The exploitation of a European project: key activities and how to start Day One for #overflyBioWings   If we look for an official definition of the term “exploitation”, the Horizon 2020 program generally refers to “the utilization of results in further research activities other than those covered by the action concerned, or in developing, creating and marketing a product or process, or in creating and providing a service, or in standardization activities”[1]. However, both

Towards Si-compatible and biocompatible electromechanically active materials Weizmann for #overflyBioWings   Materials developing mechanical strain under external electric field are a backbone of a larger variety of modern technologies ranging from ultrasonic medical imaging to cellular phones. There are, however, very few electromechanically active materials that are compatible with Si-based microfabrication technologies and biocompatible. A few years ago, we have reported that Gd-doped ceria (GDC), a material commonly used in fuel cells, exhibits unexpectedly large
