 TERMINÉ 
More than 150 years after the seminal works of Charles Darwin on speciation, we are beginning to unravel the genetic underpinnings of the splitting process (Ellegren H [..] JBW Wolf, Nature, in press). The genomic revolution is progressing at full speed, and for the first time in history we are equipped with the necessary tools to investigate the genomic architecture of speciation at base-pair res ...

Interfacing quantum states in carbon nanotube devices (QUANTUMCANDI)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

Coherent control and sensitive detection of quantum states in condensed matter are among the most topical challenges of modern physics. They drive the development of novel materials, theoretical concepts, and experimental methods to advance our understanding of fundamental laws of quantum mechanics and to create transformative technologies for future applications. During the past decades carbon ha ...

Optical Responses Controlled by DNA Assembly (ORCA)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,

Artificially constructed materials can be designed to shape the propagation of light and can thus exhibit optical characteristics that are not found in nature. With such metamaterials, remarkable optical applications such as cloaking of objects, sensing of molecular environments or the fabrication of perfect lenses that are not bound by optical resolution limits could be realised. However, for met ...

small RNA mediated heterochromatin formation in fission yeast (SMALLRNAHET)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2018,

Regulation of genome expression is essential for cell proliferation, differentiation, development and viability. Small RNA silencing pathways are involved in the cellular control of gene expression and in protection of the genome against mobile repetitive DNA sequences, retroelements and transposons. Small RNAs interact with target RNAs and promote chromatin modifications, translational inhibition ...

Attosecond tracing of collective dynamics in clusters and nanoparticles (ATTOCO)

Date du début: 1 juin 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,

Collective electron motion can unfold on attosecond time scales in nanoplasmonic systems, as defined by the inverse spectral bandwidth of the plasmonic resonant region. Similarly, in dielectrics or semiconductors, the laser-driven collective motion of electrons can occur on this characteristic time scale. Until now, such collective electron dynamics has not been directly observed on its natural, a ...

Fundamental Aspects of Strings and Gravity (STRINGS&GRAVITY)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,

The proposed ERC Advanced Grant “Strings&Gravity” is centered around string theory as a consistent theory of quantum gravity in the context of particle physics and cosmology. We are addressing several ground breaking and highly innovative questions about the structure of space and time and the nature of fundamental interactions at very short distances. In particular we are planning to investigate ...

Quantum Simulation of Many-Body Physics in Ultracold Gases (QUSIMGAS)

Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,

Ultracold atoms in an optical lattice constitute a clean, controlled and tunable implementation of many intractable models in condensed matter physics. In the long run, cold gas experiments may act as quantum simulators and shed new light on those models, and tell us to what extent the real material is described by the model. The prerequisite is, however, that those experiments are benchmarked an ...

 TERMINÉ 
Pharaonic Egypt is commonly known for its pyramids and tomb treasures. The present knowledge of Egyptian everyday life and social structures derives mostly from mortuary records associated with the upper classes, whereas traces of ordinary life from domestic sites are generally disregarded. Settlement archaeology in Egypt and Nubia (Ancient North Sudan) is still in its infancy; it is timely to str ...

Explosive Volcanism in the Earth System (EVOKES)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2017,

Volcanism, is a vital factor in the Earth system. Molten silicates are a major transport agent in the differentiation and interaction of lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Further, the immediate consequences of volcanic eruptions on all scales - local, regional and global - are issues of direct practical relevance to mankind as they are measured in lives, infrastructure and the e ...
