user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Ultrafast Molecular Structural Dynamics' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Chemical reactions in solution are strongly influenced by femtosecond solvent-solute dynamics. Likewise, proteins provide specific environments to control the outcome of substrate reactions. The molecular understanding of these effect are currently poorly developed. I propose to fill this knowledge gap by ‘filming’ elementary chemical reactions in solution and in proteins. I will pioneer new time-resolved scattering and diffraction experiments using X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs).Using femtosecond time-resolved X-ray scattering, I plan to decipher the structural dynamics of bond breaking and bond formation in iodine containing compounds in solution. I will pioneer time-resolved fluctuation correlation X-ray scattering to recover full electron density maps of the reaction trajectories at an atomic resolution. I will visualize the as yet unknown structures of reaction intermediates and the solvent response. Furthermore, I propose to investigate the molecular photoresponse of phytochrome photoconversion with femtosecond time-resolved serial microcrystallography. Phytochromes are ubiquitous photosensory proteins in plants and are essential to all vegetation on earth. I will resolve how the chromophore and the protein react collectively to photoexcitation and how this leads to conformational changes.Combined, this interdisciplinary project will yield microscopic understanding on how the surrounding of reactants guides the outcome of elementary (bio)chemical reactions. This program builds on my strengths in structural biology of phytochromes (Takala et al., Nature, 2014), time-resolved X-ray scattering (Westenhoff et al., Nature Methods 2010), and femtosecond spectroscopy (21 papers in PRL, JACS, Nature Methods 2006-2012 & 2016).The new XFEL-based methods will have wide-r

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Solid and Fluid Regime Transition of Granular Materials' (SAFARI) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Granular materials exhibit regime transitions between solid-like, fluid-like, and gas-like behaviours, influenced by factors such as loading conditions, particle size distribution, density, and material strength. The transition between solid-like and fluid-like states is particularly significant, as it underpins critical phenomena like landslides, coastal erosion and sediment transport. It is also vital for optimising industrial processes and designing rovers for space exploration. Despite extensive research, the fundamental mechanisms governing these transitions remain poorly understood. This knowledge gap limits our ability to reliably predict geological events and optimise engineering and manufacturing processes.This project aims to advance our understanding of regime transitions in granular materials using novel laboratory micromechanical tests, coupled modelling of solid-fluid interaction, constitutive modelling and large-deformation analysis. Our consortium brings together expertise across diverse disciplines, including advanced experimental testing, numerical and physical modelling, geological engineering, robotics, and software development. All participating organisations will contribute to the research activities by leading research work packages, staff secondment and/or providing technical/infrastructure support.Alongside research, the project will facilitate staff exchange through secondments and networking and train young researchers in research and soft skills by training schools. These activities will help form lasting collaborations globally and train the next generation of researchers and engineers driving technological advancements in academia and industry. The project will also encourage knowledge exchange between universities and industry, enabling th

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Thermionic Energy Conversion & Storage Applied to Sunlight: Taking Concentrating Solar Power to the next level'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) has long been seen as one of the main routes for moving towards carbon neutrality, characterised by both overall system efficiency and Levelised Cost of Energy comparable with photovoltaics. Unfortunately, CSP is currently only implemented through very large centralized plant scales (>100 MW capacity), as process economics make this technology unsustainable at a smaller scale. That’s why, apart from few demo-plants, there is no commercial plant available in the 50 kW – 1 MW range.In the AMADEUS FET-OPEN project we have developed a thermionic-based converter, that is applied in TECSAS to concentrated solar energy and is able to selectively absorb the radiation to produce electrical power by exploiting efficiently sunlight and excess heat. When applied in substitution of state of the art traditional passive receiver elements, the proposed TECSAS technology allows a maximum increase of the CSP conversion efficiency from 20% up to 45%, potentially more than twice as much state of the art performances, regardless of the plant size. This can make existing and under construction CSP plants much more efficient, and at the same time allows thinking of scaling down CSP plants to sizes that are currently econonically unsustainable (≤1 MW).The aim of the TECSAS Launchpad project is to evaluate the technological and business feasibility of downscaled CSP plants (≤ 1 MW) powered by our thermionic converter, as well as to assess the willingness to pay of large scale plant owners which want to integrate TECSAS for performance enhancement. If successful, we will prove that CSP can be applied to benefit several industrial settings, small rural communities and other residential applications.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Determining Impact of Viruses on Biogeochemical processes In Soil'.

assistant: **Concept**

Microorganisms have a central role in soil biogeochemical processes. Essential functions include nutrient cycling, controlling greenhouse gas fluxes and supporting crop productivity. Soil is one of the most diverse habitats in the biosphere. High throughput sequencing has enabled characterisation of microbial communities, and determination of drivers such as climate and land use are well underway. However, we are only beginning to recognise the scale of viral diversity in soil, and importantly, the impacts of virus-host interactions on key soil biogeochemical cycles and subsequent functional consequences on ecosystems are unknown. Viruses have a range of life strategies, including infection and lysis of host cells or integration followed by lysis, facilitating horizontal transfer of genes and augmentation of function. When a host is lysed, cell contents are released into the labile organic matter pool. In marine systems, 40% of prokaryotes are lysed per day, releasing 150 Gt carbon per annum. However, there is a paucity of information about the impact of top-down control by viruses on soil populations nor the scale of the viral shunt of nutrients. It is likely that viruses have a major impact on microbial diversity and nutrient cycling, with consequences for ecosystem processes. Here we propose a research programme that not only aims to characterise active viral communities in situ, but advances the state-of-the-art by identifying actual impacts of viruses on selected key biogeochemical processes. Specifically, using a series of soil microcosm incubations utilising 13C stable isotope analysis, high throughput metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches, in combination with measurements of soil N and C fluxes, we will characterise, for the first time, active viruses to

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'European Data Incubator'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Only 2 out of the top 20 companies changing lives and making money out of Big Data are European. Europe is not playing the role it should in the global market. European Data Incubator project aims to revert this situation. Every company is born as a startup, and Big Data has already proven to be a disruptive technology that can provide substantial changes in traditional and innovative domains. Many SMEs are facing a number of problems when attempting to develop a sort of comprehensive data strategy. The tools required to make successful data management an achievable prospect often require an up-front capital investment. The data remains in silos and its availability or cross-domain value is still unperceived. EDI will help them jump this hurdle providing (1) a free infrastructure with open source tools (2) training on the most known off-the-self solutions (3) support and business services to develop their business idea and (4) equity-free funding.The main objective of the project will be to leverage the technology and knowledge on Big Data across countries and sectors thanks to the incubation of start-ups/SMEs who use Big Data open source tools oriented to sort out major challenges in different business which facilitate their data assets.An experienced consortium will be behind EDI. It is comprised by experts on Big Data technologies, the managers of several acceleration initiatives within the FIWARE Accelerate programme, existing incubators like Deusto Entrepreneurship Centre and etventure Seed Lab and the largest online network for start-ups (F6S). Moreover, 16 data providers, from Finance, Transport, Industry 4.0, Retail, Media&Content, Energy, etc. will provide data to the incubation process.We expect to incubate around 120 companies under a 3-phase incubation progr

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Micro and Nano Engineered Bi-Directional Carbon Interfaces for Advanced Peripheral Nervous System Prosthetics and Hybrid Bionics' (MERIDIAN).

assistant: **Innovation**

The main goal of this proposal is to bring novel technology of biocompatible, low bio-fouling, high electrochemical performance carbon nanomaterials to in-vivo preclinical applications and at the same time to use this materials to develop a highly advanced concept of intimate intracellular contact, based on bottom - up technology of, engulfing the micro-electrode by neural cells. Such bionic interfaces resemble true intrinsic physiological properties of neural somas and form a tight, extremely low-invasive bidirectional coupling for both motor and sensory functions. Advantage of our approach is unperfected fidelity of signals and resolution of single neuron fibers to be coupled to one protruding electrode. The research targets are devices ranging from cuff or lead electrodes to novel bidirectional interfaces for both sensory and motor functions for cybernetic mind-controlled prosthetics. Instead of re-targeting to an entire muscle, our research comes thus with a technique how to couple neurons by an intracellular way to form a single microelectrode-axon stimulating device and at the same time to provide sensory input ,  being on the front edge of research on bionic interfaces for novel neuroprosthetics.  The proposed technology takes advantage of unique properties of  well established nanodiamond thin films, with their unique and  the simple carbon chemistry allowing  integration with antibactericidal and anti-inflammatory surfaces. MERIDIAN  will demonstrate  devices in in-vivo studies and in preclinical tests on humans and benchmark fabricated devices with the current state of the art bionic system on the market.

assistant: **Abstract**

MEMOCELL: Mechanobiological Exploration of Memory Origin in CELLular DynamicsCell migration is a fundamental process in development, tissue repair, and disease progression. Despite advances in understanding cellular dynamics, the role of cellular ""footprints""residual cues left by migrating cellsremains poorly understood. The goal of this proposal is to fill this knowledge gap by investigating how cellular footprints contribute to the memory effects in cell dynamics and their impact on cell behavior within the extracellular matrix (ECM). Addressing this gap is crucial, as it could redefine our understanding of cell migration and lead to innovative therapeutic strategies for diseases where cell migration is key, such as cancer. This aligns with the EUs Beating Cancer Plan, making this research of significant societal relevance. Recent advancements in mechanobiology and cell biology now make it possible to precisely study these recently reported cellular memory phenomena. I believe in my ability to lead this project, given my multidisciplinary background in materials science, chemistry, and cell biology, and my established collaborations with leading experts in the field.This fellowship will also be a fundamental step in my career, providing me with the expertise in advanced cell biology needed to establish myself as an independent researcher and leader in the emerging field of mechanobiology. Through this project, I aim to contribute to scientific excellence and societal well-being, while achieving my long-term goal of leading innovative, interdisciplinary research at the intersection of biology, physics and materials science.""
