Chemistry of Renewable Carbon for Bio-Fertilization & Plant Nutrition – C2R-BioNut
Global population growth is rapid: 7 billion people in 2012, it is expected 9.5 billion in 2050 according to the medium scenario of the UN. This is a major challenge for agriculture as filling and secure the growing food needs in quantity and quality. One approach favors the intensification of agric
Ceramic Optical Fiber for Laser Applications – FOCAL
Fiber lasers are expected to occupy 40% of the laser market within a few years against 10% nowadays. As a matter of fact, they enable i) higher compactness compared to classic bulk lasers, ii) beam transportation and iii) easier use through very good heat dissipation and vibration immunity. Even th
The Chirality of Genes – CHIRGEN
The asymmetric photochemistry of nucleotide precursor molecules at synchrotron SOLEIL is dependent upon on the chiroptical properties of these molecules and will most certainly initially yield only small enantiomeric excesses (e.e.s), as we have already observed for amino acids. Thus any asymmetry p
In-situ forming implants for periodontitis treatment – Imperio
Periodontitis is a highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium, leading to the destruction of the tooth supporting tissues and finally to tooth loss. Microorganisms in the patients’ periodontal pockets produce molecules, which directly attack the host tissue and/or cause an im
Ultra Low Power Wake-up Radio – U-WAKE
Several use-cases of a wake-up radio can be identified (ultra-low power but small sensitivity or more consumption but better sensitivity). From a general point of view, the interesting parameters are: • Consumption - in nW • Sensitivity (S/N detection threshold) • Frequency band and carrier frequ
The physics of multicellular organization in bacteria – BactPhys
We propose a novel approach to study bacterial multicellular organization based on physical mechanisms in order to identify the minimum elements of biochemical regulation required to coordinate complex processes such as bacterial clustering, stream formation, and fruiting body formation. This is a m
– MolNanoMat
Organic solar cells face a have to overcome a fundamental hurdle: the generation of free electrons and holes from strongly bound excitons. This charge separation is possible only at the interface of two materials with different electron affinities, between a donor D and an acceptor A. Within this co
Innovations pour la gestion durables de l'eau en ville - connaissance et maîtrise de la contamination des eaux pluviales urbaines. – INOGEV
The reduction of pollutant discharges to limit their impact on the environment is a major preoccupation of most cities. Indeed, urban discharges are considered as a major cause of the deterioration observed in receiving waters. Water regulation is becoming more and more stringent. Especially, the Wa
Photovoltaic spatial light modulators for self-activated dynamic glazing – PSLM
Dynamic glazing consists of glass with adjustable transparency in the visible and/or near infrared range.It is an effective way to control incoming solar radiation and reduce energy consumption for lighting and air conditioning in buildings. However, the deployment of existing technologies remains l
Catalysis in water by super hydrophobe hollow shells as solid micelles – CATCALL
• Se placer dans des conditions thermodynamiques favorables. La compréhension de la thermodynamique aux interfaces des différents constituants du système (solvant, réactifs, produits incluant les produits intermédiaires) est un problème complexe. En effet, ce type de problématique soulève de nombreu
