Towards orbitronics function in transition-metal-oxide heterostructures: a novel paradigm in oxide electronics – ORBIFUN
This project aims at unlocking the potentialities of the orbital-physics of Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs), establishing the basis for novel orbitronics function. The principal aspiration of this promising area of research is to switch between two electron orbital states via an external stimulus, su
COupled experimeNtal/theory study oF electrochemical inteRfaces fOr N2 reducTion into green ammonia – CONFRONT
The CONFRONT project brings together two experimental teams and one theoretical team to deepen the understanding of electrocatalysis, focusing on the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). This reaction is essential for producing ammonia and replacing the current Bosch process, which is energy-intensive
DYNAMIC Activation of Magnesium-Based ComposiTes for Hydrogen Storage – ADyCT
Hydrogen is a key issue for renewable energies. The solid-state storage of hydrogen in the form of metallic hydrides offers numerous advantages, including safety, in comparison with cryogenic liquid and compressed gas possibilities. Magnesium, an abundant and relatively cheap metal, reacts with hydr
Sustainable Mulches for Aphid-Free Environment – SMAFE
By 2030, the world's population is expected to reach around 9 billion required to devise new advances in areas such as energy, transport and mainly food production. In fact, in line with the ethical demands of our times, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN) as well as the Eur
Dynamic Glycosylated Polymers as Potential Antibacterials – GlycoDyn
WHO has established a list of pathogens (ESKAPE) displaying antimicrobial resistance. Among them, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a bacterium involved in multiple infections and is lethal for patients with cystic fibrosis. Bacteria bind to host cells through protein-carbohydrate interactions. Lectins
Universal inhibitors for lightweight alloys protection – UnILAP
In the transport field, structural lightening has become a major challenge in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight global warming and its ecological, economic and societal consequences. Light alloys (aluminum alloys) are commonly used as structural materials. Their corrosion resistanc
Fruit Integrative Modelling – ERASYsBIO (ANR-09-SYSB-0003)
Commercial fruit production is under significant pressure from environmental stresses, but also by changes in the consumer’s demand for taste and nutritional value. One key goal of fruit biology is therefore to understand the factors that influence metabolite levels. Both genetic and environmental f
FrEsh FooD sustainable paKaging in the cIrcular ecOnomy – FEDKITO
Quality and shelf life of fresh food (FF: fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy) are affected by microbial contamination and insect attacks, that may be exacerbated by non-optimal logistics at post-farming and retailer stages. FEDKITO proposes the use of chitosan (CHT) aromatized with essential oils (E
Smart and innovative packaging, post-harvest rot management and shipping of organic citrus fruit – BiOrangePack
The overall objective of the project is to increase the efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of the post-farming processing chain of organic citrus fruit, by intervening points of weakness and the unresolved problems of this supply chain. Consistently with the scope, specific objectives in
Multi-omic and multi-modal MRI signatures to unravel the role of glymphatic pathways in cerebral small vessel disease – Multi-SVD-glyph
Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is a heterogeneous group of pathologies affecting small blood vessels of the brain, and a leading cause of stroke and dementia. Numerous genetic risk loci have been identified for several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of cSVD, especially white matter h
