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
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
Restoring sensitivity to azoles in candidemia – RESTOR
Fungi infect a billion people, 3 million invasively and 1.5 million deadly. Candida species are the most involved in humans against which antifungal drugs have been developed, among which azoles are the most widely used. Candida triggers a resistance to azole by expressing Cdr1, a membrane pump that
Urban mobility and active transportation under the lens: Adapting urban design to daily-life perturbations and heat waves – MUTATIS
Promoting and managing active mobility (i.e., walking or riding a bike or an e-scooter) in urban settings has become a major challenge; these active modes are particularly vulnerable to a variety of `perturbations' (in a broad sense), caused by their mutual interactions, by hindrances on the pavemen
Gas Diffusion Photoelectrodes with Backside Solar Light Illumination for Small Molecules Capture and Catalytic Reduction – GASPER
The aim of the GASPER project is to develop and fully characterize a new concept of gas diffusion photoelectrodes with backside illumination for CO2 conversion under solar light. To this end, we will take advantage of a very recent discovery by one of our partners that has made backside illumination
Anomalous Persistence of Evaporating Dense Sprays – APIEDS
The "Anomalous Persistence of Evaporating Dense Sprays" (APIEDS) project is intended to address significant gaps in our understanding of dense spray dynamics by leveraging the collective expertise of leading researchers from LPENS/Université Paris Cité, specialists in wetting, nucleation, and partic
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
Controlling surfactant therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome with two-phase flow and machine learning – INHALE
Surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) consists of instilling a liquid-surfactant mixture into the trachea of premature newborns, whose high alveolar surface tension makes their lungs stiff and difficult to inflate. Despite indisputable efficacy, the dose and administration method have been primarily
Nano-Enabled Antimicrobial Food Packaging Incorporating Natural Bioactives from Mediterranean Agri-Wastes – A- BLOCK
Active food packaging systems have gained a lot of interest as they play a critical role in extending the shelf life of food products while reducing the risk of microbial growth. It is well known that extending the shelf life of food by even one day has a huge impact on sustainability in terms of co
