INNOvation of clathrates HYDrates for carbon capture and energy gas storage – INNOHYD
As part of a group specialised on the development on clathrate hydrates based technology, we, Mines Saint-Etienne, want to develop fundamental knowledge about non equilibrium thermodynamics. The principal objectives of our INNOHYD project are to: • Furnish valuable data of mixed clathrate hydrate
Pyrolyse rapide de la biomasse des déchets: double cinétique
The decarbonization of both the energy and chemical industry sectors is a major challenge. The Pyrokine project by allowing us to dive into the heart of the Fast pyrolysis process is helping us to assess and further progress on the process modeling development; and therefore, unleash the potential o
Simulation of latex drying: from the fundamentals to complex formulation – LatexDry
While it is well known that the drying of latex films play a critical role in paints, cosmetics and inks, a realistic description of the drying process is in fact not yet available. The final properties of the film, such as its adhesion, its optical and mechanical properties depend not only on the f
Membrane microdomain HIR proteins: control of iron uptake machinery and new functions in Arabidopsis – NUTRIR
The main objective of the NUTRIR project is to develop a new area of research aiming at better understanding the function of HIR proteins and membrane nanodomains in plants. The first objective is to: (i) characterize the small Arabidopsis HIR protein family (HIR1-HIR4) at the cellular level in t
Electrically pumped hybrid perovskites based light-emitting devices – EMIPERO
The aim of the consortium is to realize electrically pumped hybrid perovskites based light-emitting devices, such as electroluminescent diodes (LED) and laser diodes (LD). The project proposes a complete study since the fundamental properties of the material in a view of its optimization for the las
Ferroelectric control of organic/ferromagnetic spinterface – FEOrgSpin
The main objectives of the project are as following: Objective 1: Explore different kinds of ferroelectric organic materials to understand the observed FE modulation of spin-polarization; Objective 2: Engineer interface with different FM metals to study the spin polarization and magnetic anisotro
Stein's Method and Analysis – MESA
This project aims at developing new techniques and applications, by leveraging ideas from mathematical analysis (PDE techniques, variational methods, optimal transport, functional analysis). Fields of application we shall explore include statistics, random matrix theory and free probability, stochas
Re-defining a GABAergic neuron – GABAtransporter
The balance between excitation and inhibition is critical to the proper function of neural circuits. Aberrant activity is characteristic of numerous neurological disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, Rett syndrome, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Inhibitory interneurons are embedded in almost
Bio-based production of hydrocarbons using a new photoenzyme – PHOTOALKANE
The climatic consequences of using fossil reserves make it necessary to develop more environmentally-friendly biofuels. While most industrial developments have focused on the production of bioethanol or oil (converted to biodiesel), microbial production of medium-chain hydrocarbons (C7-C13) is emerg
Physics of degradation in organic, nanocrystal, and hybrid solar cells – PROCES
Solar cells based on colloidal nanocrystal QDs and hybrid perovskite have shown remarkable progress in terms of power-conversion efficiency over the past decade. Yet the Achilles heel of these devices lies in their environmental instability. This project thus aims to develop fundamental understandin
