BactoHealing - Bio-Kin-Tsugi as a trans-disciplinary tool to bridge science and society and challenge the ethics of synthetic biology Ghent University
BactoHealing interweaves various fields to explore the idea of Kin Tsugi with living matter and research the ethical implications of biotechnology. Inspired by the ancient Japanese craft to mend ceramics with gold or silver, we propose re-evaluating the concept of repair and introducing bioengineering technologies for growing a “scar” of biomatter – with the help of fungus and bacteria – over the cracks. This novel interpretation of Kin Tsugi ...

Sensitivity Upgrade at High Magnetic Field for NMR Based Science in the Next Decade. Ghent University
A cryogenically cooled PRODIGY 5mm TCI cryoprobe with 60 G.cm-1 Z-gradient coil and automatic tuning & matching, operating from -40° to +80°C and compatible with the 700 MHz equipment at the heart of the high-resolution NMR technology platform at UGent. It includes:
1) a cryoprobe with cryogenically cooled 1H/2H/19F & 13C coils - the main channel can be tuned to either 1H or 19F. A room temperature 15N coil allows 1H, ...

Rational design of mesoporous boron nitride adsorbents for the removal of emerging organic pollutants from water. Ghent University
Porous boron nitride is, due to Porous boron nitride is, due to its unique physical and chemical properties, a very promising adsorbent. Moreover, by using a sustainable and economically attractive synthesis, it can become a competitor for the widely used activated carbon. This synthesis will be systematically optimized with respect to its material characteristics, such as specific surface area, pore volume and diameter, and functional ...
Modelling of the electrical and thermal transport mechanisms in graphene nano-modified polymer compounds and fibres (GraSage). KU Leuven
Graphene has been subject to tremendous research in the field of polymer based composite materiaIs as evidenced by a large number of publications in the last few years. However, no qualitative and quantitative models of the interactions between graphene and the surrounding polymer are currently available. The lack of knowledge about structural formation in nanocomposites impedes the development of high performance graphene-modified fibre ...
Magnetic resonance equipment for advanced materials research: molecular characterization of solid, soft, homogeneous and heterogeneous matter in the development of advanced functional materials and chemical catalysis Ghent University
Voor het ontwerpen van nieuwe materialen via chemische synthese is de karakterisering ervan tot op moleculair niveau van cruciaal belang voor hun praktische ontwikkeling en uiteindelijk hun valorisatie in nieuwe toepassingen. De 22 leden van dit consortium zijn allen betrokken in de ontwikkelen van nieuwe materialen hetzij in vaste of zachte toestand, homogeen dan wel heterogeen van aard, in de context van onderzoeksgebieden die zich ...
