Projects about FET Flagships

The Graphene Flagship participates in a research rocket launch in collaboration with the European Space Agency to test printing of graphene devices in space. This is the latest from a series of experiments carried out by Graphene Flagship partners to test graphene’s performance in a zero gravity environment.

The company is launching a new hyperspectral graphene photodetector that enables on-site analysis of food and agriculture products using infrared detection, at a lower cost than existing sensor technologies. The new product is the result of the collaboration among different domains of expertise enabled by the Graphene Flagship.

The Graphene Flagship tests graphene in zero-gravity conditions in its aim to develop graphene-based devices for space applications. The unique properties of graphene show promise for designing devices that provide enhanced performance in thermal management, which is key for the correct functioning of satellites and other equipment in space.

Is it possible to store energy at extremely high temperatures of up to 2000ºC? What are the advantages of having such technology? And what are the challenges when it comes to developing it? These are just some of the burning questions scientists from the FET-Open Amadeus project are trying to answer at an experimental foundry in Norway.

The widespread adoption of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revolutionised clinical medicine, and the revolution has not stopped. Scientists in the FET-Open project are exploring ways to make MRIs even more effective - aiming to help patients get the best possible treatment through early disease detection.

EIC FET-Open project STARDUST will deliver a conceptually new device for in vivo optogenetics, electrophysiology and triggered local drug-delivery for Parkinson’s Disease.

FET-Open-funded researchers are developing pioneering tools and techniques that will enable scientists to view chromosomes in unprecedented detail, greatly advancing research into life-saving treatments for cancer and cures for many genetic disorders.

People are increasingly interacting with intelligent technology, as the real and digital worlds become intertwined. The EIC FET-Open project is working to bring new forms of human-machine collaboration into real-life educational settings for healthcare providers that will benefit students, trainers and patients.

Precision measurements of atmospheric conditions is a challenging but important task. One solution are laser based measurement systems. These enable precision wind velocity measurements for wind shear detection and the optimization of wind farm turbines. In addition, greenhouse gas concentrations can be measured from satellite based laser systems.

The FET-Open project SYMBIOTIC works towards the development of an autonomous, low cost, disposable electrochemical biosensor for the early detection of cancer.
