Ammonia (NH3) is widely used in agriculture, fertilizer production and chemical industry. The process of commercial NH3 production relies on the Haber-Bosch process that is energy-intensive and highly dependent on fossil fuels, and has with significant greenhouse gas emissions.

The first gravitational wave and electromagnetic (EM) observation of a merging binary neutron star (BNS) in 2017 demonstrated that such systems can launch powerful relativistic jets and, in turn, produce short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs).

Cobalt (Co) is the key constituent of hard metal composites that are indispensable for advanced machining tools. Despite its use for over one hundred years, there is a strong interest in finding equivalent alternatives.

This proposal aims to support assessment of cloud feedbacks and climate sensitivity, as part of the the ongoing H2020 project Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems (NextGEMS).  Cloud response to climate change remains a primary uncertainty and challenge in future climate projection.

Galaxies and the gas surrounding them are turbulent and multiphase, i.e., colder (< 10^4 K) gas is embedded in a much larger, volume filling hot (≳ 10^6 K) phase, and regulates the fuel supply for star formation and black hole growth.

It is widely acknowledged that the prediction of turbulent flows in the presence of separation is one of the most significant challenges in fluid dynamics.

Although current Earth system models (ESMs) project a consistent pattern of future global warming, there are important regional differences that increase the uncertainty at the local scale, which poses a risk for climate adaptation.

Large language models (LLMs) are at the core of the current AI revolution, and have laid the groundwork for tremendous advancements in Natural Language Processing.

Understanding how merging binary neutron stars (BNSs) can launch powerful relativistic jets and, in turn, produce short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) remains a major theoretical challenge.
