Coupling between Ionic and Electronic Transport in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes – IONESCO
Efficient coupling between electronic and biological systems requires an interface for converting electronic signals into ionic (or chemical) signals, and vice versa, ideally with high sensitivity and speed. Unfortunately, the performances and functionalities of present electro-ionic devices poorly
Multiscale modelling of solvent phases for solvent extraction – MULTISEPAR
The recycling of rare earths is all the more important as their extraction is currently mainly carried out by a single country, at a high environmental cost. Liquid-liquid extraction enables these metals to be recycled by separating them selectively. Certain metallic elements, in ionic form, are tra
SUrface plasmon Resonance for In situ detection of Metallic Ions – SURIMI
Originating from either natural sources (such as hydrothermal, eruptive or weathering processes) or a range of anthropogenic activities, metallic elements flow in the Earth water and biota. This phenomenon is subject to investigations across a wide range of settings including the most remote parts o
BIsmuth BasEd LOw Temperature Sofc – BIBELOTS
Hydrogen is rising as one of the possible ways to deliver energy with a low carbon dioxide footprint. Fuel cells, devices converting the chemical energy of H2 in electrical energy appears as an important part of the grid of tomorrow. In particular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) benefit from a high he
Spectral Superdiffusive Phonon Sensor – SPiDER-man
Three challenging tasks shall tackle several scientific issues, especially in the development and the calibration of the SPSS. Among them, there is the handling of a TDTR heterodyne device to work at frequencies up to 10 THz, where thermal wave propagation dominates, keeping low signal to noise rati
Approximate Bayesian solutions for the interpretation of large datasets and complex models – ABSint
Our central purpose is to rovide a wider and generic array of statistical tools able to handle “big data” without jeopardising either the depth of the statistical analysis or the precision of the statistical predictions derived from such data. The impacts of the project are two-fold: (1) scienti
Property Changes of Multiphasic Fluids by Geometrical Confinement in Advanced Mesoporous Materials – NanoLiquids
- A first objective is the assessment of the physical properties of the bulk binary solvents. Especially at the mesoscopic scale, there exists a growing number of evidences that supramolecular order and dynamical heterogeneities develop in liquids (especially H-bonded, binary systems, viscous, or su
High Optical Resolution for Unlabelled Samples – HORUS
Three-dimensional optical microscopy is an invaluable tool in many fields, particularly in biology, thanks to its unique properties for imaging living specimens. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made with the development of structured illumination techniques, PALM / STORM, and STED. How
MAgnon Excitation in the STRong Out-of-equilibrium regime – MAESTRO
The consortium has previously established the relevance of hybrid insulating ferromagnetic (YIG) / normal metal (Pt) systems in this context. It also uncovered issues related to the non-linear effects that limit the amplitude of the spin waves on which the operation of these devices is based. To ove
Charge transfer control in small molecular architectures – CHACRA
Charge transfer processes are essential in various fields of technology, chemistry, and biology, playing a crucial role in vital functions and technological innovations. In biology, these processes are fundamental for photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Understanding the mechanisms of converti
