Abstract:
Quantum systems of ultracold neutral gases have opened up a new field of physics with manyfascinating perspectives for a real quantum design of cold matter and applications in fields like
quantum informations science, quantum sensors, quantum-nanostructuring that are only partly
foreseen now. The goal of this integrated project is to introduce new coherent interaction
mechanisms to extend the abilities of quantum control in those systems. The most prominent ones
are interference, fundamental symmetries for identical particles and the concept of entanglement
for distinguishable particles. The integrated project will allow in joint tasks the study and extension
of these mechanisms in order to dramatically extend the abilities of the physics of cold quantum
gases for basic science and applications.

Abstract:
At the heart of more than 80% of industrial processes lie dynamic, reactive nanostructured catalysts
which choreograph reactions at the nanoscale. As the global and European perspective shifts
towards clean manufacturing and, ultimately, reducing waste-to-product ratios to zero, the key
challenge for 21st century catalysis is to achieve total atom control and 100% selectivity (cleanmanufacturing) at low temperatures (energy efficient). This Integrated Project will mobilise a

Abstract:
This integrated project will use two model self-assembling surface structures found in bacteria,
spore coats and S-layers, as tools to develop one aspect of bio-nanotechnology. Thirty nine groupswill participate. This will include seven from associated states, one 3rd state and ten SMEs. We
propose to decipher the structure and function of these surface structures at the molecular and
atomic level. This will require advanced and high-tech skills including imaging and structure
analysis together with accompanying software analysis/development as well as basic biological
skills. Our five-year plan will also address applied questions of whether we can build
nano-structures, both for potentially important therapeutic purposes such as drug/vaccine delivery
to advanced questions of biosynthesis, protective coatings and nano-sensor applications.

Abstract:
The ability to organize multiple biomolecules on surfaces with resolutions form the micron to the
nanometer is crucial for the development of biologically integrated devices and hybrid
biomaterials. Our approach is based on the fact that the precision-engineered surfaces ofbio-devices must be designed and constructed at the molecular level and organized at the
nanometer scale, in order to control adhesion and minimize non-specific interactions of biological
molecules with the surfaces.
The present proposal aims thus at developing and studying nanopatterned biochemical interfaces
for the controlled adsorption and orientation of proteins on surfaces. The idea is to combine surface
topography chemistry and functional spacers to produce hybrid nanopatterned surfaces leading to a
controlled biochemical response. The applications developed will be a set of biochemical
compounds for pharmaceutical industry, new generation of hybrid biomaterials, biosensors and
nano-arrays for functional proteomics. The project team is composed of 25 scientific and industrial
partners specialists of medicine, biology, biochemistry, pharmaceutics, materials science andnanotechnology.

Abstract:Biomaterials are at the core of all the current biomedical devices and at the intersection of basic
research, engineering and medical sciences. In the engineered tissues the biomaterial acts as a
scaffold, guides the new tissue, and then disappear. The novel and extremely important aspect is to
engineer them at the nanoscale and use them to guide tissue formation and repair in accordance
with the biological, chemical and physical cues of the surface. Nanoarchitecture is also important
for biocompatibility where success depends on the implant tissue interactions. Molecular
imprinting and photolithography have to be adapted for use with the labile biological systems. In
this study nanostructuring modification of biomaterials for tissue engineering and other biomimetic
applications will be developed and applied to a group of tissues (cartilage, skin, ocular tissue and
bone).

Abstract:
Product and process reliability is one of the major bottlenecks for the development, manufacturing
and usage of microelectronics and microsystems. This is expected to become an even greaterproblem in the future due to the ongoing trend in miniaturisation towards the nano-scales and
further function integration. The available knowledge, techniques, and tools cannot cope with
these trends thereby seriously affecting the competitive strength of European industry due to high
development costs, long time-to-market, and poor reliability of manufacturing processes and end
products. The current project aims at solving the major reliability problems by developing
breakthrough approaches (fundamental knowledge, methodologies and tools) of design for
reliability that enable European electronic industries to predict, evaluate and optimise the product
and process behaviour and reliability prior to qualification tests and major manufacturing
investments.

Abstract:
The use of graphite in commercial battery production is well established playing a role as a
conductive element or more recently as a structure for the intercalation of both positive and
negative species. Nanotubules open the possibility of their use in both conductive and intercalative
roles. A cost-effective treatment that enhanced the metallic character of nanotubules mixture
would be of benefit in the production of Alkali and MnO2/Li cells. Whereas a method of
enhancing either the p or n semiconductive character of mixtures would provide a useful feedstock
for self-assembly onto microcircuits to form optical displays and arrays of transistors etc. It is
proposed to explore chemical methods of matrix modification using both chiral and
self-assembling molecules to preferentially modify the electronic nature of the nanotubule.

Abstract:
Platinum group metal catalysts (PGMCs) are widely used in vehicle catalytic convertors, industrial
processes and fuel cells (FC). In the future FCs may power vehicles, portable equipment and
buildings. PGMCs results in reduced operating costs, reduced environmental emissions and
improved energy efficiency. They are, however expensive. Nanosize PGMC powders by virtue of
their small particle size and their extremely large surface areas per unit mass could be a solution
since catalysis is a surface phenomenon. Nanopowders respond differently to normal physical and
chemical forces and often exhibit novel or unusual behaviour, which can lead to innovative ways of
developing processes and materials. If they can be produced and used in nanopowder form
substantial improvements in catalytic efficiency and reductions in cost for product manufacturers
and end users could be realised.

Abstract:
As genome projects deliver more potential drug targets, so industry now requires better
assays for pharmaceutical "lead" compounds. Likewise, as biology now enters this
"post-genomic era", so key fundamental questions arise in how to define the role of the40% of newly identified genes that have no known function. Consequently, there is both
a need and an opportunity to develop new micro and nanosystems technologies that can
measure integrated biological processes "downstream", within living cells. We therefore
propose that the synergy between microsystems, electronics and biology is now sufficiently
mature that it can deliver a diversity of novel platforms that will enable exciting advances,
currently being realised in bionanotechnology, to be fully integrated into an industrial context,
providing a series of new, enabling tools.

Abstract:Nanoporous materials, including zeolites, ordered mesoporous materials, activated carbons,activated carbon fibres and metal organic framework materials are either used extensively or have
potential use in many processes such as pollutant removal, gas separation and purification, storageof gases, for example, H2 and CH4, electrochemical energy storage, catalysts and catalystsupports, nano-structured systems etc. The properties of these materials are determined by theirsurface chemistry and porous structure. Tailoring of the porous structure for specific applicationsis necessary for optimisation of their performance. Thus, the characterisation of these properties, interms of understanding the adsorption and transport phenomena in the nanoporosity, is essential for
the design of new and improved materials. A reliable characterisation of the nanoporous materialsrequires the implementation of different experimental techniques, methods and theoreticalapproaches, which can be achieved by the integration of the expertise of selected research groups

Abstract:
Measurements are the backbone of research and development and are indispensable in production.
There is a lack of repeatable, traceable measurement methods for the characterization ofdimensional quantities of nanosystems and a lack of co-ordination between existing very widely
spread activities. This network of excellence will address the problems by carrying out joint
research and development in the field of measurement methods and instruments, calibration
methods and reference artefacts; will establish measurement and calibration guidelines, will
support international standardization efforts and will create a sustainable integration by way of
suitable actions. The research activities will address topics like: dimensions of single structures and
structured surfaces - texture / roughness of surfaces - surface form - thickness of layers -
nanohardness and nanoforce.

Abstract:
Optics and interferometry using matter waves (atom, molecules and neutrons) has developedconsiderably during the last few years. In this domain, the European research community has
produced many recent impressive results. Being at the intersection of atomic, molecular andoptical physics with condensed matter physics, this subject is at the same time a frontier offundamental physics and rich with promising applications : from the results already obtained, onecan foresee a radical technological shift towards quantum devices, new atomic clocks, atom lasers,etc, with applications in various domains : nanoscience and nanodevices (manipulation of atomsand molecules), space (time measurement, navigation devices), information (quantum informationexperiments). The proposed network will develop the connections and collaborative actions in thiscommunity, on fundamental issues as well as for applications.

Abstract:
Most important infectious diseases all over the world are out of control due to several factors,
namely the lower efficacy of available drugs and vaccines and the increasing emergence of
pathogen resistant strains. The goal of this project is to improve the efficiency of anti-infective
drugs and synthetic analogues by targeting them in vivo to the infected organs. This STRATEGY
will be fullfilled by means of using drugs immobilized in appropriate COLLOIDAL DRUG
DELIVERY SYSTEMS (CDDS) instead of naked drugs. The novel drugs will be specifically
designed to increase their association with tailor made CDDS that will, in turn, direct them to the
sites of infection.The in vivo behaviour of free and immobilized drugs will be studied (toxicity,

Abstract:
Combinatorial catalysis has recently been used for optimizing catalysts prepared with conventional
techniques such as: impregnation, coprecipitation and mechanical mixture of active powders. The
grafting of reactive molecules, such as metal alkoxides and/or metallorganic compounds on the
surface of suitable supports allow to obtain highly dispersed catalysts in the form of both metalsand oxides that are able to give better activities and selectivities in many reactions of industrial
interest. The catalysts preparation procedures using the grafting technique are not yet optimized
expecially when more than one active element is involved. The use of the recently proposed
combinatorial investigation method can significantly accelerate the discover of a new generation of
more active and selective nanodispersed catalysts.

Ultra-high-performance computers coupled with the development of new methodologies tointegrate quantum mechanics into classical simulation make computer simulation a most powerful
approach for addressing complex problems in nanoscience. The Network will develop a nanoscale
simulation toolkit that will include: (i) Basic algorithms to improve the timescale of a simulation
by at least three orders of magnitude. (ii) New classical -quantum embedding techniques for open
systems (iii) Software optimisation for large-scale simulations in a multiprocessor GRID
environment. (iv) Simulations linking nano and meso scales to enable undestanding of the control
of nanoscale phenomea. The Network will use the CCP5 project (which has 20 years experience in
linking simulation groups and 400 European members) both as a model and as a basis to build
critical mass for this Network.

Abstract:
The present expression of interest proposes the formation of a network of excellence in order to
develop statistical-mechanics based simulation techniques for the quantitative description ofseveral classes of soft condensed matter systems. We aim to pool the complementary expertise of
the participating groups to make progress towards a hierarchical description of a non-equilibrium (
living ) multi-component systems of biomolecules, starting from the scales of covalent bonds up to
scales of micrometers, and correspondingly the characteristic times of the various processes
spanning many decades. The basic goal is to provide us with computational tools allowing a
general understanding of the physical phenomena occuring in the complex mesoscopic systems
which are parts of the living cell.

Abstract:
Conductivity, dielectric, captures, catalytic and some other properties of heteropolyacid compaunds
in the forme of nanosolids could be improved. The above mentioned characteristic would be
studied by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction method (XRD), transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and specific area analysis in the
wide frequency range from 1 Hz to 12 GHz and in the temperature interval from room temperatureto 900C. Of special interest would be investigation in montmorillonite from our country since in
these materials by leaching cations can be obtained high proton and in the form of inclusion
complex high ionic conducting materials. The properties of the final materials strongly depend on
the processing conditions, pH, water content and heat treatment besides the composition. Different
microstructures can be obtained by changing these parameters. For example heteropolycompaunds
have the specific area very small ( 10 m2/g, and in the form of the nanosolid (diameter: 30-70 nm)
is amorphous and has a large surface area ( order of 500 m2/g). These materials belong to the class
of protonic conductors which are expected to

Abstract:
Communication technologies follow the international trend of improving functionality and
adaptability of electron based nanodevices while reducing their cost. Electrical signal addressing ofartificial structures elaborated at nanometer scale is investigated in this IP, by engineering
self-assembling materials and structures, modifying surface functionality atoms by atoms, and
integrating biological and non-biological entities in new systems. Such technological steps is
sustained by both fundamental knowledge of electrical contacting at atomic scale and advanced
techniques for analysis and manufacture of nanostructures. Research activities include realisation
and characterisation of picocontacts, ingration of multifunctional materials, and design of complex
nanostructures.
