Upconverting photon harvester for photocatalysis – UPHocat
For some chemical reactions, light acts as an energy source which, combined with a photocatalyst, allows to multiply their efficiency. These reactions involve photocatalytic materials that will absorb light. Often, only the UV range, i.e. about 1% of the photons received by the Earth, are effective
Organized Pedestrian Movement in Public Spaces: Preparation and Crisis Management of Urban Parades and Demonstration Marches with High Conflict Potential – OPMoPS
Parades of highly controversial groups or of political demonstration marches are considered as a major threat to urban security, since the diametrically opposed opinions of participants and opponents may result in violence or even terroristic attacks. Due to the movement of the urban parades and dem
Experiments and simulations for the study of submerged aquatic canopies consisting of long flexible blades (ESCaFlex) – ESCaFlex
Aquatic ecosystems constitute a topic of high relevance due to their abundance and their various roles on different scales, ranging from the quality of drinking water taken from the local river to the large-scale impact on climate change. The fluid mechanical interaction between the flow and the fle
Deriving Performance-Optimized Gestural Interaction – GESTURE
- Define the design space of gesture-based interaction - Elaborate a model of gesture-based interaction - Build an optimisation method for gesture-based interaction Technical results - A gestural vocabulary on an interactive watch published at the national HMI'17 conference. - A smartphone-based
Development of atmospheric plasma Enhanced SPatial ATomiC layer deposition (SALD) for application to silicon Heterojunction solar cells – DESPATCH
Si solar cells are the main photovoltaic technology being used nowadays. While efficiencies reached are approaching the theoretic maximum, cost is still an issue to be fully competitive with fossil fuels. A new technology called Silicon Heterojunction Solar (HET) Cells has been developed in which th
Bioinspired chitosan cardiac patches: assemblies with the secretome of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for cardiac tissue regeneration – MYOCHITO
Myocardial infarction is one of the most deadly cardiovascular diseases in the world and in France, and is considered as one of the major pathologies of the 21st century. It occurs when the heart is no longer sufficiently supplied with oxygen by the blood, causing the death of the damaged cells. Ven
Photosynthesis Regulation and cyanobacterial biofuel production – ReCyFuel
Due to the global Earth warming arising from increasing atmospheric levels of CO2 and to the decrease of fossil fuel supply, one of the biggest challenges of our modern society is to design new methods to generate renewable, sustainable and clean energy. In the recent years, the use of cyanobacter
Two-component Functional organOGELs – FOGEL
As stated in the National Strategy for Research report (SNR, Action Plan 2016 , ANR Call), while presenting one of the five priorities of Challenge 3 "Industrial Renewal" (Priority 14 "Design of new materials"): " The products of the future will be more complex and mix several materials endowing fin
Development of Near-Infrared Mediated Photocatalytic Nanocomposites for the Treatment of Turbid Wastewaters – UpPhotoCat
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) consisting of several fused benzene rings are found as products of the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons (e.g. forest fire) as well as in flowback and produced water from Coal bed methane (CBM) and shale gas extraction process. These two processes are wide
Highly sensitive scanning probes for nanoscale thermal microscopy – TIPTOP
The TIPTOP project is a 4-year collaborative project aiming at developing a new resistive SThM probe for nanoscale quantitative thermal measurement, demonstrating the capabilities of the new technique on application-oriented micro and nanostructured materials and systems, developing an optimized tec
