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.

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.

High-intensity particle physics experiments, such as those at MAMI in Mainz and at Jefferson Lab and Fermi Lab, are providing precision nucleon structure results in the search for new physics.

A molecular level understanding of skin permeation may rationalize and streamline product development and improve quality and control, of transdermal and topical drug delivery systems.

This is project meant to support the Smart-TURB ERC AdG (2021-2026) on Machine Learning applications to Eulerian and Lagrangian Turbulence.

Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets lose most of their mass by a few corridors of rapidly flowing ice.

The human ether-a-go-go (hERG) gene encodes the voltage-activated, potassium-selective channel that regulates the repolarisation phase in the cardiac action potential.

Electrochemical energy storage and conversion is one of the main challenges for energy transition. Electrocatalysis can play an important role by allowing to produce key chemical reagents using electricity production from renewable sources.

The question how solar storms impact a planet has both fundamental scientific importance and great social impacts for protecting our infrastructure from the most powerful solar storms.
