The HI-to-H2 transition in the high redshift Universe – HIH2
The conversion from atomic gas (HI) into molecular gas (H2) in galaxies is a fundamental process deeply linked not only to the onset of star-formation but also to the feeding of active galactic nuclei. This means that this process is key in the evolution of normal galaxies as well as those hosting a
A Sustainable Cooperative Catalysis for the Introduction of SRf groups by C-H functionalization – SCoopCH
The SCoopCH project aims at designing new and sustainable approaches for the transition metal-catalyzed functionalization of aromatic and aliphatic derivatives with various SRf groups (SCF3, SCF2H and SCF2FG) by C-H bond activation. To reach that challenging goal, we intend to bring eco-friendly sol
Urban Cooling by Trees – Assessing and Modeling for Designing Sustainable Cities – COOLTREES
The first general objective of COOLTREES is to evaluate and model the evapotranspiration of urban trees in relation to their environment, and to link their role in the urban climate to their structural and functional characteristics via modeling by taking into account three different scales: the can
Shape design and optimisation for additive manufacturing – COFFA
Additive manufacturing is one of the three priority technologies identified for the transformation to the industry of tomorrow. The traditional ALM digital chain shows three major weaknesses: commercial topology optimization codes are not capable of taking into account technological constraints in a
Toward Deterministic and Predictable Industrial 4.0 – TPI
Among the applications based on the Internet of Things, industrial applications were at the heart of the TPI project. Reducing management costs and automating the factory can be achieved by replacing existing cables with a wireless communication medium, provided that network performance can be guara
Measuring and modelling Surface Appearance for the surface topography control – NAPS
Mastering the visual perception of the surfaces of manufactured products is a central issue for the high value-added product industry. Many associated scientific challenges must be addressed, including the multifactorial challenge of digitizing the appearance of surface conditions: how to measure at
Material communicating with the BIM (McBIM) – McBIM
In 2009, the CRAN laboratory proposed the concept of «communicating materials,« materials that can communicate with their environment, process, exchange, and store data or information. They also have the ability to monitor their environment and measure their internal constants. This concept has been
INTEGRATED PRODUCT PROCESS MODULAR DESIGN – IPROD
Industries today are facing a challenging socio-economic environment and are struggling to survive. Increased legislation, more demanding customers, shorter product life cycles, demand for a wider variety of products, fierce competition, exponential technological development, and the evolution of th
Tenebrescent minerals by in silico Modelling – TeneMod
The photochromism, also called tenebrescence by mineralogists, is the reversible change of colour of a material upon light irradiation. This is a growing research area since this phenomena can be used in several high-tech applications. Two main research axes are developped in that field. The first o
TESTING THE SHOCK HYPOTHESIS AS THE ACCELERATOR OF SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLES – COROSHOCK
The COROSHOCK project will address one of the remaining unsolved fundamental problems in solar physics: how are solar particles accelerated to high energies? The origin(s) of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) and of high-energy electromagnetic radiations such as ? rays are still highly debated. Two m
