ECOGEN - Ecosystem change and species persistence over time: a genome-based approach

Will Arctic-Alpine species and ecosystems be capable of withstanding both direct human impacts and ongoing climate change? To address this critical question, we developed and utilized high-throughput genetic techniques to reconstruct the temporal dynamics of species and ecosystem assemblages, cap...

Measuring and Understanding Visual Appearance

Humans have the amazing capability to identify which material an object is made of, just by looking at it (for instance metal, plastic, rubber, wood, glass, or textile). In addition, also based only on its visual appearance, we can often evaluate key properties of the material, such as if it is f...

Oxide based intermediate band materials

In this project, we developed new materials for so-called intermediate band solar cells, in a new way. The materials were studied both theoretically and experimentally. The project was based on existing theoretical results which showed that a intermediate-band solar cell based on titanium dioxid...

Encoding of non-spatial information in the hippocampus

The expression of fear in appropriate situations is critical for survival, and the ventral hippocampus has been identified as necessary for context-dependent fear responses. However, the specific contribution of this region is still unclear. In order to evaluate whether ventral hippocampus contr...
