Parallel Microrobot localised in a large workspace – micro-SPIDER
Current microrobots remain very large compared to the size of the objects handled, which does not allow them to reach industrial speeds. In addition, the working space of micromanipulators is often reduced because, on the one hand, the required precision levels impose a limitation of the actuator st
Impact of STress on uRban trEEs on ciTy air quality – sTREEt
Urban vegetation is a source of ecosystem services, such as reduction of heat island phenomenon via evapotranspiration or support for pollution deposition. Trees emit a number Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) that can react with atmospheric primary pollutants to form secondary pollutants,
Lipid transport to mitochondria and contact sites formation during phosphate starvation in plants. – MiCoSLiT
Plants are organisms that are permanently subjected to numerous stresses such as high temperatures or nutrient deficiencies. Phosphate is an essential microelement for plant development, the absence of which has a considerable negative impact on agricultural yields. It is therefore important to unde
Mitochondrial and protease dysfunction in progeroid Cockayne syndrome cells and during age-associated processes – CS_AGE
We study the underlying mechanism of the altered pathway that we identified in CS cells, where oxidative and nitrosative stress (ROS/RNS) promotes overexpression of the HTRA3 protease, which results in the degradation of the key mitochondrial DNA polymerase POLG1 responsible for replication of the o
IMprovement of Photovoltaic conversion efficiency by ACting on Thermalization mecanisms – ICEMAN
Achieving high yields is a key element in the competitiveness of photovoltaic. Among third generation photovoltaic devices, solar cells based on hot carrier operation aim at reducing the thermalization process while obtaining high absorption. The project consortium is highly involved in recent achie
Multiscale estimation and Interface detection – Multisc-In
This project is devoted to innovative image processing tools relying both on optimization and multiresolution analysis in order to provide a new paradigm for the interface detection on large scale data. This project essentially relies on: (Obj 1) a deep theoretical study of the discrete Mumford-Sha
2D heteroepitaxial BN/ epigraphene /SiC films for electronics – BONNEG
The goal of this project is to validate the working principle of tunnel field effect transistors built from 2-dimensional heteroepitaxial boron nitride/ epigraphene /SiC films, with a viable large scale integration scheme. The first step is to produce ultrathin homogeneous BN films by deposition o
Quasi Cyclic Small Packet – QCSP
The publication of 3GPP Release 15 in June 2018 paved the way for the new 5G air interface, making a new step towards the new generation of mobile networks. The work on the development of a new radio interface dedicated to Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity should then start in 2020. It is expect
SImulations with high-order schemes of tranSport and TurbulencE in a tokaMak – SISTEM
The SISTEM project aims to successfully achieve the strong scaling-up of plasma simulations in view of the fusion operation in a tokamak of unprecedented size, and with stringent plasma conditions. - A 2D high-order non-isothermal ?uid solver including neutral dynamics to simulate turbulent transpor
Cleaving membrane necks by ESCRT-III – Neck4Fission
The "endosomal sorting complex required for transport" (ESCRT) catalyzes a wide range of physiological and pathological membrane remodeling processes including budding of vesicles and enveloped viruses, cell division and many others involving topologically similar inside-out budding processes. The e
