user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Conformational dynamics of single molecules under force' (FORCEPROT).

assistant: **Concept**

The long term aim of this proposal is to decipher the molecular mechanisms by which proteins equilibrate under the effect of a constant stretching force. We will use the newly developed single molecule force-clamp spectroscopy technique to elucidate, with exquisite sub-Ǻngström sensitivity, the dynamics of proteins as they unfold, collapse and refold in response to a mechanical force. We will first examine the conformational dynamics of a single refolding protein during its individual folding trajectory from highly extended states. In particular, we will focus on the characterization of the newly discovered ensemble of collapsed states that hold the key to explaining how an extended polypeptide folds while regaining its mechanical stability. We will expand this novel methodology to study the collapsed conformations of the amyloid forming proteins α-synuclein, which causes Parkinson’s disease, Aβ42, responsible for Alzheimer’s disease, and γD-crystallin, which triggers the cataracts in the eye lens. While current studies have mainly focused on the mechanisms of bulk aggregation and amyloid formation, an emerging consensus is that conformational diseases originate at the single molecule level, when an innocuous monomer undergoes a structural transition into a toxic β-sheet conformation. The uncanny ability of single molecule techniques to observe the acquisition of rare misfolded conformations will help establish mechanistic paradigms for developing a unified molecular scale understanding of the origins of these diseases. Finally, we will use our force-clamp assay to examine how force affects the chemical mechanisms of disulfide bond reduction in proteins exposed to mechanical forces. Within a multidisciplinary approach, here we propose a series of innovative experiments

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Merger of Electronics and Photonics Using Silicon Based Technologies' (MEPHISTO) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The overall aim of MEPHISTO is to develop a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based hybrid integration platform (optical motherboard", OMB) for implementing optical subsystems encompassing optical, optoelectronic and electronic functions. Such a comprehensive hybridised integration will be a key technology to meet the demands of increasing compactness and complexity, mass production, cost reduction, and reliability of future optical components to be used in photonic networks, but also for other emerging areas like sensor and microsystems technologies, and in particular optical interconnects in high-speed VLSI electronics. It is unlikely that in the foreseeable future such complex integrated subsystems will rely on a fully monolithic integration approach due to inherent drawbacks with respect to overall performance and yield. SOI material will be employed as integration platform because it offers a number of distinct advantages over competing materials (silica-on-silicon, polymers or silicon-oxynitride), both technically and economically. Compared to previous developments in this field the target of the MEPHISTO project takes the concepts of optical motherboards much further, involving the hybridisation of the active III-V components with sophisticated silicon optical circuits which will comprise arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) and variable optical attenuators (VOA), and the integration of Si VLSI electronics. More specifically, the goals of MEPHISTO are to study and develop crucial, innovative enabling technologies and building blocks for realizing advanced SOI based OMB subsystems. These will be used in particular to implement "proof-of-concept" integrated dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transmitter components for C-band wavelength (1535-1565 nm) operation inco

user: Describe how 'Towards a new generation of soft and conformable acoustic devices based on electroactive polymers' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The project operates in the key European research area of enabling technologies based on Advanced Materials. It deals with a class of smart electroactive polymers, called dielectric elastomers (DEs), which can be promisingly employed to develop soft low-cost electrostatic machines able to respond to electrical stimuli with high deformations and large actuation bandwidth. In the field of acoustics, DEs might enable the development of new loudspeakers in which the vibrating diaphragm and the actuator are combined into a soft membrane that can be adapted to arbitrary shapes or integrated into wearable textile structures. This project will develop radically new DE acoustic diaphragms exploiting the paradigms of distributed surface actuation (DSA) and self-sensing. DSA will allow a regulation of diaphragms vibrations via localised excitation of the active surface, allowing a fine control of the acoustic response. Self-sensing will allow DE devices to work both as sound generation sources and sound pressure sensors, opening new perspectives in the field of active noise control and acoustic characterisation of environments.    Theoretical background on continuum vibrations in DE membranes will be first developed through modelling and experimental investigation with high-end laser vibrometry equipment. Multi-physics models of the acoustic-structure interaction of the DE diaphragms will be set-up. Diaphragms with DSA will be deployed through the segmentation of the active DE surface into arrays of independently-controlled portions via screen printing techniques. Algorithms for self-sensing of the vibrations generated by electrical or acoustic signals will be developed, which rely on simple electrical measurements of the active areas electrical variables.  Finally, a prototype of

user: Describe how 'Tailored Quantum Structures' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Self-assembled semiconductor quantum structures are the subject of world-wide interest because of their potential use in quantum information technologies and nanoscale optoelectronics. This project will advance this field by obtaining nanoscale movies of III-V quantum structure formation. This will be achieved by establishing a € 1 million Low Energy Electron Microscope (LEEM) which is the only instrument in the world capable of obtaining nanoscale movies of compound semiconductor growth under arsenic flux. The understanding gained from this work will facilitate a new level of control over specific quantum features for device applications.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Speciation genomics in a wild bird populations' (SPECIATIONGENOMICS) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The field of speciation lies at the heart of evolutionary biology and is the driving force behind biodiversity. Nevertheless, many central questions regarding speciation remain unsolved. However, recent advances in the development of molecular genetic tools open novel ways to approach the core assumptions of models on speciation. The aim of this research plan is to take advantage of this broad range of available new tools to investigate mechanisms of speciation using a natural hybrid zone where collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis) and pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypolecua) interbreed. This is a unique system and the collared flycatcher in particular is an emerging model species for studies on multivariate evolution, speciation and avian genomics. Our goal is to identify the molecular genetic basis of traits that are involved in reproductive isolation in this system and thus provide novel insights into the process in which new species are formed.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Robust Econometrics of Games in IO' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

REGIO develops advanced econometric methods to identify and estimate economic fundamentals in games played by firms, addressing a broad spectrum of real-world industrial organization scenarios. These methods bridge critical gaps where existing techniques fall short and provide a disciplined framework to relax less credible assumptions about firm behavior and the game environment, enabling researchers to draw robust empirical conclusions. Their effectiveness is demonstrated through applications, supporting strategies to ensure fair competition, consumer protection, and a clearer understanding of distributional impacts and inequality. To achieve these goals, REGIO is structured around four pillars. Pillars 1 through 3 focus on designing identification and inference methods that remain robust to misspecification by imposing minimal restrictions on firm behavior and the game environment. By crafting new tools based on partial identification, these pillars tackle theoretical challenges, such as addressing multiple equilibria and firms’ potentially limited awareness of their competitive landscapes, as well as statistical challenges. Pillar 4 pioneers the use of the novel methods to real-world scenarios, demonstrating their practical applicability and bolstering informed market interventions. Through these pillars, REGIO not only advances econometric research but also significantly enhances the interface between economics and policymaking, improving our understanding of dynamics in modern markets.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Sugar Pot manufacture in western Europe in the medieval and post-medieval period (11th-16th centuries AD)' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The SPotEU project explores the development and impact of sugar production in western Europe through the study of sugar pot manufacture from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating archaeological and historical research with material science and material culture approaches in an innovative way. Sugar production and consumption followed the Islamic expansion in the western Mediterranean and had a huge impact on European social, cultural and economic development since medieval times. The introduction of sugar cultivation entailed knowledge transfer and new technological requirements, such as the manufacture of sugar pots, used for the crystallization of the sugar, which require specific design, thermal and mechanical properties. The project focuses on Sicily and Spain, the two main regions for sugar production in western Europe in the 11th-16th centuries AD. Sugar pots from these regions will be assessed on a morphological, technological and performance point of view aided by instrumental analysis (Petrography, SEM, XRF, XRD, porosity, mechanical and thermal stress test) and software modelling (FEM). The comparison with reference ceramic materials and written records will allow the investigation of the scale of ceramic production and exchange networks, as well as potters’ technological choices in the construction of these on-purpose vessels. For the first time, sugar pots from western Europe will be examined in such technological detail that will allow the assessment of the way in which the performance of vessel was influenced by technological choices and by design, giving new insights on knowledge transfer and technological innovation across the Mediterranean in late medieval and post-medieval times. In contrast to previous studies based on written sources, this pr

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Highly stable glasses applied for lithium ion battery electrolytes' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Lithium ion batteries (LIB) with a solid-state electrolyte component is one of the much desired goals for rechargeable energy sources since they provide with high safety, high reliability and high energy density. Inorganic glass-based electrolytes are very promising materials due to their higher ionic conductivity when compared to crystalline alternatives. Nevertheless, important concerns still have to be resolved and optimized. For instance, ionic conductivity in glass-based electrolytes continues to be poor compared to liquid electrolytes and their stability still lacks of long lifetime capability. In general, necessary innovative scenarios are needed as the next step forward in current thin film battery research. In order to improve performance and solve these issues in LIB's we propose, as the main purpose within HS-GLASS+ion, the addition of a new class of materials, the so called highly stable glasses (HSG). These glasses can achieve remarkable properties when prepared through vacuum deposition processes when tuning several parameters during film growth. This new discovery is well considered as an important development in glasses and supercooled liquids but still unknown in the area of energy storage. HSG’s have higher densities which can help to easily create large homogeneous areas without any performance threatening artefacts. They are more resistant to temperature and vapor uptake which will increase chemical and structural stability of electrolytes. The lack of grain boundaries but the coinciding existence of short-range order will modify Li+ ion mobility achieving properties that have not yet been explored in battery research. The ability of tuning stability on HSG’s will help boost interface engineering through gradient compositions between the electrodes a

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Neural and computational learning ii' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The overall objective of the Working Group is to demonstrate the effectiveness of technologies that arise from a deep understanding of the performance and implementation of learning systems on real world data. As the robustness and efficacy of this technology increases the range of applications of the developed techniques will correspondingly multiply. The Working Group aims to specify novel systems and prototype them on real world data supplied by industrial collaborators or other benchmarks.The Work will be divided into the following three Areas:- Foundations and Algorithmics of Learning Novel models and techniques will be developed for analysing learning systems. Models will be considered that more accurately reflect real world conditions. Algorithms will be designed which perform well in the developed models.- Specification and Prototyping of Novel Learning Systems Novel insights will be translated into specifications for practical learning systems, which take advantage of the fundamental understanding, achieved and hence either have improved performance or more efficient learning algorithms. Where appropriate the systems will be prototyped on industrial applications or benchmark data. - Real Valued Complexity and Function Classes  The task of assessing the computational richness of function classes and their suitability for use in learning systems will be carried forward. The funded activities of the group will be as follows:- Workshops on particular themes of interest to a subset of the teams, including one per year focussed on industrial applications; - Short visits by researchers from one site to another; - Attendance at conferences and meetings related to the work; - Yearly project meetings; - Bringing external speakers to workshops or project meetings.
