Mechanical Properties of Granular Metamaterials – MICROGRAM
Granular materials surround us more than any other. They cover 80% of the planet, are omnipresent in industry, and the energy we use to produce them exceeds the energy we consume for transportation. Moreover, these materials have the unique characteristic of behaving both as solids, liquids, or gase
Automated mechanical lab' and model calibration – AutoMeCal
Extensive use of virtual mechanical design for shaping processes and structural parts makes it possible to use materials more sparingly, reducing product mass and production rejects due to variations in material properties from one batch to the next. The robustness and reliability of such a design i
Interfacial Mechanisms and Inert Anodes Materials for Aluminium Electrolysis – MIMINELA
- - - - The proposal is concerned with the development of ecofriendly molten salt electrolysis process for aluminum production where consumable carbon anodes are replaced by inert anodes. The so called HH process consists in electrochemical reduction of aluminum, using alumina extracted from bauxit
Two-component Functional organOGELs – FOGEL
As stated in the National Strategy for Research report (SNR, Action Plan 2016 , ANR Call), while presenting one of the five priorities of Challenge 3 "Industrial Renewal" (Priority 14 "Design of new materials"): " The products of the future will be more complex and mix several materials endowing fin
Development of Near-Infrared Mediated Photocatalytic Nanocomposites for the Treatment of Turbid Wastewaters – UpPhotoCat
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) consisting of several fused benzene rings are found as products of the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons (e.g. forest fire) as well as in flowback and produced water from Coal bed methane (CBM) and shale gas extraction process. These two processes are wide
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
Sea-ice Evolution in Arctic Summer – SEAS
The extent of sea ice during summer in the Arctic Ocean is among the most sensitive indicators of the ongoing climate change. The Arctic sea ice is known to have a key role in determining the planet albedo, which is the ratio of reflected over incoming solar radiation. During the last summer (2
Materials World Network: New functionality in COmplex MAGnetic structures with perpendicular anisotropy – COMAG
Nanomagnetism is one of the most active areas in science, with a wide range of fundamental problems as well as important and emerging technologies. New functionality requires control of magnetic order at the nanometer spatial and sub-nanosecond temporal scales. Many spin-based devices are still in
Novel two-dimensional electron gases at the surface of transition-metal oxides – LACUNES
Fifty years of dramatic advances in microelectronics have reshaped the way we communicate and work, but progress on silicon-based technologies could well be reaching their limits. This calls for fresh research on new materials for the electronic industry. In this context, fabrication of high quality
Cellular Solid State NMR Spectroscopy of membrane proteins from Corynebacteriales – CoryneNMR
Corynebacteriales is a suprageneric actinomycetes group that includes corynebacteria, mycobacteria, nocardia, rhodococci. These Gram+ bacteria are important in several ways: pathogenic mycobacterial species, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. leprae, are known to cause severe infectious dis
