  2. Unclonable functions in semiconductors PUFFIN – 284833FET Open STREP - End: 31/01/15 The project goal To provide a way of uniquely identifying semiconductor components and a source of a secret key for computer security applications How? • Values of memory cells in a chip at power-up have repeatable properties which can be used to create a "fingerprint" • Microscopic manufacturing differences cause variations between dies on the same wafer • This chip "fingerprint" can be used as a secret key or trust anchor to secure mass-market applications • Many (but not all) chips can use this technology. Some have too little random data. Impact on Technology – new components for security in PCs, phones, IoT…. Society – protection against counterfeiting, added security for mass-market applications Innovation – partner Intrinsic ID won the innovation radar prize in 2016

  3. Neurocontrolled bidirectional prosthesis NEBIAS – 611687Proactive STREP - Start: 01/11/13 The project goal To develop a robotic hand for use by an amputee that is naturally controlled by the patient's nerves and provides a sense of touch (so bidirectional). How? • Long term research: uses results from CYBERHAND (FP5), NEUROBOTICS (FP6) and TIME (FP7) • New materials being tested for long term implants in patients • Electrodes tested on 2 amputees so far • H/W has been developed to decode/encode peripheral nerve signals in real time • Wireless link used to connect implanted electronics to external signal processing and robotic hand. Impact on Science – interfacing, decoding and encoding peripheral nerve signals Technology – new hardware for chronic implants Society – restores functionality to amputees, alleviates phantom limb pain

  4. Redesigning 2D Materials for the Formulation of Semiconducting Inks 2D-INK – 664878FET Open RIA - Start: 01/01/16 The project goal Explores radically new manufacturing and processing technologies for novel 2D semiconducting materials How? • Proof-of-Principle of covalent organic frameworks (COF)-based inks that exceed the current limits of graphene-based inks. • Stablishing Precursor synthesis and assembly protocols • Developing localised distortions of the planar aromatic framework • Formulating inks from dispersions of stable monolayers to enable low-cost processing. • COF inks will be evaluated against state-of-the-art semiconducting inks Impact on Science - framework to encourage creativity in the synthesis of COF Technology - realisation of ultra-thin, transparent and flexible electronic devices Society - new 2D semiconductors will create new materials

  5. Magnetically actuated bio-inspired metamaterials ABIOMATER - 665440FET Open RIA - Start: 01/11/15 The project goal To create a new class of magnetically actuated soft metamaterials, as a basis for novel micro and macro-mechanical devices. How? (B) (A) • Implementing and demonstrating a microscopic version of magnetic micromotors(A) • Developing and exploring magneto elastic membranes based on the microscopic motors (B) • Building prototypes: 3D microfluidic constructs, microfluidic pump, cell growth templates, tuneable optic/photonic materials and artificial muscle analogues. (C) Impact on (C) • Tissue engineering– regenerative medicine • Microfluidics - disposable chips for diagnostics and chemical analysis, micropumps, microstirrers and microvalves.

  6. Artificial photosynthesis for fuels and chemicals A-LEAF - 732840Proactive RIA - Start: 01/01/2017 The project goal To create an artificial photosynthesis device that uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into fuels and other chemicals, mimicking the action of plant leaves. How? • Theoretical and experimental studies of CO2/water reactions at surfaces to make fuels • Optimisation of results and transfer to photo-electrochemical cells • Scaling up results in a photoelectrocatalytic device • Rare and/or expensive materials will be avoided Impact on • Science– photovoltaic materials and surface chemistry • Technology – photoelectrocatalytic devices for solar energy capture • Society – potential for a carbon-neutral fuel cycle using conventional hydrocarbon fuels.

  7. Volumetric medical x-ray imaging at extremely low dose VOXEL - 665207FET Open RIA - Start: 01/06/15 The project goal To provide an alternative to tomography with a disruptive technology enabling 3D X-ray imaging at very low dose. How? • Translation of Light Field Camera (G. Lippmann, 1908) technology from visible spectrum to X-ray domain • Use of synchrotron radiation (much brighter) than X-rays • Prototyping a "water window" microscope and hard X-ray cameras and develop novel 3D image reconstruction algorithms. Left, raw X-ray radiography, middle: orthoslice from tomographic reconstruction, right: segmented 3D reconstruction of schizosaccharomyces pombe. The image is about 4x12 μm2.Credit: McDermott et al, Trends in Cell Biology (2009) Impact on • Revolution in medical imaging - disruptive approach to tomography (3D against 2D data acquisition) • Mitigation of harmful impacts on human health - huge reduction of doses of (harmful) ionizing irradiation in medical imaging • High quality images preserving much more information - highly improved and much quicker diagnosis

  8. Towards a nuclear clock with Thorium-229 nuClock - 664732FET Open RIA - Start: 01/06/15 The project goal Development of a scientific clock that reaches a much higher precision compared to the best clocks that are operated today Impact on How? • Science –the 229Th isomer state will be accessible to direct laser manipulation. • Technology– Th-based clocks  simpler, smaller, cheaper, more robust, smaller uncertainty. • Society– Global positioning. Communication and navigation. Satellite and space missions, sensors in geodesy and precise timing. • Identification and characterization of the 229Th isomer transition. • Development of trapping and cooling techniques for 229Th ions together with solid-state approaches to furnish thorium ensembles for direct laser spectroscopy.
