- Project KELEGANS – Genetics and cell biology of K2P channelsRead more
The goal of KELEGANS project is to use comprehensive genetic and genomic screening strategies in the model nematode C. elegans to identify conserved factors and cellular processes that control the biology of two-pore domain potassium channels.
- Project CALENDS - Clusters And LENsing of Distant SourcesRead more
Some of the primary questions in extragalactic astronomy concern the formation and evolution of galaxies in the distant Universe. In particular, little is known about the less luminous (and therefore less massive) galaxy populations, which are currently missed from large observing surveys and could contribute significantly to the overall star formation happening at early times.
- Press realease Renewable energy : Nanotubes to channel osmotic powerRead more
The salinity difference between fresh water and salt water could be a source of renewable energy. However, power yields from existing techniques are not high enough to make them viable. A solution to this problem may now have been found.
