Thermal transport and amorphous/crystalline switching in nanostructures – TACOS
The TACOS project aims at quantifying the thermal properties (conductivities and interface conductances) of nanofilms made of amorphous/crystal phase change materials. To this end, atomic models based on machine-learning interatomic potentials as well as measurements targeted to low thermal conducto
ThermAl nanoCOntactS – THACOS
Nanomaterials have multiple contacts and interfaces at the nanoscale where water molecules can be adsorbed and confined. These parameters can strongly modify heat dissipation in systems. However, thermal transport across nanoscale contacts is poorly documented. The project THACOS aims to fill the ga
Tricyclic-Spirolactams for the treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacteria Infections – TriSLa-4-NTM
Infections caused by Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are on the rise worldwide, not only in cystic fibrosis and immuno-compromised patients, but also in immune-competent individuals. These infections represent a major healthcare challenge with treatment using current antibiotics remaining less th
Innovative Degradation Analysis and Material Development for AEM Systems – IDEAS
The project aims to significantly enhance Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolysis (AEMEL) technology, aligning with the EU's strategic objectives to establish a robust hydrogen-based energy infrastructure. This infrastructure is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and achieving energy independence. B
SaferTramDriving – SaferTramDriving
Since the 2000s, tramways have become established in many cities as the main mode of public transport. Tramways are an attractive form of surface mass transit (high passenger flow, safe solution, clean energy) for local authorities. Furthermore, its cost is also lower than that of the other mass tra
Treatment of proton transport-related congenital disorders of glycosylation by manganese supplementation – TreatProCDG
Glycosylation is a protein and lipid posttranslational modification influencing many biological and physiological processes. Thousands of proteins are ‘glyco-proteins’. As a result, genetic defects in glycosylation pathways lead to mostly severe diseases, called ‘Congenital Disorders of Glycosylatio
Sustainable Polymers for Advanced Materials in Aerospace and Transport – SPACE-MAT
The University of Bordeaux (UBx) on behalf of the Laboratory of Organic Polymer Chemistry’s Institutions, i.e. the CNRS and National Polytechnic Institute of Bordeaux (Bordeaux INP), together with two industrial partners - ArianeGroup and GTT - are joining forces to propose an industrial chair in th
Innovative synthesis of hIghly dispersed Pt-free metallic nanoparticles for dehydrogenation reactions involved in liquid organic hydrogen carriers – INSIDE-Nano
Generally, noble metal-based catalysts are applied to catalyze hydrogenation/dehydrogenation (HYD/DH) reactions due to their high catalytic activity and selectivity. However, their high cost and scarcity limit their large-scale use in fields of application yet considered essential to respond to curr
Microtubule lattice renewal organizes the neuron – MicRON
A unique cytoskeletal architecture allows neurons to establish a complex and polarized arborization, and to maintain it for decades while ensuring the adaptation necessary for cognitive processes. Microtubules are dynamic polymers of tubulin that form tracks for the long-range transport of neuronal
Disordered honeycomb panels optimized to minimize structural impacts of non-stationary loadings on aircraft and aerospace components – DIZZY
The concept of Anderson localization has an untapped potential that could help improve aerospace and transport engineering by enabling the development of lightweight and robust materials capable of mitigating non-stationary dynamic loadings of high energy. Initially developed to explain the metal-in
