user: Draft an impact statement for 'PhotoniX: PHOTOconversion for Novel Integrated X-systems', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

PhotoniX aims to revolutionize laser technology by introducing a radically new class of solar-powered, Thulium-doped fiber lasers (TDFLs) that directly convert sunlight into coherent mid-infrared (midIR) laser radiation at 2 µm. This groundbreaking approach bypasses traditional electricity-dependent laser pumping, enabling energy-autonomous photonic systems critical for terrestrial and space applications. The project addresses major barriers limiting current solar-pumped fiber lasers (SPFLs), such as inefficient solar coupling, suboptimal excitation dynamics, thermal instability, and fundamental étendue constraints inherent in incoherent solar radiation.PhotoniX targets three transformative breakthroughs: a novel sun-tracking adaptive optical system optimized for efficient side-coupling of spatially incoherent sunlight into multi-mode fibers; advanced double- and triple-clad multi-mode optical fibers engineered for solar pumping with robust thermal management; and the first demonstration of a continuous-wave SPFL emitting at practical power levels in the mid-IR regime. By leveraging interdisciplinary expertise, the consortium will validate a compact, high-performance laser prototype at TRL 4, achieving quantum efficiencies over 30%, an order-of-magnitude improvement compared to current SPFL technologies.The project's integrated approach combines innovative solar optics, tailored optical fibers, and novel laser cavity designs, overcoming longstanding scientific and technological hurdles. This will open unprecedented opportunities across advanced manufacturing, biomedicine, quantum photonics, and particularly in energy-autonomous photonic systems crucial for deep-space exploration, resilient healthcare, and sustainable industrial applications.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Towards the discovery of cellular RNA-binding proteins with master regulatory roles in virus infection' (2014-2020) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

RNA is a central molecule for RNA virRNA is a central molecule for RNA virus infection. However, viral genomes encode very few proteins that are able to interact with viral RNA. Hence, viruses co-opt cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to support infection. The host cell also employs RBPs to combat viruses through the recognition of unusual signatures present viral RNAs. Despite these critical roles, the complement of cellular RBPs involved in infection remains largely unknown. This research programme aims to discover comprehensively and unbiasedly the repertoire of cellular RBPs endowed with master regulatory roles in virus infection. To achieve this, we will exploit a novel method developed in my laboratory, named viral RNA interactome capture (vRIC), that allows the elucidation of viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) composition with unprecedented depth and specificity. It employs pulse-labelling of viral RNA with a photoactivatable nucleotide analogue, UV crosslinking, viral RNA purification with antisense probes and quantitative proteomics. (Aim 1) I hypothesise that cellular RBPs that interact with a broad-range of viral RNAs are likely endowed with master regulatory roles in infection. To test this, I will apply vRIC to cells infected with different RNA viruses to discover RBPs that are shared across viral RNPs. Moreover, we will employ interferon α to investigate if the engagement of these RBPs with viral RNA is regulated by the antiviral state. (Aim 2) To test if these broad-spectrum RBPs display master regulatory roles in infection, I will apply a novel functional screen using genetically modified cells and a broad library of fluorescent viruses. (Aim 3) We will then decipher the molecular mechanisms underpinning the ability of these RBPs to support or restrict infe

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'MOnitoring Symmetries with Entanglement'.

assistant: **Concept**

Symmetry and entanglement stand as two foundational concepts in modern quantum physics that have revolutionised our understanding of quantum many-body systems. Their interplay is becoming a central theme in contemporary quantum research, influencing a broad spectrum of fields including quantum information, condensed matter theory, and high-energy physics.The MOSE project sets out to develop new theoretical frameworks to explore how entanglement and symmetries interact with each other. We will investigate various scenarios, such as the restoration of symmetries in monitored quantum circuits, the entanglement properties of supersymmetric spin chains, and the dynamics of gauge symmetries in lattice gauge theories. Our approach incorporates advanced theoretical frameworks like generalised hydrodynamics and space-time duality. We also delve into entanglement asymmetry in black hole evaporation, providing fresh perspectives on the black hole information paradox. Additionally, the project will explore the quantum and classical Mpemba effect through symmetry restoration, aiming to uncover new connections between quantum and classical dynamics. The overarching theme throughout this proposal is the monitoring of symmetries through the lens of entanglement.Finally, we will leverage the randomised measurement toolbox to examine the experimental implications of all our findings. This process will involve designing new experiments and collaborating with leading experimental groups to validate some of our theoretical predictions. This interdisciplinary effort promises to deepen our understanding of fundamental quantum phenomena and their implications for future quantum devices.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'GlucoBeam: A portable device for pain-free glucose self-monitoring in diabetic patients'.

assistant: **Concept**

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the largest health challenges currently faced by modern society, affecting over 400 million people in the world. DM cannot be cured, but via well-controlled therapy, a high quality of life with diabetes can be obtained, with a minimum of short- and long-term complications. The key to a successful diabetes therapy is a well-controlled blood glucose level, which is obtained by carefully balancing insulin intake, diet, and exercise and with Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) as a cornerstone. Conventional SMBG is an invasive test requiring the patient to prick his/her finger with a lancet to extract a blood droplet onto a disposable strip for electrochemical analysis of the glucose concentration. Repeating this uncomfortable and painful task 4-8 times per day leads to severe loss in life quality, often resulting in poor complianceleading to costly complications.RSP’s proprietary non-invasive SMBG technology relies on the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy for directly detectingindividual substances, refined by a unique critical depth optical scanning to collect glucose signals from the right tissue depthrange, thus avoiding sources of errors during the measurement. Our GlucoBeam device will enable DM patients to test theirglucose levels in around 30s and as often as desired – at no added cost or pain – thereby empowering them to bettermanage their treatment and minimizing the risk for acute complications.GlucoBeam’s successful commercialization will position RSP to secure an aggregated turnover of approx. €253 million overthe 5 years post-project period. Furthermore, it has the potential to reach double digit billion savings for EU’s healthcaresystems and will ultimately lead to significantly improved life quality for the large populat

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Neural markers of social brain activation in human-robot interaction'.

assistant: **Innovation**

With the imminent introduction of artificial agents into our digital future, robots will become teammates, companions and counterparts. However, it remains unclear whether people would interact with humanoid robots as social partners or use them as mere tools. NeuroMarkerHRI seeks to identify neural markers of the activation of social cognitive mechanisms with robots based on hemodynamic responses using supervised ML models. This will determine whether the human brain interprets the behavior from a humanoid robot using social (e.g., mirror neuron system, theory of mind) or general domain cognitive mechanisms (e.g., attention, cognitive control). With a hypothesis-driven and stepwise approach, the project will measure hemodynamic responses with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in brain regions associated with social cognition, theory of mind and perception of mental states during collaborative interactions with humanoid robots. Hemodynamic signal features will be included in the machine learning models to identify predictors of social or general domain cognitive mechanisms. The project's interdisciplinary nature integrates well-documented methods of cognitive neuroscience, advancements in robotics, and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to thoroughly evaluate the factors that modulate the activation of the social brain exposed to humanoid robots. Outcomes will set standards for future research in human-robot interaction, offer a reliable tool for designers to measure the effect of robot behavior on the users, and boost the development and improvement of efficient human-robot collaboration. The current project contributes to creating a human-centered development of technology and would help towards the digital transition in Europe, allowing to unloc

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Development of innovative high performance anodised aluminium moulding tools for the thermoplastic processing sector to achieve competitive advantage' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The use of aluminium mould tools for thermoplastic processing is becoming increasingly popular within the EU: driven by cost, reduced cycle times, reduced lead times and reduced energy cost. The growth rates for aluminium tools for thermoplastic processing applications are expected to increase significantly over the next few years. However, limitations of aluminium tools in regards to their corrosion, wear and abrasion resistance have prevented even greater up-take. Traditional anodising technologies (that produce surfaces with regular pore structures) have failed to overcome these limitations as the surfaces produced develop micro-cracks under mechanical or thermal strain (at temperatures as low as 200oC), leading to reduction in the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties. Two innovative technologies have been developed by UK SMEs anodisers that allow for the production of anodised surfaces that prevent micro-crack formation and can make possible the production of aluminium tools that have wear resistance better than that of steel with cyclic heat resistance up to 500oC and, in addition, very high thermal emissivity. The proposed project aims to develop these technologies for the manufacture of aluminium tools (with optimised mechanical and thermal properties) for thermoplastics processing applications. The main objective of the project is to develop pre-competitive, innovative anodised aluminium mould tools for Injection moulding, blow moulding and rotational moulding. These moulds will have surface mechanical and thermal properties, exceeding those presently on the market in regards: "" Wear resistance. "" Thermal Emissivity. "" Corrosion resistance. If the project objectives are achieved then the SME participants will obtain a technological edge

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Management services for object oriented distributed systems' (MASCOTTE).

assistant: **Concept**

The computer industry has embraced distributed objects as the middleware solution for application integration and distributed processing over the last few years. There is an emerging technology which is having more and more success in this field: the standards based initiative from the Object Management Group (OMG) called CORBA. While this technology is clearly focused on enabling applications, possibly consisting of many millions of objects, it does not include a standards based approach to the management of those objects.The field of management technology has been dominated by industry efforts spearheaded by both the telecommunications and computer communications sectors. Products based on CMIS/CMIP and SNMP have achieved immense penetration in their respective market sectors.As more CORBA systems go into production, the need to manage them increases. Users wish to manage these systems in a consistent manner from existing tools with a proven track record. No such solution exists today.The management of CORBA based systems is provided by a set of CORBA based Management Facilities. The project will define and implement these facilities in conformity with current activities of OMG and X/Open in this domain.These facilities will be used both by CORBA based management applications and by existing standards based management tools. This twofold and inter-operable use of the Management Facilities results in a significant enrichment of the CORBA environment and in the integration of standard management with CORBA.By project end, the consortium will have the following tangible results in place:- Specification and implementation of a set of CORBA based Common Facilities for management,- CORBA extensions to include management capabilities,- Management Applications enabled to mana

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Determination of the nucleotide sequence of the 3.7 megabases chromosome of rhizobium meliloti' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The prominent importance for agriculture and environment of bacteria belonging to Rhizobiaceae, a family including the genera Rhizobium and Agrobacterium, stems from their close relationships - either symbiotic or pathogenic - with higher plants - either wild or cultivated. Rhizobia induce in leguminous plants nodules in which bacteria in a differentiated form reduce atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammoniac that is eventually assimilated by the plant. This symbiosis is believed to account for half the nitrogen biologically fixed per annum, that is to say the equivalent of the yearly production of nitrate fertilizers by industry (80 million tons).  The present project aims at determining the nucleotide sequence of the chromosome (3.7 Mb in size) of a model Rhizobium, S. meliloti. It is included in an international project with more scope in which the two megaplasmids that are essential to the bacterium's vital processes will be sequenced by American and Canadian laboratories.  Full knowledge of the genome of this bacterium appearing as a model in both agricultural and environmental contexts will allow i) better insight into the molecular base of the bacterium's interaction with his host plant; ii) improvement of the system; iii) extension to other bacterium-plant associations of agroindustrial significance.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Nano- and colloidal plastics in soil: input, plant uptake and risk assessment' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Plastic pollution has been identified as a key to soil health. Yet, information on inputs and concentrations in agricultural soil is limited to microplastics (> 1 µm-5 mm) or larger particles, but nothing is known about submicron plastics, including colloidal plastics (CPs; 1-1000 nm) and nanoplastics (NPs; 1-100 nm), due to a lack of analytical methods. This is critical because mainly submicron plastics harm soil biota, are taken up by plants, and thus pose a risk to human health via the food chain. As plastic pollution is rising, we urgently need to quantify submicron plastics in agricultural soils and the resulting plant uptake and contamination of our food to safeguard our food production. Hence, the NanoSoil project is designed to test the following hypotheses: i) submicron plastics can be routinely detected using Field Flow Fractionation (FFF) with adaptions from environmental colloid tracing, ii) agricultural practices (compost and sludge application, wastewater irrigation, plastic mulching) are main pathways for submicron plastics into soil, as well as iii) the use of so-called biodegradable foils in agriculture. I further hypothesize that iv) uptake and accumulation of CPs and NPs in crops are polymer- and plant-specific, temperature- and humidity-dependent, with mainly NPs reaching edible parts. To quantify submicron plastics, I will i) optimize a recently developed method using FFF and pyrolysis gas chromatography. This method will then ii+iii) be used on soil samples from agricultural fields with known plastic input pathways for conventional and biodegradable plastics, including an Europe-wide survey and existing controlled field trials. Finally, iv) plant uptake will be assessed for representative crops. With my combined expertise in nanoparticle and plasti
