user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Panoramic optical manipulation of cardiac electrical dynamics: a novel tool to study complex arrhythmias' (OPTOCARD).

assistant: **Concept**

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death worldwide, and a substantial number of these deaths are caused by cardiac arrhythmias. Heterogeneities in repolarisation time (RT), which are caused by prolongation or abbreviation of action potential duration (APD) in certain areas of the heart can underly arrhythmias. Inherited disease, as well as acquired heart disease such as myocardial infarction can induce RT heterogeneities (RTH). While recent studies shed some light on how RTH drive arrhythmias, current experimental techniques lack flexibility of affected area size, and the conditions facilitating arrhythmias therefore remain elusive. Recently, a novel method to generate RTH was described, applying low-intensity optical stimulation in murine hearts expressing the light-activated ion channel channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), depolarising resting membrane potential (RMP) and prolonging APD in a spatially specific manner. While this intriguing approach would allow to study the impact of RTH on arrhythmogenesis in a highly flexible manner, current experimental platforms lack the abilities to perform this assessment. Therefore, we propose to construct a novel panoramic optical platform, consisting of 4 cameras and 4 digital projectors, to allow for optical stimulation as well as recording across the entire ventricular surface. In addition, we explore pharmacological approaches to enhance the RT gradient between the optically stimulated and non-stimulated area, identifying drugs prolonging APD in an RMP-modulated manner. The capability of manipulating RT across the whole heart surface with unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution will be employed to understand the mechanisms underlying arrhythmia induction and rotor maintenance.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Energy-Autonomous Microgrids: Integrated DC Energy Scavenging and On-Chip Micro-batteries for Self-Sustained Smart Electronics' (Auto-microGrids) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Artificial intelligence now depends on continuous, real-time data from vast IoT networks (microsensors, RFID, wearables, smart infrastructure). With >50 billion devices projected by 2030, disposable batteries and wiring are neither sustainable nor operationally manageable. Prior self-powered schemes pairing piezoelectric/triboelectric harvesters with micro-supercapacitors often yield irregular AC, high impedance and rapid self-discharge, forcing rectifiers/PMICs and undermining long-term operation. This Global Fellowship will deliver the first Autonomous-µGrids: a fully printed, monolithically integrated platform that directly couples DC tribovoltaic and moisture-electric generators with on-chip Zn//I2 micro-batteries to supply stable, maintenance-free power without external rectification or bulky power management. The research is organised into four objectives : (i) fabricate on-chip, high-performance Zn//I2 MBs; (ii) design scalable, low-impedance DC harvesters (tribovoltaic, moisture-electric) that capture ambient energy, including human micromotions, under real conditions; (iii) realise a monolithic platform via impedance/output matching to eliminate lossy stages; (iv) validate by powering commercial ultra-low-power micro-IoT (RFID, microsensors, microrobots). The approach combines printed Au interdigitated collectors on PET/Kapton, micro-plotter deposition of Zn and cathode inks, and printable MEG/tribovoltaic layers engineered for high output and environmental robustness. This fellowship will move self-powered IoT from lab prototypes to deployable infrastructure, establishing a generalisable, maintenance-free power platform for next-generation autonomous electronics.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Volcanic ash: field, laboratory and numerical investigations of processes during its lifecycle' (VERTIGO).

assistant: **Concept**

Explosive volcanic eruptions are an unavoidable natural hazard: Volcanic ash, the ejected lethal mixture of crystals, lava, glass and older rocks, is the most far-reaching threat. In April 2010, the ash cloud from Eyjafjall volcano in Iceland, a comparatively small event, paralysed large parts of Europe for up to one week in a manner unique in history. The impact was dramatic: several million passengers were grounded due to closed air pace and decelerated or halted industrial production caused several billion Euros of estimated economic loss. This scenario was largely amplified by the quasi-Babylonian lack of understanding and interaction amongst volcanologists, meteorologists,atmospheric researchers, engineers, private sector and politics.This eruption was not a singular “accident”: Europe has active volcanoes and is surrounded by others and must be prepared for similar future events. This requires a comprehensive and supra-disciplinary approach to allow for an encompassing mechanistic and quantitative understanding of the physico-chemical processes during the lifecycle of volcanic ash: from formation in a volcano, through changes during the dispersal in the atmosphere to the impacts on life and society.VERTIGO will address this challenging issue with a unique and innovative portfolio of partners from academia, research institutes and the private sector from eight European countries. We will offer an unmatched platform for research and training for highly-skilled students with a background in geology/volcanology, petrology/chemistry, informatics, biology, toxicology, fluid dynamics and/or engineering. The research-through-training projects for 13 students accomplish the EUROPE2020 strategy for a modern system of education. They will be educated in scientific and transf

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Array based sequencing-by-synthesis' (ARRAYSBS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Future demands for understanding, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases will create a need for DNA sequencing platforms that are faster and significantly more cost effective than the alternatives currently available. It is the aim of this project to develop methods and components for a sequencing-by-synthesis approach with the potential of fulfilling these needs. The core group of three biotech SMEs, located in Sweden, Estonia and Lithuania, have essential and unique competencies for developing these new DNA methods and components but some key elements are missing and need to be found outside these companies.Steps involvs development of four dNTPs with blocked 3'-end, isolation and selection of a DNA polymerase that accepts these, a microfluidic device as reaction chamber, bioinformatics and validation of the system.The SMEs represent extensive experience in the area of DNA arrays with spotted primers for mutation detection, organic chemistry of modified nucleotides, and isolating and selecting DNA modifying enzymes. The areas where additional expertise is needed are i)DNA polymerases interaction with modified dNTPs, ii)microfluidics, iii)bioinformatics, specifically related to primer selection and handling the DNA sequence information generated. Three RTD performers from Germany, Sweden and Estonia with excellent knowledge in these three (i-iii) areas will take part in the project. It is expected, that with the support of this CRAFTproject, the SME group will succeed in this development of the new approach, based on an array platform with thousands or more of oligonucleotide features. The major technical risk concerns the identification of a DNA polymerase that accepts the modified nucleotides, and the possibilities to improve its performance.A positive outco

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Emergent complexity in electronically frustrated correlated electron systems' (ELECTRONCOMPLEXITY) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The correlation of electrons in a solid produces a variety of states, typically through the interplay between magnetism and electrical conductance. That interplay has itself been a long-standing research topic among condensed matter physicists. But since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors, a more general interest in the Mott transition, the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in a correlated-electron system, has emerged. Close to the MIT, competition between distinct ground states gives rise to spatially extended slow density fluctuations, and coexistence of different ordered phases separated by one or more quantum critical points. Furthermore, the charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, and their coupled dynamics, produce complex phases such as liquid-like, crystal-like, and liquid-crystal-like states of electrons. The behaviours of these systems present profound challenges in fundamental physics, and electronic complexity could have potential consequences for applications because in addition to spin and charge, the lattice and orbital degrees of freedoms are active, leading to large responses to small perturbations. This project will study the nature of quantum order at low temperatures in materials on the border of magnetism and close to a disorder-driven MIT. We will use charge carrier doping as a quantum tuning parameter to investigate the formation of spatially extended density fluctuations and demonstrate the implications of electronic complexity in low dimensional systems. We aim at identifying a physical picture describing the dynamics of spin and charge in materials near disorder-driven MIT's and study the most dramatic consequence of all: the possibility of extended and slow density fluctuations acting in favour of superconducting pairing.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Complex Light INside Channelled Hollow-core for FCS nanoparticle characterization' (CLINCH-FCS).

assistant: **Concept**

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is an innovative technique for the detection and characterization of nanoscale species within their natural environment. It has successfully measured protein-protein and protein-lipid interaction dynamics, determined spectroscopic parameters of fluorophores and monitored binding constants among diffusing species. However, current FCS systems, predominantly based on confocal microscopes, have large footprint and inflexible focal observation volumes, limiting their applicability outside controlled laboratory settings. There is a strong need for compact, flexible FCS solutions. My approach addresses this need by exploiting the interaction between diffusing nanoparticles (NPs) and complex light fields within a hollow-core optical waveguide (HCW), nanoprinted directly onto an optical fiber facet.  This advancement not only paves the way for a portable FCS tool suitable for clinical environments but also has the potential to enhance existing FCS technology. Our device offers two major advantages: (i) prolonged observation times due to the confinement of NP diffusion within the waveguide core, and (ii) rapid detection that surpasses image-based techniques by recording only emitted powers. By integrating extended observation periods with high acquisition rates, my FCS system facilitates the study of fast dynamic processes and interactions at the single NP level, addressing fundamental questions in life sciences, material science and light-matter interactions in general. Furthermore, my opto-fluidic platform supports both fluorescence and scattered light detection, enabling the investigation of NPs that cannot be fluorescently labeled. Notably, it allows for simultaneous measurement of fluorescence and scattered light, unlocking new pa

user: Describe how 'Investigation of Nanoscale properties of Topological Weyl semimetals' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Weyl semimetals are a recently-discovered class of topological quantum materials predicting unexpected and extraordinary transport properties. Their electronic band structure features valence and conduction bands crossing in paired Weyl nodes with opposite chiralities. In such systems the conduction electrons behave as topologically-protected massless quasiparticles with an ultra-high carrier mobility and well-defined spin-momentum locking configurations. The unique combination of these properties has attracted the attention of the scientific community that is currently striving to unveil the complex physics underlying Weyl semimetals. Besides, from a technological perspective, Weyl semimetals are expected to provide an ideal platform to test novel device functionalities in the areas of information technology, energy conversion and sensing. Nonetheless, being a newborn field in science, so far the research activities have focused on Weyl semimetals in the form of bulk single crystalline materials. The main objectives of this action are to comprehensively investigate the yet-unexplored properties of Weyl semimetals at the nanoscale and to define possible integration routes for new-generation microelectronic devices. For this purpose, epitaxial thin films of Weyl semimetals will be used as referent systems to probe the influence of different control parameters (e.g. by substrate-induced strain, film thickness, interfaces, external electric and/or magnetic fields) on their structural and electronic properties. Eventually, the potential impact of Weyl semimetals in current microelectronic schemes will be evaluated by designing prototypes based on field-effect and magnetic heterostructures. In this context, the state-of-the-art facilities and the well-established expertise i

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Networking financial investors, business experts and support organisations to foster enhanced innovation activity among Europe's textile and clothing companies' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Innovation activities in the scattered and SME dominated textile sector, with the exception of larger groups, often lack continuity, strategic direction, and, above all, funds. R&D support services and grants are well established at regional, national and European level. However, when the project reaches the stage where a prototype can demonstrate viability, access to risk capital, including loan and guarantee schemes, is a big barrier. Although private equity and venture capital activities have been lately experiencing a great development in Europe, they are underdeveloped in the textile-clothing sector. Furthermore the highly complex filiere complicate the assessment of risks for investors, especially concerning sensitive knowledge sharing and intangible assets management. Enterprises are still mostly family owned and with basic managerial skills, very reluctant to loose company control even in kind of fresh and advanced managerial professionalism brought in by risk capital funds. This proposal will establish a European Textile and Clothing innovation financing expert network, whose activities and findings will be closely related to the European Textile Technology Platform.This will be achieved by:- Identification and analysis of sector's specificities;- Development and validation of tools and guidance materials;- Mobilising finance investors, incubators and investing enterprises in the sector to contribute to the activities of the network;- Organisation of roundtables and specific workshops to discuss relevant issues and validating the tools and relevant materials produced by the project;- Establishment of a map, at European level, of appropriate funding sources, including the development of a rating system of those funds that could be considered as the most suitable

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Recruitment and activation of brown adipocytes as preventive and curative therapy for type 2 diabetes'.

assistant: **Concept**

The DIABAT project will employ knowledge of the function, dysfunction and physiological regulation of brown adipocytes to develop innovative therapeutic and preventive strategies for type 2 diabetes. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is currently a worldwide recognized target to combat obesity and diabetes due to last years re-discovery of functional BAT in adult humans by several of the members of the DIABAT network (van Marken LIchtenbelt et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 360, 1500, 2009; Virtanen…, Enerbäck & Nuutila, N. Engl. J. Med. 360, 1518, 2009) along with sharp rise in insight in cellular, genetic, and regulatory mechanisms from animal studies. Therefore, the DIABAT project aims at recruiting and re-activating endogenous energy-dissipating BAT as a preventive and/or remedial measure for weight and blood sugar control in obesity-related type 2 diabetes (“diabesity”), thereby halting or preventing destruction and facilitating recovery of pancreatic beta-cells under diabetic conditions.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Organometallic Single-Molecule Magnets' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

In this project, we will develop new single-molecule magnets (SMMs) that combine the strong magnetic anisotropy of lanthanide ions with a series of novel radical ligands. Highly unusual di- and tri-metallic Ln-SMMs are proposed in which the metals are bridged by radicals with heavy Group 15 donor atoms (i.e. the pnictogens, phosphorus-bismuth). The SMM field is dominated by systems with diamagnetic ligands: our radical ligands are novel, hence their applications in single-molecule magnetism will be unprecedented. We will exploit the rich electrochemistry of the proposed ligands: our DFT calculations show that the target heavy pnictogen radical anions have huge spin densities on the donor atoms, hence the diffuse unpaired spin of the radicals will provide a way of switching off the quantum tunnelling mechanisms that otherwise prevent hysteresis. Ultimately, this project introduces the potential for creating SMMs that show hysteresis at unprecedentedly high temperatures.
