Programed genetic transformation: Staphylococcus aureus as a new model organism – GenTranSa
Areas of active research in this field include the regulation of competence, the evolutionary function of competence (genome plasticity, antibiotic resistance spreading) and the mechanisms of exogenous DNA natural transformation (transport and processing). In this project, I propose to investigate a
Aide à l'éco-conception des quartiers par l'analyse de cycle de vie – ACV Quartiers
Environmental awareness of local communities has led to develop sustainable urban projects, but without any precise definition of such concepts. Yet the importance of risks, from local to planetary levels, suggests a more rigorous management of these issues. In this context, life cycle assessment
Multi-functional memory elements using supramolecular self constructing interconnects – MultiSelf
The field of organic electronics is of growing importance, in particular for portable electronics, as well as low power and cheap electronics applications. Improving the conductivity of materials, as well as the interface between organic components and metallic interconnects are major problems, key
Croissance des COuches Semipolaires de semiconducteurs NItrures de qualité optimale pour applications opto-électroniques – COSNI
Wurtzite III-nitride semiconductors (AlN, GaN, InN) exhibit a large spontaneous polarization along the conventional growth axis, c- . In nanostructured components, electric fields as high as 10 MV/cm are commonly present. This leads to poor recombination efficiency, broadening of luminescence peaks
New catalysts for SAFe HYdrogen Release and use – SAFHYR
The two couples perhydrodibenzyltoluene/dibenzyltoluene and acetone/isopropanol involved in transfer hydrogenation operate in a closed circuit, with only hydrogen being able to enter and leave the circuit. This process, which is athermal and safe (no molecular hydrogen is released), could be a signi
Evaluating and managing the migration of contaminants from cellulosic materials – FoodSafeBioPack
The FOODSAFEBIOPACK project offers THREE significant contributions. (1) The transfer conditions will be exhaustively qualified by food type and modality for packaged foods sampled from the market by using a new design of migration cells enabling humidity control, freezing, and oven heating. (2) The
2D heteroepitaxial BN/ epigraphene /SiC films for electronics – BONNEG
The goal of this project is to validate the working principle of tunnel field effect transistors built from 2-dimensional heteroepitaxial boron nitride/ epigraphene /SiC films, with a viable large scale integration scheme. The first step is to produce ultrathin homogeneous BN films by deposition o
Bidimensional RF optoelectronic devices based on PtSe2 – BIRDS
The scientific goal of BIRDS is to extend the spectral performances of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC)-based optical detectors beyond the natural limit of 1µm fixed by the usual bandgaps in these materials (MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, WSe2, etc..). Reaching longer wavelengths in the infrared (1.55 µm
Catalytic Effect Engineering by Nanostructures: next-generation anode-Materials for lithium-ion batteries – CEENEMA
Due to the discontinuous production of renewable energies, it is impossible to use these energy sources for transport. The CEENEMA project tackled the link between renewable energies and electrical devices by focusing on lithium-ion batteries that can power electric vehicles. Energy storage based on
Magnetoresistance tunnel devices controlled by NaCl ultrathin layers properties – MAGIC CARPET
During the last decade, the magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) have gathered an increasing interest in nanoscience, as they became one of the key devices of a new field of research : spintronics. These heterostructures are made with two ferromagnetic electrodes (FM), separated by an insulating layer (t
