Development of GaN process on silicon substrate for millimetre wave applications – SATELLITE
Gallium nitride based High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) offer the unique possibility to design and fabricate microwave power devices giving outstanding performance at high frequency because the microwave power density is several order of magnitude higher than those obtained on GaAs or InP b
Plant manganese nutrition for optimal photosynthesis and growth – PlantMan
Despite the importance of manganese (Mn) for plant growth, the mechanisms allowing the uptake of this nutrient and the pathway for its incorporation into photosystem II have been the topic of only few studies. The major aim of this project is to combine complementary approaches towards a better unde
Microbubbles Engineering for Drug Delivery-assisted by Ultrasound – MEDDU
Despite tremendous efforts to develop drug delivery systems, therapeutic index and selectivity toward diseased tissue remain very low. The lack of selectivity often results in high toxicity. The use of ultrasounds coupled to the gaseous microbubbles is promising approach to deliver and reach with n
Numerical modeling of field ejection assisted by ultra-short laser pulses: Pushing the atom probe tomography to its highest capacities – Ultra-Sonde
The project is focused at the improvement of the laser assisted APT and in the widening of its capacities in terms of the resolution, size of the analyzed region, materials to be analyzed, and precision. The main scientific objective is to establish the relationship between (i) illumination charact
Functional hybrid Materials fOr the Conversion of Solar Light into Electricity – FMOCSOLE
Organic-inorganic hybrids are promising new materials for various applications as energy storage and conversion. However, despite the recent advances achieved, there is still a strong need of fundamental research to circumvent the limitations encountered in the field of the photovoltaic conversion t
Modeling Ion Adsorption in Microporoux Carbons – MAICANANO
This program aims to bring the scientific and mathematical bases necessary for the understanding and the prediction of the mechanisms of transport and the adsorption of the ions of the electrolyte in confined nanopores, i.e., under conditions where the double electrochemical layer theory is no longe
Optical Control of the Movement and Organization of Nanoparticles – COME-ON
COME-ON aims at demonstrating controlled light-induced organization of individual nano-sized objects using photomechanically active azo-derivative molecules. Indeed, the cis-trans photoisomerization of such molecules is known to produce huge average mass-transport effects in polymeric hosts. However
Experimental and theoretical study of energy and charge transfer in nanotube/chromophore compounds. – TRANCHANT
In the framework of the energy challenge and renewable energy sources, an important research activity is devoted to new low-cost photovoltaic materials. Carbon nanotubes grafted with photo-active dyes could lead to an important breakthrough in this domain due to their exceptional transport propertie
Geraniol against multi-drug resistant bacteria – GIRC
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in human health. During the last two decades, only a few molecules where proposed by the Major Companies, and with some exception (inhibition of bacterial peptide deformylase) they target the same process in bacterial cells. Indeed, there is an urgent n
Electrical characterization of ceramics during Cold Sintering Process – ELECSIR
The development of low-temperature densification methods represents a major advance in the shaping of materials that were previously impossible to obtain by other processes. They allow the preparation of multi-materials whose sintering temperatures, stability or chemical nature are not compatible wi
