ELECtrical NANO-imPRINT for the industrial fabrication of nanoparticle-based sensors – ELECNANOPRINT
test test test test Many countries including France have recently launched ambitious R&D programs in order to promote the emergence of nanotechnologies. This strong interest is caused by the exploration of the innovative properties of nano-objects that could lead to many potential applications. For
Representation and manipulation of highly detailed shapes – RichShape
In the context of computer graphics, this project aims to enhance the realism and visual richness of digital images. More precisely, our goal is to design novel representations for the efficient rendering of highly detailed 3D objects. First, the focus will be put on the representation of mesoscale
Photosynthetic energy networks for the functioning and regulation of the algal CCM – AlgalCCM
Microalgae account for nearly half of the CO2 annually fixed by the Earth’s ecosystems. Because CO2 diffusion is slow in water and the CO2-fixing enzyme of photosynthesis (Rubisco) has a low affinity for CO2, the efficiency of microalgal photosynthesis greatly depends on a mechanism that concentrate
Metal Organic Thiolate Coordination Polymers as Innovative Thermoelectric Materials – MOTIC
The chemistry of coordination polymers (CPs) opens up great perspectives for the development of new materials such as in the field of electronics and in energy-harvesting for the recycling of waste heat by thermoelectric effects. These materials consist of an organic matrix crossed by electrical con
NanOdevice mODeling for Low powEr applicationS – NOODLES
Nowadays, the nanoelectronics market is dominated by mobile applications for which ultra-low operating power (LOP) devices are required. Hence, the research efforts are devoted not so much to increase the electrical performance of the single processor, which can be achieved by using an aggressive co
Molecules for spin electronics – MOSE
This research combines molecular electronics and spin electronics by studying electric transport properties of molecule(s) connecting two magnetic electrodes. The planned experiments intend to: - fabricate magnetic electrodes separated by 1-2 nm, with optimized mechanical stability properties. The m
Nonlocal models for complex, cohesive granular flows – MoNoCoCo
Granular materials (powders, grains) are ubiquitous in industrial processes but often problematic to handle as they easily agglomerate and jam : this yields excessive energy and resource demands. The processes associated to flows of these materials (as feed or product) often involve phenomena like a
SaferTramDriving – SaferTramDriving
Since the 2000s, tramways have become established in many cities as the main mode of public transport. Tramways are an attractive form of surface mass transit (high passenger flow, safe solution, clean energy) for local authorities. Furthermore, its cost is also lower than that of the other mass tra
Operando investigation of chemo-mechanical degradation in sulfide-based solid electrolyte – OpInSolid
All solid-state batteries based on thiosulfate solid electrolyte hold the promise of safer and more energetic batteries, especially once coupled to Li metal anode and high voltage cathodes. Unfortunately, it was demonstrated in the literature that their electrochemical stability window is far from o
Ultrafast energy transfer in single nano-objects – ULTRASINGLE
The modalities of energy transfer at the nanoscale differ markedly from those at the macroscopic scale, in particular because of the increased role played by the interfaces. The partial reflection of phonons at interfaces induces in particular thermal resistances which play a central role at the nan
