Adjusting nitrate fluxes in plant growth responses to shade or temperature – NitReST
Plants constantly adjust their development in response to variations of environmental parameters, both above and below ground. How do plants sense and integrate various concomitant external signals? How does each signal influence the response to another? These questions are at the heart of the NitRe
Additive-manufactured MIEC ceramic membranes for solar-driven green fuels generation – MEMBRASOL
The production of renewable and dispatchable synthetic fuels using green processes constitutes a major challenge of the next decade for the decarbonation of the transport and energy sectors. This project aims to develop a novel groundbreaking approach that bypasses the use of electricity while being
Additifs supramoléculaires de cristallisation des transporteurs ABC de résistance à de multiples agents chimiothérapeutiques – AddX
The structure-based design of highly efficient and selective, therapeutic inhibitors, requires the knowledge of their protein targets at the atomic level, if possible in several conformations, that will reflect the different catalytic steps of a given process. This is a particularly difficult task c
Adaptive Microfluidic Networks for Optimal Transport – AMNOT
Flow transport in complex networks is abundant in biology and engineering, from the vasculature of animals, to the hyphal networks of fungi, to the random porous media making up batteries. It has long been thought that biological network morphologies were optimised to minimise the energetic cost ass
Adapting T. reesei cellulolytic enzymes for Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation – ACTIFE
The advent of a non-food biomass to ethanol industry (2nd generation ethanol) is a significant challenge for the transport sector. In this production process, pretreated plant biomass is hydrolysed by enzymes produced by a filamentous fungus, Trichoderma reesei. These enzymes cut cellulose into suga
Absorbent falling film with free-surface instabilities: exploration – FRAISE
FRAISE project intends to optimize energy conversion through falling-film absorption processes. Its main technological outcome is the development of innovative concepts for the design of efficient desorbers, which represents the bottleneck for the conception of new compact absorption machines adapt
AUTOmated exploration of MATerials for PROton-conducting solid oxide CELLS – AUTOMAT-PROCELLS
Solid Oxide Fuel/Electrolysis Cells are electrochemical devices based on ceramics which operate at high temperature, typically 600-800 °C. This high temperature is needed to ensure fast diffusion and reaction rates i.e. to allow for high power efficiency. Unfortunately, coupled with extreme operatin
AEM-EC - Reduced production costs – HyReCo
The planned project HyReCo will develop a cost-effective, robust open-source AEM cell designed for industrial mass production that can be implemented in the stack or system and used in a wide range of application scenarios. The main targets are the reduction of production costs for single components
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
A road toward safe artificial intelligence in mobility – Raimo
The rapid development of artificial intelligence is transforming the transportation sector, with autonomous vehicles representing a major disruptive innovation whose large-scale deployment remains uncertain. Despite ongoing real-world experimentation, broader acceptance and deployment are constraine
