| Annotation: | The aim of NanoSpace is to determine the abundance, formation mechanisms and astrochemical role of carbonaceous nanoparticles in space. Carbon is ubiquitous in space; from small carbon and hydrocarbon molecules to fullerenes and large but currently unidentified polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carbonaceous dust particles and ultimately life. The clear identification of C60 in the interstellar medium and around planetary nebulae has provided us with a tangible key to unlock the mysteries and complexities of cosmic carbon. We will exploit this opportunity through the synergistic combination of expertise from observational astronomy, laboratory astrophysics, spectroscopy, molecular reaction dynamics, theoretical chemistry, data science, synthetic chemistry, material science and astrobiology. This Action will provide a common basis for the different communities to interact and learn from each other, training a new generation of researchers with the laboratory, theoretical, observational and numerical skills to drive the field forward. The leading role of European researchers in this new field will be enhanced by integrating teams from ITC and involving and enabling early career researchers to take leading roles. The potential of current and upcoming observational satellites and large-scale user facilities will be fully exploited to understand the formation and astrochemical consequences of complex cosmic nano-carbons. NanoSpace will have a significant legacy, delivering the scientific community with a structured database containing relevant information on nano-carbons for use in future projects, providing new tools and knowledge to unravel key mysteries in astrochemistry and a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers with valuable translational skills to drive socioeconomic development. |

| Project leader: | Mgr. Hvizdošová Annušová Adriana PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project is focused on R&D of new unusual and progressive polymer composites usable in 3D printing. The main goal of the project is to study and improve the compatibility of fillers (waste materials/hemp fibers, volcanic dust, etc., MoOx nanoparticles, metallurgical silicon) with polymer matrices, either biodegradable (polylactic acid, polycaprolactone) or synthetic (polyethylene terephthalate glycol). The material will be prepared in the form of filaments for 3D printing, characterized by many physicochemical methods, and also directly on commercial 3D printers. Given that half of the monitored fillers are unwanted waste accumulating in the environment, the project will also help to process such material and its economic use. These fillers will enable much cheaper production of the final product, reduction of consumption of materials, energy, recycling, etc. The production of such composites is a response to the demand of the european industry, the protection of the environment, and natural resources. |
ZERO - Zero-excess solid-state lithium batteries
Bezanódové tuholátkové lítiové batérie
| Duration: | 1. 7. 2023 - 31. 12. 2026 |
| Evidence number: | APVV-22-0132 |
| Program: | APVV |
| Project leader: | Ing. Nádaždy Vojtech CSc. |
| Annotation: | The zero-excess solid-state battery (SSB) concept, also known as an anode-free battery, where the anode is formed in-situ at the interface between solid-state electrolyte (SSE) and current collector (CC), is preferred due to additional energy density gain, reduction in material and cell production costs, and simplification of recycling. In addition, the lower amount of Li required reduces Li supply problems and the likelihood of undesirable reactions. This concept has already been demonstrated for liquid cells, and recently the first zero-excess SSBs (ZESSBs) have been demonstrated. Nevertheless, ZESSB technology is still in its infancy due to the inherent challenges related to the in-situ formation of Li anode, which limits battery performance. To infer knowledge-based optimization strategies, a deeper understanding of the fundamental processes involved during anode formation at the interface between SSE and CC is required. The central hypothesis of ZERO project is that by real-time monitoring of Li deposition rate, wetting and/or alloying, and mechanical stress at the SSE/CC interface, we can optimize and tailor SSBs providing higher capacity and cycling lifetime. This can be achieved by controlling charge/discharge currents, appropriate alloy-forming interlayers, and managing internal stresses by external loads. The main aim of ZERO project is to develop optimal alloy-forming interlayers and charging strategies to achieve the high capacity and cycling lifetime of ZESSBs. This will be enabled and connected with the developing and/or updating methodologies that will facilitate experimental monitoring and a better conceptual understanding of the growth phenomena involved in the formation of the Li anode in ZESSBs. To this end, we will develop novel laboratory and synchrotron techniques to explore ZESSB-related phenomena under in operando conditions. |

Resource Efficient Algorithms for Quantum Computers in NISQ Era

| Evidence number: | 2/0055/23 |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | doc. RNDr. Plesch Martin PhD. |
| Annotation: | Conventional supercomputers seem to be outpaced by increasing demand for computational power when developing new drugs, modeling nanoparticles or assessing problems in materials science and nuclear physics. Quantum computers are expected to provide exponentially growing power thanks to their use of quantum effects and indications of so-called quantum advantage have been demonstrated. Unfortunately, the current capabilities of quantum computers are rather limited by numerous issues. Because of them, the quantum computing performed nowadays is described as the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. Currently the most promising algorithms for practical purposes are hybrid algorithms, where only part of calculation is performed by a quantum computer. An example of such an algorithm, is the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), which calculates the smallest eigen-value of an input matrix. Within this project we aim to develop resource efficient methods of VQE that would work on existing quantum computers. |

SUPERSPIN - Superconducting spintronics and emergent phenomena in low/dimensional superconductors
Emergentné javy a spintronika supravodičov v systémoch s redukovanou dimenziou
| Duration: | 1. 5. 2022 - 30. 4. 2027 |
| Evidence number: | IM-2021-26 |
| Program: | IMPULZ |
| Project leader: | doc. Mgr. Kochan Denis PhD. |
| Annotation: | From a broader perspective the Superconducting spintronics is vastly expanding field that strives to utilize spintronics phenomena and transfer its applications into the realm of superconductivity. While the latter can support dissipation-less charge transport, and also topologically protected (e.g. Majorana) modes, the former can make use of electron spin for encoding and processing information. For these reasons, one may hope to launch a spin-driven superconducting device that would be, on one hand, very efficient in terms of energy demands, and on the other hand, would offer computational functionalities operating on quantum principles. The beauty of the above idea rests in its simplicity, but as always, devil is hidden in details. To bring such spintronics vision into an operating platform one would need superconducting materials that promote unconventional pairing of electrons into Cooper pairs. Unfortunately, Nature does not give us “free of charge” unconventional superconductors with all those wonderful properties. However, it offers us, instead, “smaller pieces of material-lego” that when being proximitized along each other engender the “scaffolded synthetic hybrid systems” owning effective unconventional pairing (and even much more). Such proximity effects, which are central to my proposal, represent a versatile platform to 1) control and functionalize spin, orbital, topological and magnetic properties of the constituting subsystems by external means – gating, temperature gradients, chemical composition, band structure engineering etc.; and 2) synthetize quasi-2D interfaces promoting an unconventional superconducting pairing and them associated topological bound states (Majoranas, Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states, Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon vortex states, etc.). From the specific point of views, my research ambitions within this programme count particularly two scientific projects: (A) Spin relaxation phenomena in low-dimensional (un)conventional superconductors, and (B) Topological states engineered through proximity effect – superconductivity on the edge. |

Phenomenological modeling of particle structure

| Evidence number: | 2/0084/25 |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Bartoš Erik PhD. |
| Annotation: | Recent measurements at accelerators with high intense colliding beams place great emphasis on the accurate evaluation of observables. In order to describe the particle structure eruditely, it is necessary to have a suitable model that is consistent with the measured data. Not all theoretical models dealing with electromagnetic structure give a plausible description. It turns out that models based on various analytical properties of the S-matrix, unitarity, causality, locality of interactions, and other assumptions posses such capabilities. The project goal is to investigate the electromagnetic structure of selected particles from the perspective of a model that has these properties builtin. The second project goal will be evaluation of observables in terms of the covariant quark model for heavy meson decays, focusing specifically on those decays that have the potential to contribute to explain the physics behind the Standard Model and are also will be the subject of research at current accelerators. |
NanoGlow - Nanoengineered Trojan hybrid for site-responsive phototherapy of recurrent glioblastomas
Fototerapia rekurentných glioblastómov s nádorovo špecifickým trójskym hybridom optimalizovaným na nano-úrovni
| Duration: | 1. 9. 2024 - 30. 6. 2028 |
| Evidence number: | APVV-23-0535 |
| Program: | APVV |
| Project leader: | Ing. Jergel Matej DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive types of cancer and is generally always fatal. Recurrence after initial eradication is extremely high and tumors appear locally with increased resistance to therapy. Locally mediated photothermal therapy is a highly promising treatment option for glioblastoma. It allows the destruction of the tumor using heat as a drug-free tumor treatment, thus bypassing glioblastoma heterogeneity, blood-brain barrier limitations, and conventional drug resistance mechanisms, without affecting the surrounding healthy tissues. Implantable or injectable hydrogel matrices are able to transport therapy agents to the tumor site and unload upon stimuli. Although there are numerous studies describing such structures for glioblastoma treatment, they mainly focus on more efficient local drug or immunotherapy mediator’s delivery. Moreover, up until now, these studies lacked detailed nanoscale investigation of nano-bio conjugates’ properties and activity on a fundamental nano-level. The NanoGlow project aims to develop i) functional “Trojan horse” hydrogels with embedded photothermal nanoparticle conjugates, ii) validated in vitro and iii) complemented with state-of-the-art structural and chemical mapping at the nanoscale. Photothermal, pH-responsive MoOx nanoparticles will be conjugated with tumor-homing RGD peptides and embedded in nontoxic, biodegradable poly-(2-oxazoline)- and bio-sourced Tulipalin A-based matrices. Near-field nanoscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy Force Spectroscopy, and Confocal Raman Microscopy of nanoconjugate-hydrogel superstructures and in vitro samples will characterize nanoscale related phenomena observable at the macroscale. NanoGlow’s unique nano-to-macro approach will provide a basis for the application of the proposed hybrid structures in the fight against complex and hard-to-treat glioblastomas. |

| Annotation: | The project focus is preparation and implementation of the concept of substitution of existing equilibrium Wyckoff crystallographic positions in known equilibrium crystalline lattice by different types of majority metal atoms consisting of a set of 3-5 additional/other suitable atoms. These atoms, so-called HEA atoms, will be selected in accordance with the principle of High Entropy Alloys (HEA) or compounds e.g. ceramics, dielectrics or oxides, to form a similar, mutually shared crystallographic structure with lattice parameters comparable to those of the original equilibrium unit cell and are inserted for the purpose of controlled optimization of physical properties of the system. Objects of application of such concept will be alloys derived from classical known HEA but also systems forming metallic glasses of metal-metalloid type, porous catalytic materials, selected ceramics based on carbides and borides or oxides, using possibility to prepare systems in non-equilibrium state via different cooling rates. |

| Annotation: | Solid-state batteries hold immense potential to revolutionize energy storage due to their high energy density and enhanced safety. However, realizing their full potential necessitates deeply understanding their dynamic behavior during operation. To this end, this project aims to develop and refine operando techniques to track critical parameters, such as phase changes, chemo-mechanical stresses, and interfacial resistances, in real time. Specifically, we will focus on two key techniques: operando X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and operando Galvanostatic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (GEIS). We will develop a scanning laboratory XRD technique utilizing a microfocus X-ray source (Ag Kα). This approach will allow us to monitor phase changes and chemo-mechanical stresses with a spatial resolution of 0.1 mm and temporal resolution in minutes. Furthermore, by superimposing GEIS on charging/discharging currents, we will enable real-time monitoring of impedance changes at a wide range of time scales, from nanoseconds to seconds. This methodology will provide an efficient testbed for advanced operando battery characterization at synchrotron facilities, supported by the ongoing EU Horizon projects OPERA and SEATBELT. It will also facilitate collaborations at the European free-electron X-ray laser through the EU Horizon project UltraBat, ensuring high scientific excellence and innovation. |

Shape coexistence in atomic nuclei

| Project leader: | Mgr. Herzáň Andrej PhD. |
| Annotation: | The manifestation of shape coexistence in nuclei with one closed shell was recognized already forty years ago. It is likely to occur in all nuclei. If it was possible to perform shell-model calculations in a sufficiently large space, intruder states and their deformations should appear. Currently, such calculations are not generally possible. Experimentally, we observe real structures characterized by E2 transitions, with different quadrupole moments and reduced transition strengths, i.e., B(E2) values. To determine the B(E2) values from the measured data, it is necessary to know the lifetimes of the respective excited states and the branching ratios of the corresponding electromagnetic transitions. In the project, we will focus on the experimental determination of these quantities in stable nuclei near Z = 20, 50, for which it is possible to perform measurements with ultrahigh statistics. At the same time, we will continue the research program focused on the systematic study of neutron-deficient odd-mass Au. |

| Annotation: | Entanglement is an amazing resource that can enable various applications and is at the heart of many fields of research. The goal of this project is to design, build and engineer several photon pair sources in order to investigate ways to design and improve new protocols for quantum communication, to develop new QKD prototype solutions for a national testbed, to demonstrate quantum advantage in quantum sensing applications or simply to study the fundamental nature of entanglement. To this end we will use the latest technologies in order to build state-of-the-art photon pair sources and push forward with integrated photonics to get innovative and lower footprint devices. |
