with sufficient local and temporal resolution eg continuously over several days with subcellular spatial resolution adequate field of view eg to study cell sheets and relevant sensitivity typical forces are in the pico to nano newton range despite significant advances made in this area of functional bioimaging over the last years existing methods still struggle to meet the requirements thus precluding new commercial opportunities in cell biomechanics cellforce will demonstrate elastic resonator interference stress microscopy erism as a new microscopy method that allows direct robust and nondestructive imaging of forces associated with various mechanical cellsubstrate interactions and validate its commercial feasibility the greatly increased sensitivity offered by erism over other methods allows for accurate measurements of vertical forces and of cells exerting only weak force moreover with a low light intensity requirement and no need to detach cells after a measurement using erism makes it possible to take longterm measurements of multiple cells without photodamage and facilitates downstream applications such as immunostaining this will open up new commercial opportunities in fundamental research drug development and longterm in diagnostics

from dale arden to valentina americanisation and gender representation in italian comics 19341965

comics are a powerful means through which american values reached italy in the 1930s and became part of its culture with their formative potential influence on younger readers and wide distribution comics provide a unique line of enquiry for exploring cultural changes as both a reflection of and a contributor to such changes my project explores the evolution of italian comics from the 1930s to the 1960s focusing on gender discourse and transnational exchange to offer a novel perspective on modern italianculture by examining comics in the fascist era the postwar era and the economic boom era itacomics examines the impact of the american model in shaping italian comics and assesses their impact in gender representation while taking into account the sociopolitical context which influenced comics production this approach will show how such cultural dialogue produced a crosscultural product that reflected transnational influences and contributed to shaping the italian popular imaginary italys peculiar political history enables me to use comics to examine how society developed from an authoritarian regime to democracy from a perspective still largely unexplored the project examines popular comics in italy in the years between 1934 when the first american adventure comics were published and 1965 when valentina appeared a femalefocused comic that revolutionised the image of womanhood portrayed in comics this analysis highlights changes in italian culture and society and challenges the centrality of american comics in the englishspeaking scholarship by posing broader questions about interconnected cultures showing how cultural specificities coexist with foreign models and how foreign gender models adapt to a specific context my research project will provide groundbreaking perspectives on comics reinterpretation and incorporation of american culture in the italian context showing how the two cultures are deeply intertwined
timing the evolution of the dissimilatory sulfur cycle a bridge between genes and geochemistry

earths biogeochemical sulfur cycle is driven by various microbial dissimilatory processes that couple sulfur redox transformations with energy conservation these dissimilatory sulfur metabolisms are catalysed by a linked suite of enzymatic machineries composed largely of multimeric protein complexes over geological timescales the sulfurcycling machineries have coopted to create a dissimilatory metabolic network at planetary scale which has had tremendous consequences on the earths major biogeochemical cycles surface redox states and climate stability the advent and expansion of sulfurcycling machineries thus represent milestones in the multibillionyear history of earth and life yet the timing of the onset of diverse dissimilatory sulfur metabolisms and their interplay with sulfur geochemistry remain generally unconstrained due to the rarity of microbial fossils and ambiguity of ancient stable isotope signatures the research proposed herein will explore the origin and evolution of dissimilatory sulfur metabolisms by leveraging genomes of uncultivated bacteria and archaea from metagenomes advances in molecular clock and quantitative evolutionary models and extensive compilations of sedimentary sulfur isotope records a novel combination of largescale comparative phylogenetic analyses and geochemical data will 1 derive expanded phylogenies for a comprehensive set of genes encoding full repertoires of dissimilatory metabolisms of inorganic and organic sulfur compounds including uncharted sequences from new genomes
