Property Changes of Multiphasic Fluids by Geometrical Confinement in Advanced Mesoporous Materials – NanoLiquids
- A first objective is the assessment of the physical properties of the bulk binary solvents. Especially at the mesoscopic scale, there exists a growing number of evidences that supramolecular order and dynamical heterogeneities develop in liquids (especially H-bonded, binary systems, viscous, or su
MagnetoelectrIc oxideS for SpIn-OrbitroNics – MISSION
Inserting an electric field-driven magnetoelectric material (ME) in spin Hall effect (SHE)-based spin-orbit torque (SOT) architectures will yield a possibility to tune the SOT spin injection in the ME material via the application of a voltage and will allow lowering the charge current necessary for
Parallel Microrobot localised in a large workspace – micro-SPIDER
Current microrobots remain very large compared to the size of the objects handled, which does not allow them to reach industrial speeds. In addition, the working space of micromanipulators is often reduced because, on the one hand, the required precision levels impose a limitation of the actuator st
Feasibility and interest of microwave heating for the disinsectisation of stored cereals – GRANIonde
In response to the global challenge of reducing the use of plant protection products in storage and to meet the needs of operators to have complementary physical curative control methods alongside the prophylactic methods already in place (cooling of grain, insecticide treatment of premises, cleanin
HYPERthermophiles and their BIOMINeralization mechanism – HYPERBIOMIN
The HYPERBIOMIN project follows on from recent studies (Gorlas et al., 2015; Gorlas et al., 2018) and provides new insights into the relationships between metabolism, genetics, and high-temperature biomineralization. It has enabled the development of a realistic experimental model of hydrothermal ch
Ultrasound welding of papers and nanocelluloses – ULTRACELL
The main ambition of the ULTRACELL project is to provide proof of the feasibility of a new industrial adhesive-free assembling process or bio-based heat-sealable layers. The process developed should have performance comparable to assemblies obtained by adhesive or heat sealable layer used today, in
Non-Fullerene-Acceptor based polymer solar cells with 15% efficiency and 10-year lifetime – NFA-15
Polymer solar cells (PSC) are promising technologies for production of photovoltaic solar energy at low cost. Thanks to their flexibility, semi-transparency and color tuning PSCs are only interesting for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV), but also unique energy provider for indoor and consumer
Development of a Real Time Monitoring non invasive In Vivo Mass Spectrometry System for Diagnostic: REALITY'MS – REALITY'MS
The challenge of the SpiderMass project is to develop an instrument for allowing the analysis in-vivo and in real-time in the surgical room. This is a main issue with regards to the importance of the quality of the surgery on patient’s outcome and survival. Currently, none of the existing technologi
ACTIVe Reduction Of Aerodynamic Drag. Wake control : from passenger car to long haul vehicle – ACTIV_ROAD
The objectives are the following : - Carry out a physical study on aerodynamic properties of the wake for square back bluff-bodies under the influence of high-frequency perturbations due to pulsed jets in the vicinity of solid surfaces. - Take advantage of advanced control strategies used in the p
TheRmo-Actuated Migration in a microsystem – TRAM
Bubble/droplet driving has been commonly investigated in soft microfluidic chips, using surfactants to stabilize the dispersed phase, involving simultaneously different phenomena that makes the behaviour of the elements especially difficult to predict. Oppositely, we propose to quantify the influen
