Multiscale characterization and modeling of charge transport properties and their influence on rate performance of high energy density composites electrodes for lithium batteries – PEPITE
In opposition to most of academic research on material development, this proposal addresses the issue of electrode technology, and its relation to limitation of power and energy of Li-ion batteries, reaching only 50 % of theoretical capacity. Indeed, in commercial batteries, practical electrodes mus
Helical states and Majorana fermions in topological nanostructures – TOPONANO
The mathematical concept of topology applied to condensed matter has been very helpful to understand the transport properties of certain materials. This description was responsible for the discovery of new states of matter called topological insulators. These are insulating in the bulk of the materi
GENOME-WIDE SEARCH FOR FACTORS THAT CONTROL THE ASSEMBLY OF RNA GRANULES – RNAGRIMP
In vivo, mRNAs are packaged together with regulatory proteins into ribonucleoprotein particles (RNP) that control their fate and undergo extensive remodeling in response to developmental cues or environmental stresses. Cytoplasmic RNPs of different sizes, composition and regulatory properties have b
Catalytic Effect Engineering by Nanostructures: next-generation anode-Materials for lithium-ion batteries – CEENEMA
Due to the discontinuous production of renewable energies, it is impossible to use these energy sources for transport. The CEENEMA project tackled the link between renewable energies and electrical devices by focusing on lithium-ion batteries that can power electric vehicles. Energy storage based on
Enhaced oil recovery : from control of the interfaces to nanofluidic flows – ENCORE
Optimizing the efficiency of oil-recovery from existing fields will remain of upmost importance for the next 20-30 years, during the transition towards energies not based on fossil ressources. The aim of this project is to produce a profound advance in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms g
Efficient resource allocation in congested networks – RACON
Congestion is a ubiquitous phenomenon arising in many real life situations like transportation or communication networks. Congestion appears when the offered load to the system approaches or exceeds its capacity, having a very bad impact from performance and economic point of view. It is therefore
Electric vehicles routing and scheduling challenges within urban logistic – EVERS
Several cities around the world face transport problems. As they become larger, traffic congestion, energy consumption, and carbon emissions are increasing, imposing huge costs on economies and many adverse consequences in terms of environment and quality of life for citizens. Electric vehicles (E
EXAMAG - Exascale simulations of the magnetic universe – EXAMAG
Simulations of cosmic structure formation address multi-scale, multi-physics problems of vast proportions. These calculations are presently at the forefront of today's use of supercomputers, and are important scientific drivers for the future use of exaflop computing platforms. However, continued fu
Graphene heterostructures with Nitrides for high frequency Electronics – GraNitE
- Fabrication of Gr heterostructures with thin III-N layers grown by MBE or MOCVD on different kinds of substrates (Al2O3, SiC, GaN, Si). Two approaches will be followed to this aim: (i) transfer of CVD grown Gr from Copper to III-N; (ii) the direct growth of Gr on III-N and of III-N on Gr. - Advan
COndensation And Liquid Atomisation – COALA
The project objective is to provide in a medium term view predictive tools suited to the challenges that must be faced by aircraft industry to improve the performances of air conditioning system loaded in planes. The project will enable improving our knowledge of physical phenomena involved in these
