Mitochondrial transport mechanism at the molecular level – MIT-2M
The first structure of AAC was solved in 2003 by one of the partners of the project. It is still the only atomic resolution structure of such a carrier. It shed the first light on mitochondrial carriers by showing the overall fold and the mechanism of inhibition by atractylosides, well-known poisons
Automorphing composites structures by 4D printing – CompoMorph
Coriolis Composite's activities concern the development of automated manufacturing tools for composite structures by depositing composite tapes. The “custom” placement of ribbons/reinforcements allows you to benefit from the advantages of composite materials, namely the optimized performance of lami
In-situ measurement and design of the electronic conductivity at all scales of a composite electrode for lithium battery – CALICE
The development of new lithium batteries with high energy density, high power and high cyclability is targeted. To reach this long-term goal, a fundamental understanding of the so called “formulation” of the composite electrode, i.e. the relationships between its processing, its morphology at differ
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
Microstructure and mechanical properties of polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys of the aerojet engines of the future – TOPAZE
The French group Safran is one of the world leaders in the field of superalloy metallurgy and processing. This position must be defended in a context of strong international industrial competition. In this very high-tech field, industrial competitiveness is closely related to advances in scientific
AUTOmated exploration of MATerials for PROton-conducting solid oxide CELLS – AUTOMAT-PROCELLS
Solid Oxide Fuel/Electrolysis Cells are electrochemical devices based on ceramics which operate at high temperature, typically 600-800 °C. This high temperature is needed to ensure fast diffusion and reaction rates i.e. to allow for high power efficiency. Unfortunately, coupled with extreme operatin
Photo-Induced ChArge Separation in Self-assembled donor-acceptor block co-Oligomers for photovoltaic applications – PICASSO
Organic materials show high potentials in the development of so-called plastic solar cells. Compared to silicium technology, organic photovoltaic modules are lighter, flexible and allow an easier and costless manufacture. Although considerable progresses have been made these last years, investigatio
Nutrient sensing in plants – NUTSE
The mineral nutrition of most terrestrial organisms (bacteria, fungi, plants) relies on the uptake of inorganic ions from the soil. However, the availability of these ions dramatically fluctuates in both time and space. To face this constraint, all organisms are able to develop a wide range of adapt
Quantum dot sensitized p-type wide band gap semiconductors for photoelectrochemistry – QuePhelec
The QuePhelec project proposal aims at the fabrication and study of new architectures for photoelectrochemical applications: assemblies of quantum dots (QDs) on p-type wide band gap semiconductors. By properly choosing the chemical and electronic nature of the components of the assembly, of the conn
SMART 3D ultrafast Laser fabrication of embedded optical functions in chalcogenide materials using self-improving spatio-temporal adaptive control: Applications in integrated spectrometry concepts for IR astrophotonics applications – SMART_LASIR
The objective is to master laser-induced refractive index changes and optical functions in MIR in bulk mid-infrared materials (e.g. chalcogenides) that respond to requirements in integrated spectrometry concepts. This involves: -generating knowledge on laser structural modifications. -tuning index p
