Sensitizing pathogens to antibiotics using the CRISPR-Cas system
The extensive use of antibiotics over the last century has resulted in a significant artificial selection pressure for antibiotic-resistant pathogens to evolve. Various strategies to fight these pathogens have been introduced including new antibiotics, naturally-derived enzymes/peptides that specifically target pathoge...

High Temperature Brillouin Scattering of Potassium Borate Glasses
High temperature elastic properties of potassium borate glasses, xK2O(100-x)B2O3 (x=4, 10, 14, 20, 28, and 34 mol %), have been investigated between 20 and 1100 °C by Brillouin scattering. Longitudinal sound velocity of the glasses changes only slightly up to the glass transition temperature (Tg), and, with further hea...

Memory Colours Affect Colour Appearance
Memory colour effects show that colour perception is affected by memory and prior knowledge and hence by cognition. None of Firestone & Scholl's (F&S's) potential pitfalls apply to our work on memory colours. We present a Bayesian model of colour appearance to illustrate that an interaction between perception and memor...

Magma-Assisted Tectonics: two-phase dynamics of oceanic and continental rifts
There is widespread recognition of the central role of magma at divergent plate boundaries. However in almost all models, magmatism is treated as a by-product and is excluded from the dynamics. A thorough understanding of continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges, which are fundamental to plate tectonics, requires consist...

Next-generation on-chip supercontinuum light sources based on graphene-enabled extreme nonlinear optics
With this ERC project I want to induce a paradigm shift in the development of integrated nonlinear optical devices. Nonlinear optics, the scientific discipline in which nonlinear light-matter interactions are studied, has been a very active area of research ever since the invention of the laser in 1960. Although this s...

Secondary CMB anisotropies from magnetized haloes
Magnetized plasmas within haloes of galaxies leave their footprint on the polarized anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background. The two dominant effects of astrophysical haloes are Faraday rotation, which generates rotation of the plane of linear polarization, and Faraday conversion, which induces a leakage from l...

Resolved Schmidt Kennicutt Relation For Star Forming Regions In The Galaxy And Magellanic Clouds
The relationship between star formation rate (SFR) and the gas surface density (Σgas) is one of the most critical links between star formation and galaxy evolution. The observed SFR- Σgas relation, the “Schmidt-Kennicutt (S-K) law”, is tight when properties are averaged over kpc, but breaks down at the scale of giant m...
