user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Nanometer Resolution in Two-Beam Direct Laser Writing Lithography'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Two-photon direct laser writing (DLW) lithography is a powerful tool to fabricate 3D structures with feature sizes of ~100 nm. This technique is based on the quadratic dependence of the absorption of near-infrared (NIR) light (two-photon absorption, 2PA) by molecules called photoinitiators which trigger the photopolymerization of curable resins. With the aim of downsizing the structures to the nanometer resolution, a requirement of the microelectronics industry, a new strategy has been added to the DLW lithography, the two-beam approach (excitation and inhibition beams) based on the reversible saturable optical fluorescence transition (RESOLFT) concept. This approach is borrowed from the field of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and consists in the reversible depletion of some intermediate excited state of the photoinitiators only at some specific areas of the point spread function (PSF) of the excitation beam. The objective of this project is to further develop the two-beam DLW lithography to make it more competitive compared to other advanced nanofabrication techniques. The project is conducted to overcome the limitations of the two-beam DLW lithography: 1) the large feature size, the state-of-the-art has recently been pushed to 9 nm line width from a previous value of 55 nm, and 2) the large spatial resolution (Abbe´s resolution limit) due to the so-called “memory effect”, this value always exceeds 2–5 times the feature size, with a lowest value of 52 nm. The approach is based on the investigation of the photophysics and photochemistry involved in the photopolymerization by means of the ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy to shed some light on the inhibition processes. The expected results are the decrease of the actual size of the written features to

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Ecological cooling for buildings by combining a closed wet cooling tower with chilled ceilings'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Following the United Nations Conference in Rio on the Environment and Development, the European Union committed itself to first stabilising and then reducing CO2 and CFC emissions. One obvious and straightforward way to reduce CO2 emissions is to reduce the heat loss of buildings. Better insulated buildings on one hand, and the continious growth of computing on the other hand, have lead to an increased requirement for cooling to avoid uncomfortably high temperatures during a relatively long period of the year. An increasing number of buildings will be touched by this development. Therefore, There is a strong demand for CFC free, cheap, smart and energy efficient cooling systems. To overcome this situation, the partners of this proposal suggest to combine a closed wet cooling tower, also called indirect contact evaporative cooling tower, with a chilled ceiling to one system. Both of the components are well known, but in this combination futher research and development is needed. Details of the main objectives are: 1. To improve and optimize an existing closed wet coolong tower technology to suit the system, 2. To develop a simple and cheap control strategy for the system taking the building mass inot account, 3. To improve the system with regard to minimize investment and running cotst and energy consumption, 4. To know the applicability of the system, depending on climate and use of the building, 5. To give a simple guideline, which show how to install and run the system, to building services, consultants and HVAC installers. It is expected that after the end of this project, the system can be put into action by ordinary HVAC installers. There is a great potential for use of this new system in the retrofit of existing as well as new buildings. The area of use is expecte

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Cyclic nucleotides as second messengers in plants' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Multicellularity in plants and animals arose independently, as reflected in dramatically different signalling mechanism make-ups. Intracellular signalling’s central paradigm in animals is the concept of ‘second messengers’- most prominently cAMP and cGMP. Contrastingly, in plants, cAMP/cGMP are not part of mainstream ideas on signalling.Our recent, unexpected identification of cAMP and cGMP acting in the canonical signalling for the phytohormone auxin inspired a paradigm-shifting hypothesis that cAMP and cGMP act as largely unappreciated versatile second messengers in multiple plant signalling pathways. This would dramatically expand the modes of plant intracellular signalling, opening possibilities for additional regulations and crosstalks. It would also provide a new means of targeted engineering of signalling outputs, highly relevant for plant biotechnology.To systematically explore this radical hypothesis, I propose to generate (opto)genetic tools to (i) monitor and (ii) specifically manipulate cellular cAMP/GMP levels. Our vRootchip microfluidics set-up allows us to (iii) survey the plant signalling landscape and identify pathways involving cAMP/GMP further supported by (iv) identification of thus-far elusive cAMP/cGMP targets. As a blueprint for the use of the generated tools and knowledge, we plan (v) to elucidate the role of cGMP in phytohormone jasmonate signalling. Together, these approaches will establish cAMP/cGMP as bona fide second messengers in plants. We provide a rich resource to investigate their involvement in any chosen signalling mechanism or cellular response, while offering tools to manipulate their signalling output for both fundamental discoveries and targeted applications.This strategy poses considerable intellectual and methodological challeng

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Defect Review Via Electron Beam Induced Auger Electron Microanalysis Of Semiconductors' (DREAMS).

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of DREAMS is to assess the 300 mm EXPIDA 1250 SEM/AUGER defect review tool fabricated by Philips Electron Optics. From an already beta type existing tool the project will allow to bring to the global market a tool for Defect Review Analysis in a Manufacturing Environment. The tool offers unsurpassed initial first specifications on the SEM and spatial Auger resolution below 10nm. The main work in the project will concentrate in improving software, industrial reliability parameters and pushing the AUGER performances to its limits. A highly qualified Consortium: ST Microelectronics project Coordinator and node, PHILIPS SEMICONDUCTORS, INTERNATIONAL SEMATECH and IMEC thus 2 major Semiconductor Manufactures, a prestigious International Consortium and a worldwide recognised research Institute will guarantee the success of the assessment.Objectives:The main objective is to have by the end of the project a SEM/AUGER 300 mm compatible defect review tool that will succeed to be a must in the in line/at line characterisation and Defect Review Analysis in Semiconductor Manufacturer facilities. To achieve this goal besides assessing and improving the technical performances for measurements, all issues for total compatibility of the equipment with FAB facilities including reliability parameters and COO will be fully analysed and improved throughout the project duration. Technical performances will allow to have in the same tool a 3 nm optical imaging resolution with 10 nm lateral resolution chemical analysis via AES. The modifications an upgrade target a final equipment total compatible with SEMI/I300I standards, a friendly efficient software and parameters figures for MTBF, MTTR, downtime, set up time, service area, COO among the best for equipments installed in manufa

user: Explain how 'Development of a low termperature processing method for the production of natural long fibre filled polypropylene sheet' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The use of natural fibres as reinforcing fillers in polypvopy.lene sheet for automotive applications is becoming increasingly popular within the European Union. This has been driven by environmental concerns, increased recyclability and a move towards more sustainable products and processes. The growth rates for natural fibres in automotive applications are predicted to increase by 4% over the next 7 years. However, due to the relatively low thermal degradation temperature of natural fibres, they degrade under 'normal' processin~ temperatures, resulting in odours, loss of mechanical properties and discclcuration. This has prevented even greater up-take of natural fibres for sheet applications. Technology developed by one of the consortium pa;rtners has shown that traditional plastics processing equipment can be modified to allow for liquid CO2 to be used as a processing aid that allows for processing at lower temperatures. However, this technology is a high pressure and high shear process, unsuitable for the processing of shear and thermally sensitive natural fibres. The proposed project aims to develop the necessary extrusion and mixing technologies to allow for the lowtemperature processing of natural fibre filled polypropylene (using liquid CO2 as a processing aid) to produce a non-woven polypropylene sheet suitable for thermoforming automotive applications. The main objectives are: .To produce a sheet material based on renewable resources with better mechanical and thermal properties and recyclability than those currently on the market. .To develop innovative technologies for low-damage sheet production. .To remove the need for expensive and environmentally harmful fibre chemical treatment. If these objectives are achieved then the SME participants will obtain a tec

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Terahertz high resolution spectroscopy using driven optical resonators', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Spectroscopy is an important tool to understand molecular and atomic phenomena. Dual comb spectroscopy DCS and asynchronous optical sampling AOSPS are prominent techniques in infrared and Terahertz range respectively. Both rely on dual frequency combs or dual (FC), and their limitations stem from the comb design, necessitating a trade-off between speed and resolution. The spectral resolution is limited by the repetition rate of the FC. The most common sources for FC are mode-locked lasers and electro-optic modulators. However, due to technical peculiarities, these techniques are not suited for low repetition rates, leading most spectroscopy systems in the 100 MHz-10GHz range. TRESOR (Terahertz high resolution spectroscopy using driven optical resonators) aims to showcase a novel optical platform based on ultrashort pulses in low repetition rate, high-Q resonator, to address the limitations inherent in FC based spectroscopy methods. On the fundamental front, I will investigate the generation of novel soliton formations, such as super cavity solitons SCS in high intrinsic loss resonator with large detuning. So far, SCS in low repetition rate resonators have not been experimentally explored, mainly because of the lack of a sufficiently precise perturbation. To use the FC based on SCS in the THz range, pulses need to be amplified. This will give rise to a new challenge related to sub-200fs pulse amplification. On the applied side, by using FC based on SCS, TRESOR can improve the resolution and speed of current spectroscopy methods and give rise to new nonlinear measurement techniques. Despite these fundamental and applied reasons, the experimental approach of TRESOR will overcome such challenges and enable the realization of high-resolution spectroscopy in the THz range wit

user: Explain how 'Development of the extended U-space Concept of Operations CORUS V5.0' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Europe has developed the U-space Concept of Operations as a basis for regulations, system development and drone operations. Most operations to date have taken place in segregated airspace yet the need to integrate U-space into controlled airspace is increasingly recognized as an enabler to widespread use of unpiloted vehicles. The SESAR projects CORUS and CORUS XUAM have developed and demonstrated the European Concept of Operations for U-space, presently ConOps v4.0. Recognizing that full integration, not segregation, is the final objective we advocate a stepwise approach. Building on the success of CORUS and CORUS XUAM, “CORUS five” will extend and mature the European U-space ConOps to include airspace that is not presently covered, e.g above VLL and in the vicinity of controlled airports. This objective can only be met by involving all stakeholder groups and eliciting a sound set of requirements based on their needs. The CORUS five consortium therefore includes ANSPs, a USSP, a CISP, research, industry as well as a drone operator. To ensure alignment and uptake of ConOps v5.0 with the ATM community, the consortium includes the EUROCONTROL ATM Master Plan Unit. To base the ConOps on an even wider base, a strong Advisory Board will be built and consulted very actively through workshops and dialogue to capture requirements and ensure the ConOps is safe and technically feasible. It would be naïve to assume that all outstanding research questions can be solved in the lifetime of CORUS five and its sibling projects. An Integration Roadmap will provide recommendations how outstanding research topics can be addressed. In addition, Recommendations for Standardization and Regulation will be provided. Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation are of outmost importance for a

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Sustainable extensive and semi-intensive coastal aquaculture in Southern Europe' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Traditional extensive coastal and semi-intensive aquaculture systems in Southern Europe are facing difficulties, especially due to increased competition for coastal areas by other candidate users and market competition, due to low-price products from intensive aquaculture. The positive effects of extensive and semi-intensive aquaculture in coastal areas - including environmental protection and restoration in areas of particular ecological interest, employment opportunity and development in rural and coastal areas - have been clearly recognised within EU policy.  The final goal of the SEACASE project is to develop effective tools for maintenance of competitiveness, productivity, profitability and thus sustainability of extensive and semi-intensive aquaculture production in Southern Europe, while minimizing its environmental impacts and improving the quality and public image of its products.  The project will be based on case studies covering a wide variety of production systems and geographical locations (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece), although some basic technological improvements will also be studied. Environmentally-friendly farming protocols will be analyzed and/or developed and certification possibilities will be assessed and proposed for voluntary use by the industry. Quality markers will be studied in order to be able to differentiate aquaculture products from extensive and semi-intensive systems from the ones produced in intensive systems. Some of such markers may also facilitate product trace ability.  A socio-economic assessment of the production systems used in the case studies will be produced. Where possible this analysis will be completed by an assessment of potential non-market benefits and costs, including social and patrimonial aspects. This

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Investigation of Particle acceleration in Long-lived Astrophysical Shocks and magnetized Turbulent plasma interaction' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Cosmic rays (charged particles that constantly strike Earth) remain one of astrophysics’ greatest mysteries: how are they accelerated to such extreme energies? Supernova remnants (SNRs), where powerful shock waves interact with turbulent magnetic fields, are prime candidates. Yet key processes such as particle injection efficiency, diffusion, and turbulence amplification remain poorly constrained.The IPLAST project will create the first laboratory–astrophysics bridge to address this challenge. By combining high-power laser experiments with advanced simulations, IPLAST will deliver experimentally validated inputs for models of particle acceleration in SNRs. Its objectives are: (1) generate strong, long-lived magnetized shocks using Europe’s petawatt laser facilities (e.g., Apollon, ELI-NP, and OMEGA-EP); (2) develop a hybrid MHD–PIC code capturing the feedback between shocks, turbulence, and energetic particles, benchmarked against experiments; and (3) pioneer experiments directly coupling SNR-relevant shocks with laser-driven turbulence to probe their role in cosmic-ray acceleration.The results will provide quantitative parameters (e.g., injection rates, diffusion coefficients, spectral slopes) ready for astrophysical models, transforming our ability to test the diffusive shock acceleration paradigm. Beyond astrophysics, outcomes will advance plasma physics and contribute to fusion energy research.Hosted at INAF–OAPa under the supervision of Dr. Salvatore Orlando, the project offers Dr. Weipeng Yao access to world-class facilities, HPC resources, and international collaborations. His expertise in kinetic simulations and laser-plasma experiments ensures feasibility and innovation. Through IPLAST, Dr. Yao will gain multidisciplinary skills, expand his European network, an
