orbital chern insulators in van der waals moir systems

topological electronic phases manifest fascinating phenomena including electronic transport via topologicallyprotected edge states anomalous responses to external fields and excitations with anyonic statistics harnessing these phenomena in electronic devices will lead to a technological breakthrough the main obstacle to this has been the lack of topological systems that are simultaneously clean versatile robust and highly tunable we argue that the recent discovery of orbital chern insulators oci in graphene moir heterostructures opens an exceptional opportunity to make a leap in our ability to manipulate topological electronic phasesrecently moir superlattices in van der waals materials emerged as a powerful tool to realize correlated electronic phases the exciting discovery of intrinsic quantum anomalous hall effects in graphene moir systems revealed interactiondriven orbital chern insulating states at zero magnetic field unlike in most known magnets the magnetism in ocis arises predominantly from the orbital motion of the electrons rather than their spins endowing them with unique properties remarkably the moir heterostructures hosting ocis could also be gatetuned to superconducting correlated insulating and metallic isospinferromagnetic states which opens unprecedented opportunities for novel devices these unique features of ocis set them apart and warrant their thorough investigationthis proposal aims to establish the fundamental properties of ocis focusing on three key questions i what are the phase diagram isospin order and thermodynamics of ocis ii what is the physics of the chiral edge states and domain walls in ocis iii can strong interactions in flat moir bands lead to fractional quantum anomalous hall effect to address these questions we will apply a combination of complementary experimental techniques to probe electronic transport and thermodynamic properties in highquality graphene moir devices

vimentin intermediate filaments the origin of stretchability and their direct interaction with actin filaments

many cellular processes such as cell shape mechanics and intracellular transport rely on the organization of and interactions between cytoskeletal filaments cfs intermediate filaments ifs are the least studied cfs with little knowledge of their interactions with other cfs particularly actin filaments afs vimentin one of the most abundant members of the if family is upregulated during epithelialtomesenchymal transition and in epithelial cancers its expression is associated with poor prognosis their hierarchical structure gives them great stretchability which aids cells under large deformations however little is known about the deformationinduced unfolding of alpha helices and the parameters that drive it this study focuses on understanding the origin of vimentin if vif stretchability by providing direct visualization of the unfolding of alpha helices within the vifs and transition to beta sheets upon stretching under various conditions interactions of vifs with afs play an important role in cell mechanics and successful mitosis yet if these filaments interact directly is still a matter of debate the proposed project focuses on the interaction between vifs and afs to determine whether they interact directly at the filament level and if so what are the strengths of the interactions and their bindingunbinding rates a combination of approaches and methodologies will be used including in vitro reconstituted filaments optical tweezers tipenhanced raman spectroscopy computer simulation the knowledge gained from this project will help understand crucial physiological and pathological processes the host and supervisor are wellequipped for this project with the supervisors expertise in understanding if mechanics and function as well as interaction between cfs utilizing a multiscale biophysical approach the pf will establish a unique niche in biophysics research and a robust cv for future grant applications and research positions
a new connoisseurship smart ways to detect forgeries

although scientific methods to analyze cultural heritage are being developed rapidly research in the field of forgery detection art created with the intent to deceive is too fragmentary and disciplinebound to face the current scholarly confusion and information overload this project lays the intellectual foundation for a new type of connoisseurship building on the latest developments in technical art history and data science art historians are used to focus on the past and the present this project will allow art experts for the first time to face forward and predict high risks the goal is to first generate fundamental new insights into significant anomalies that betray forged paintings as well as into key characteristics of comparable originals secondly to develop thinslicing tools ie computer programs and checklists that help to quickly and effectively select potential forgeries for indepth analysis and ultimately to give connoisseurship a new reach and relevance through the novel integrated approach to assess categorize and interpret paintings despite the great importance of connoisseurship for art history providing the basic classification of who created what and when information essential for virtually all interpretative studies in this field its methodology has not kept abreast with innovative multidisciplinary approaches to collaboration among experts in different fields of inquiry the 21st century has witnessed major breakthroughs in thinking about authenticity within art history the scientific methods and technical means to examine artworks have improved tremendously and data science and data visualization techniques allow us to think on an unprecedented scale building on classified research for the french ministry of justice two recent dutch research council nwo projects and extensive experience i am in a unique position to forge effective multidisciplinary collaborations and spearhead this project
