Soft in HArd MAgnetic Nanocomposites – SHAMAN
A magnet’s energy product, which quantifies the work that can be done by the magnet, is a key figure of merit for comparing magnets. The energy product of magnets doubled in value every 12 years in the last century, due to the discovery of new hard magnetic phases with improved intrinsic properties
Solar thermochemical conversion of CO2 and water into fuel using non-stoichiometric oxygen-exchange redox materials – SUNFUEL
The production of synthetic fuels (H2, syngas, liquid fuels) is a major challenge, in particular when produced from clean and novel renewable processes without any fossil resources. The reduction of CO2 emissions requires a strong decrease of fossil energy utilization while developing CO2-free renew
Generalized Optimal Transport Models for Image processing – GOTMI
Our society is in constant interaction with image content. Market data indicates that the number of acquisition mobile devices is going to considerably increase and in particular, a spectacular growth in users for the years to come is expected. Due to this trend, new needs and services for companies
Upper Limit Technology Investigations Mandatory to Attain THz Electronics – ULTIMATE
ULTIMATE is a three-year proposal for an ambitious research project focused on upper limit technology investigations mandatory to attain THz electronics. InP-based transistors are the world’s fastest three-terminal semiconductor devices. Regardless of whether bipolar or field-effect transistors are
Mobile Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells – MobiDiC
Sodium borohydride is a fuel of high-energy density, easier to store and transport than gaseous hydrogen. Its oxidation in a direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) would lead to an electrochemical generator capable to compete (or even overwhelm) lithium batteries in terms of energy density and therefor
Uranium production by in situ recovery – ISR-U
In situ recovery is today the first mining extraction technique worldwide for uranium production. The technique has numerous advantages, including low production costs and a limited footprint on the surface. However, the exploitation is complicated by the large spatial variability of the concerned o
Regression with Optimal Transport for Computer Graphics and Vision – ROOT
ROOT will develop numerical methods for solving important problems in computer graphics and vision via the optimal mass transport theory. These problems relate to histograms, and can be advantageously written and solved via regressions with loss functions involving optimal transport. These problems
Heterogeneous Component Design Technology – HELICITY
The main objectives are: Objective 1: to develop a complete hierarchical modeling approach as well as a multi-level design flow allowing reuse, architectural exploration and verification at the system level, and based on an industrially accepted modeling language. Objective 2: to extend a graph-ba
Trapped circular Rydberg atoms for Quantum Simulation – TRYAQS
TRYAQS proposes a disruptive concept for the quantum simulation of complex systems. Many groups worldwide actively explore quantum simulation. It aims at an in-depth understanding of many-body systems. They are extremely important, both for fundamental issues such as quantum transport or quantum pha
: Cavities for Optical Clocks – CaOC
Optical lattice clocks (OLCs) have progressed rapidly since the initial proposal in 2002, they now outperform even the best microwave clocks realizing the current definition of the SI second, as well as single ion optical clocks, thus becoming the best frequency references. While several groups worl
