By combining molecular design, on-surface synthesis and scanning probe microscopy, we can control atomic structure, electronic states and magnetic interactions within the same platform.<br>\r\nIn this talk, I will follow the path from bottom-up synthesized graphene nanoribbons [1,2] to open-shell nanographenes [3] and designer quantum spin systems [4]. I will discuss how atomic structure can determine electronic topology and how molecular spins can be coupled into well-defined quantum chains. Recent examples include Haldane chains [4], alternating-exchange spin chains [5] and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains [6], where collective and fractional excitations can be probed directly at the atomic scale.<br>\r\nMore broadly, this work illustrates a materials-science strategy in which structure, functionality and interactions are programmed at the level of molecular building blocks. Rather than optimizing properties in an existing material, the aim is to design the material and its quantum behavior together. Atomically precise carbon nanostructures therefore provide a model platform for exploring how synthesis, structure and emergent functionality can be linked in a predictive way, with implications for the future design of low-dimensional electronic, magnetic and quantum materials.\r\n</p><ol>\r\n\t<li>J.

Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, including: (i) ultrahigh instantaneous electric fields at the air–water interface driving HO− à HO• + e− radicals from hydroxide ions; (ii) water’s comproportionation into H2O•+ and H2O•−; and (iii) partial dehydration of interfacial H+ and HO− followed by radical formation. In contrast, our laboratory experiments reveal that H2O2 formation is due to the reduction of dissolved O2 at water– solid interfaces, i.e., with no role for the air–water interface beyond O2 mass transport4-6. Based on these findings, I will present four diagnostic criteria against which any existing or future mechanistic proposal should be assessed. Our approach reconciles the claims of spontaneous H2O2 formation within established physical chemistry and extends naturally to other claims of anomalous microdroplet reactivity. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nReferences:<br>\r\n(1) Mehrgardi, M.

Formerly Research Associate at EPFL's Urban Transportation Systems Laboratory (LUTS) and an EPFL Data Champion.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n\"In October 2022, a fleet of ten drones spent four days filming traffic across the smart city of Songdo, South Korea, producing terabytes of 4K aerial video. This talk follows what happened next: how that raw footage became a connected set of openly available research outputs. The project released two datasets (vehicle trajectories and annotated aerial imagery), three reusable software tools, a ready-to-use machine learning model, an interactive online demo, and a peer-reviewed open access paper tying everything together, each one cross-linked, citable, and archived for the long term. Using this as a worked example, I will share practical lessons on making research outputs findable, reusable, properly licensed, and cited, including a few surprises about which parts the community valued most.\"<br>\r\n<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 2 |</strong> <strong>DISDRODB: a decentralized data base of drop size distribution observations, and much more</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/alexis.berne\">Prof. Alexis Berne</a> – Associate Professor, Head of Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory, EPFL ENAC<br>\r\n<br>\r\n\"The raindrop size distribution is a crucial information for atmospheric sciences, remote sensing and communications. Its current observations (from disdrometers) are rather spread between countries and institutions with heterogeneous variables and formats, hampering easy and broad access to public analysis-ready data sets. DISDRODB is an infrastructure (with associated softwares) aiming to provide a unified framework for the systematic sharing, standardization, and processing of disdrometer data.

The call is led by Prof. emeritus Marco Mazzotti, who oversees project evaluation, monitoring, and funding decisions, with support from SFOE experts. If milestones are not met, he may terminate projects and reallocate any funds that become available.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe <strong>guiding theme </strong>of<a href=\"https://www.bfe.admin.ch/en/sour-call-1-2026-en\"> the call</a> is <strong>“Supply Security on the Path to a Net-Zero Energy System.”</strong> It seeks <strong>high-risk, high-potential “game-changing” technologies</strong> that could substantially improve Switzerland’s energy security while advancing the transition to net-zero, e.g., by increasing renewable production, enabling better integration into the energy system, or reducing energy consumption. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe key idea is <strong>not incremental improvement</strong>: projects should aim for a <strong>major technological leap</strong>, starting around TRL 3–4 and reaching at least TRL 6, with <strong>commercialisation considered from the outset</strong>. In other words, SOUR is looking for unconventional technologies that could fundamentally shift the cost/performance frontier and eventually achieve significant market deployment in Switzerland.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><u>Funding duration:</u></strong> The total funding for this call is CHF 4 Mio., with which at most 4 projects will be supported. Each project may apply for up to CHF 1.33 million over a maximum period of three years. The start of the projects is planned for April 2027.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>Applications:</strong></u> Applications for SOUR funding proceed through a single proposal and require the formation of a team, a work programme, and a budget.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>Project Team:</strong></u> A team is led by one Principal Investigator (PI) and may contain one or more Co-PIs. Because SOUR funding is intended for small teams, the team size should be conducive to producing a major leap and enters into the evaluation. The PI and Co-PIs must be employees of a Swiss institution of higher education, a Swiss private sector company, or a Swiss non-commercial research organisation.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nApplicants are encouraged but not required to contribute own or third-party contributions, which are defined as:</div>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Own contributions are financial contributions (cash or in-kind) from applicants.</li>\r\n\t<li>Third-party contributions are financial contributions (cash or in-kind) from sources other than the applicants.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div>The overhead rate for this call is 0%.</div>\r\n\r\n<div><br>\r\n<u><strong>Submission:</strong></u></div>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>A complete application must contain a proposal and curricula vitae (CVs) for the PI and the Co-PIs.</li>\r\n\t<li>The PI must submit the proposal as Microsoft Word and pdf files via<a href=\"https://www.privasphere.com/e-uebermittlungBFE-Form\"> e-submission SFOE.</a></li>\r\n\t<li>The proposal must be prepared in English using the template that is available on the <a href=\"http://www.bfe.admin.ch/sweet\">SWEET website</a>.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div><br>\r\n<strong>Dealine: 1 December 2026 at 12:00 noon CEST. </strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nFor additional information please refer to the call <a href=\"https://www.bfe.admin.ch/en/sour-call-1-2026-en\">website</a> and <a href=\"https://pubdb.bfe.admin.ch/en/sammlungen/sour-call-1-2026\">guidelines</a>, or contact the <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">EPFL Research Office</a>.</div>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-10T11:31:46", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-10T11:36:16", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "", "organizer": "", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">EPFL Research Office</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121762/", "category": { "id": 16, "code": "PROP", "fr_label": "Appel à proposition", "en_label": "Call for proposal", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/140/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72553, "title": "Spin Polarization Studies for the Future Circular Collider e-e+", "slug": "spin-polarization-studies-for-the-future-circula-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/spin-polarization-studies-for-the-future-circula-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33803/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33803/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33803/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-13", "end_date": "2026-10-13", "start_time": "14:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Thesis Directors: Prof. M.
