user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Biological Microswimmers for Cargo Delivery Systems: Modelling, Simulations and Experiments' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Bacteria, protozoa and microalgae have evolved mechanisms to self-propel. The interactions between different types of Biological Microswimmers (BM) are relevant in natural processes such as the regulation of carbon and oxygen biogeochemical cycles and the toxin releasing by phytoplankton blooms under certain environmental conditions, but also in development of technological applications due to the emergence of a collective behaviour and a spatio-temporal synchronization. BM have been used as transporters, showing promising results at carrying and releasing a cargo in a specified target. However, there is still a lack of sharp control of the collective movement of BM towards a target, which implies a poor delivery of the cargo at the desired place. This flaw comes from the fact that, in real scenarios, BM swim through complex porous media where interact with passive and active agents, and are subjected to external fields, such as light, concentration of chemicals and global background flow, that highly affect their motion and hinders its predictability. Up to date, the concomitant effects of confinement, external fields and interactions with other BM or active agents, have not been taken into account in current simulations or experiments. The proposed action, therefore, aims to develop a new computational approach that enables simulation of suspensions of interacting BM in complex confined environments, at the same time subjected to external fields, providing a platform to gain fundamental knowledge on the control of the collective behaviour of mixtures of BM under conditions compatible with the conceptual design of efficient cargo delivery systems. The simulation platform will be feedbacked and tested with experiments, in which suspensions containing phototactic (C. rei

user: Describe how 'Site-selective C(sp3)–H functionalization with gaseous reagents using Hydrogen Atom Transfer photocatalysis  in flow' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

An essential part of synthetic organic chemistry is the conversion of raw materials into highly complex molecules. While traditionally this has been achieved through conversion of functional groups, Nature has developed strategies to deliberately functionalize C–H bonds in organic molecules. Mimicking Nature’s machinery, chemists have developed a diverse set of powerful C–H bond functionalization strategies. However, undirected and selective C–H bond functionalization is still very challenging and it remains “a dream reaction” for the community. Herein, I propose a novel approach that combines both chemical and technological tools and is based on a continuous-flow photocatalytic Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT) that uses cheap decatungstate to activate these C(sp3)–H bonds selectively. Four different reaction classes will be developed which forge C=O, C–NO, C–SO2X and C–CO2H bonds using respectively O2, NO, SO2 and CO2 as cheap and atom-efficient reagents. All these methods provide useful functional handles which can be seamlessly engaged in other transformations. I will show that our methodology can be used to enable the late-stage diversification of bioactive molecules, establishing a new way of retrosynthetic thinking. Furthermore, I propose to exploit the intrinsic ability of HAT to abstract a hydrogen from volatile alkanes, such as methane, to generate the corresponding carbon-centered radicals. These nucleophilic radicals will be engaged in various cross-coupling transformations, including enantioselective variants. Moreover, I envision that a combination of continuous-flow, automation technology and machine learning will provide a much-needed technological impact, enabling the development of unique screening tools for the reproducible functionalization of organic mol

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Effects of Environmental Stressors on Antimicrobial activity in marine bivalve Molluscs (ESAM).' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The overall objectives of the project are to characterise the immune cells of the developmental stages of the mussel Mytilus edulis (galloprovincialis) and to develop nucleotide probes to antimicrobial peptides for investigating the expression of these antimicrobial peptides in the developmental stages of Mytilus. The project will also quantify the susceptibility of larvae to specific bacterial pathogens. The effects of environmental stressors on humoral and cellular immune function in developmental stages will be investigated and the cell/tissue specificity of the stressors identified. Finally, the project will establish whether environmental factors (temperature, specific environmental contaminants) increase the susceptibility of larvae to specific pathogens.STATE OF PROGRESSImmunocytochemical labelling with antibodies to adult haemocytes, total actin and Mytilus fibronectin has been carried out on larval and post larval mussels. Biochemical characterisation of actin and fibronectin in larval and post larval mussels has been carried out. The release of reactive oxygen metabolites by disaggregated trochophore and veliger larvae has been investigated. Nucleotide probes for the defence peptides, MGD-1, Mytilin, Myticin and 18S-ribosomal probe have been constructed and used to detect antimicrobial peptides in M. edulis at different developmental stages. Protocols for determining and quantifying the viability of larvae have been investigated using both staining and morphological criteria. Protocols for investigating the effects of bacterial pathogens on mussel larvae have been investigated.ACHIEVEMENTESThe results showed that actin from larvae and postlarvae was separated by SDS-PAGE and the Western immunoblot was labelled with anti-total actin, with the antibody recognisi

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Random fibre lasers for telecommunications and distributed sensing' (RANDFIELDS).

assistant: **Concept**

The proposed 4-year program of knowledge transfer and networking between 3 EU and 3 Russian partners with the world leading expertise targets an emerging area of ultra-long fibre lasers and random fibre lasers and their telecommunication and sensing applications. The goal of the proposed research is to establish an efficient and stable knowledge transfer mechanisms to improve project partners possibilities in designing, development and applications of new laser sources for advanced emerging applications in high-speed optical communication and distributed fibre-optic sensing. Training, knowledge transfer and exchange of skills in laser science, communications, sensing, laser systems and nonlinear science are important to provide EU teams with a cutting edge expertise that will allow project partners to ensure world leading positions. The proposed 3+3 consortium brings together world known groups with very complimentary expertise, techniques and skills directly relevant to the project goals. The objective of the proposed joint exchange programme is to establish long-term stable research cooperation between the partners with broad combined expertise and knowledge. The project objectives and challenges present a balanced mix between industrial application focused knowledge transfer and development and more far-looking studies for potentially ground-breaking applications of random fibre lasers for sensing and telecommunication applications.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Scenarios and Principles for Antiferromagnetic Recording: taming spins coherently and ultrafast' (SPARTACUS) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Thermodynamics tells us that controlling the magnetic state of media at increasingly higher rates and simultaneously consuming less energy are mutually exclusive. This fundamental dilemma has dramatic societal and environmental consequences as data centres are rapidly becoming the biggest consumers of electricity world-wide.SPARTACUS proposes to resolve this fundamental dilemma and thereby to inspire conceptually new technology for ultrafast, nearly non-dissipative data storage.State-of-the-art data storage and non-volatile memory are predominantly based on ferromagnets. Antiferromagnets possess much faster spin dynamics and can sustain bits writing even at THz rates. However, the lack of a net magnetization in thermodynamic equilibrium requires exceedingly strong magnetic fields to control their magnetic moments. This fact has significantly hindered not only applications, but even fundamental studies of antiferromagnetism.SPARTACUS aims to overcome this fundamental problem and achieve nearly non-dissipative and fastest writing of bits at write-rewrite rates surpassing the 1 THz landmark. Using spectrally and temporally tailored laser pulses to pump electronic and phononic states mediating efficient light-spin coupling, we will push dielectric antiferromagnets strongly out-of-equilibrium, and explore the susceptibility of spins to external stimuli in this non-equilibrium state. SPARTACUS will develop novel ultrafast magnetometers and reveal yet unexplored non-thermodynamic routes to coherently steer spins to a desired bit state. Coherence-mediated ultrafast mechanisms ensure reversible energy transfer to overcome the potential barrier between stable bit states, minimizing the increase of entropy and leading to vanishing heat load.Although SPARTACUS is fundamental in nat

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Shear Test for Thermally Sprayed coatings', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Adhesion between coating and substrate as well as cohesion within the coating are frequently the limiting factors of thermally sprayed coatings. Therefore well-defined testing methods for general quality control and optimization of the properties of thermally sprayed coatings are of great importance. So far this problem has not yet been solved satisfactorily. The pull-offtest standardized in EN 582 is mainly used to measure the adhesion between substrate and coating in addition to a visual evaluation of cross sections by light microscopy. This standardised test can hardly be applied by SMEs due to the rather costly equipment. Therefore a new test method shall be developed that requires much less effort in producing samples as well as preparing and carrying out the test. Out of the great number of possible test arrangement the shear test method has been selected. This type of testing seems to be best suited to meet the requirements. The aim of the cooperative RTD project is twofold: Firstly a highly reliable testing arrangement will be developed that is affordable for SMEs. Secondly recommendations for the standardization of the test method will be evaluated regarding in particular the specimen geometry. The test results will be compared with those obtained by the pull-off-test and other testing methods.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Novel polymer optical fiber sensors for structural engineering'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Optic fiber (OF) sensors have a widespread use in several industrial sectors, such as construction, wind energy and shipbuilding, to monitor both the structures’ manufacturing process and their overall condition throughout their use, thus improving their quality, reliability, safety and durability and reducing production and maintenance costs. Still, the available OF sensors are based in silica glass fibers which, due to their fragile nature, often fail in-use. In this sense, there is an unmet need for an OF sensor which can withstand the harsh conditions in which structures are manufactured and/or used.SHUTE has developed a novel polymer optic fiber (POF) sensor system that, due to its properties, can be used in a wide range of hard or soft engineering structures, such as concrete structures and composite materials, providing a real-time monitoring sensor system with higher sensibility to stress and strain, ability measure humidity and more mechanically robust to harsh environments. In addition, our POF sensor system can be tailored to fit other applications and market segments. Together with an unprecedent potential in multiple industrial segments, SHUTE’s POF holds important competitive advantages, such as flexibility and stretchability, sensitivity to humidity, higher sensitivity to stress and strain, and tailorable to user’s requirements. Nevertheless, to secure swift development and successful commercialization, SHUTE needs to partner with key stakeholders to demonstrate the POF sensor performance and reliability. In this context, we believe SME instrument will be crucial to position our POF sensor within the OF sensors market and to confirm the high economic value of our unique technology. The accomplishment of SME Phase1 and Phase 2 project objectives will maxim

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'ULtra-ThIck Multi-mAterial baTtery Electrodes' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Over the past decades, significant advances have been achieved in the performance of Li-ion batteries by the development of new active materials and better understanding of energy storage and degradation mechanisms. One aspect of batteries that has received little attention so far, is the form factor of the electrodes. However, simple changes in the battery architecture, such as increasing the coating thickness, allows to drastically decrease the relative fraction of dead volume in the battery (e.g. separators and current collectors). Theoretically, it is possible to replace a stack of ten standard 50 µm thick electrode coatings by one 500 µm thick coating. This would result in up to 30% savings in weight as well as volume of the battery, and would be transformative for both portable electronics and electrical vehicles. However, this is fundamentally challenging because of 1) slow ion diffusion through thick electrodes, 2) high electric resistance through the thickness of the electrode, and 3) cracking and flaking challenges during the fabrication of thick electrodes. This MSCA Fellowship is building on novel gel electrodes developed by the applicant, which can be moulded into 3D geometries that allow to move away from the current flat battery morphology and to address the above challenges with thick battery electrodes. During this Fellowship, the dynamics of ion and electron transport in thick 3D interdigitated electrodes will first be simulated. Then, the electrochemical performance of the gels will be optimised, in particular, a phase separation method to improve Li-diffusion will be optimised. Next, the thermal moulding process will be optimised to create interdigitated electrodes which will be tested in half and full cells. Finally, the proposed fabrication process

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'From biomass to catalysts and chemicals: exploiting blood and food waste towards high-value products.'.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of this proposal is to make universal and low-cost catalysts from industrial waste and apply them to biomass upgrading. To that end, we will make single atomic FeNx sites supported on carbon (FeNx@C) that have seen tremendous development in organic chemistry in the past 5 years. Indeed, they are active for both oxidations and reductions, and constitute promising substitutes for toxic, scarce and costly platinum-group metals (PGM). Yet major challenges remain in the field: first we need to find new routes to drastically lower the footprint of their synthesis. Here we will adopt a bio-inspired approach and use inexpensive hemoproteins as precursors: they naturally contain four pre-built FeNx sites (hemes) per unit. Hemoproteins can be extracted from blood in slaughterhouse waste. We will use the resulting catalysts for the upgrading of key biomass-derived platform molecules: 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), levulinic acid (LA), and other biomass-derived alcohols.The reductive and oxidative potency of FeNx@C will be first explored separately, then sequentially for alcohol direct conversion to amines. Due to their heterogeneous nature, FeNx@C catalysts can be readily transposed to continuous flow synthesis. With such promising technology, we will fully exploit biomass to both make new catalysts and perform large scale conversion of bio-based platform chemicals.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Intensive program for transfer of knowledge to Eastern European reference pole for micro- and nanotechnologies - NANOTEC-EST' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposal addresses the strategic objectives of the Marie Curie ToK scheme with the main emphasis on the faster integration of the Romanian research community into ERA. The important goal of the Marie Curie Actions is to cover with priority the needs of the Candidate States to develop new areas of competence in order to ensure the local capabilities to participate at the European effort to social-economic growth.The major objective of the project is to develop an intensive training program based on the ToK action to RTD and training platforms to be developed under the coordination of the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest in the NANOTEC-EST centre. As referring to the areas of research that will be open to researchers the transfer of knowledge action intends to focus its main activities to some directions that could valorize the existing experience and national traditions, as well as to new trends required by European integration, as follow: new nanostructured materials and systems, new intelligent miniaturized systems and quality control, biophotonics and lasers.One of the key actions of the project will be to enhance the process of transferring knowledge and expertise in nanosciences and nanotechnologies for industrial valorization more than to obtain a narrow specialization of the researchers involved. The content of project includes three main phases: ingoing, outgoing and return phase, involving both experienced and more experienced researchers belonging to the host (UPB) and nine partners: CEA-Grenoble, CEA-Paris, INPT-Toulouse, INEGI-Porto, TUD-Darmstadt, DTU-Lyngby, BUEHLER-Duseldorf, IFW-Dresden, TU-Delft.Some difficulties in recruitment of more experienced specialists are expected and a strong managerial program to overcome this aspect is proposed.
