Investigation of electron scattering on two-dimensional crystalline materials at very low energies focuses on detailed knowledge of electron scattering mechanisms and its practical consequences for very low energies are of fundamental importance not only for measurement techniques, but also for the development of new materials for next-generation electronic devices.

Electro-optic control of nanoobjects arrived at a new fundamental limit of current technology. Recent experiments in the nonlinear motion of nanoobjects levitating in optical traps and their ground-state cooling brought this field to the edge of classical physics phenomena understandable by stochastic trajectories. Modern electro-optical techniques, experimental development, and theory must be simultaneously developed to cross this fuzzy Classical- Quantum (CQ) border.

Encapsulation of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) in hydrogel carriers represents state-of-the-art in production of agricultural bioinoculants that are used to restore soil fertility and to enhance the yield of crops. The hydrogel matrix enhances bioinoculant performance by protecting the cells against various environmental stress factors that accompany its application, however, the encapsulation step provided by addition of an external gelation component reduces the economic feasibility of the bioinoculant production.

We propose a novel concept of a “Faraday’s scalpel”: an approach to deoxygenate brain tissue using electrocatalytic oxygen reduction and direct electrical currents. The hypothesis is that local hypoxia induced by the Faraday Scalpel electrode will selectively destroy neurons while preserving other cells, opening new possibilities for precise electrosurgery for conditions like epilepsy.

Project focuses on development of new microfluidic platform and related methodology that will enable carrying out correlative analysis of biological sample in dynamic environment of microfluidic chip using light microscopy, Raman spectroscopy (RS) and electron microscopy (EM). The chip will allow effective cryogenic fixation using high-pressure freezing (HPF) required to preserve biological structures at actual state.

The aim of the project is to develop a next-generation ALIS projection system that uses dynamic light pictograms to improve safety in the warehouse and manufacturing sectors and to optimise logistics routes and production processes. The projectors generating the pictograms will be controlled by an interactive hardware and software system. The great advantage of using light safety features in workplace safety and navigation is their scalability, innovative control and interactive communication method, e.g.

The main goal of the proposed project is an entirely new telemedicine product - the online prediction system AMPHORA for the remote therapy of patients with heart failure. The system will consist of two major components - the AMPHORA-Cloud application for data acquisition and handling and the AMPHORA-AI application for heart failure progression prediction, based on artificial intelligence methods.

The aim of Czech-BioImaging is to continue to develop a harmonized national network that coordinates the development of biomedical imaging, raises awareness of progressive imaging methods among the scientific, medical and application community, sets standardized open access to imaging devices and creates educational programs and courses for this field.
