Sympathetic cooling with Be ions for precision measurements – BESCOOL
In the last two decades, spectacular advances have been made in the quantum state control of ions confined in radiofrequency traps. Methods have been developed for laser cooling of the external motion down to the vibrational ground-state. Sympathetic cooling extended these techniques to many atomic
Swarm intelligence for navigating disordered flows using chemical signals – SWARMER
When a weakly diffusive chemical substance is transported through a turbulent or a porous medium, the resulting concentration field is characterised by a structure made of filaments stretched and folded by the flow. Many organisms have to navigate this complex landscape to find their way to the emit
Sustainable Urban Deliveries – SUD
The project will produce tools for decision-makers at different levels (city policy, corporate strategy, corporate operations) as well as basic methodological foundations for addressing them in future applications. The expected results are new models and algorithms for the strategic, tactical, and o
Sustainable Polymers for Advanced Materials in Aerospace and Transport – SPACE-MAT
The University of Bordeaux (UBx) on behalf of the Laboratory of Organic Polymer Chemistry’s Institutions, i.e. the CNRS and National Polytechnic Institute of Bordeaux (Bordeaux INP), together with two industrial partners - ArianeGroup and GTT - are joining forces to propose an industrial chair in th
Sustainable Mulches for Aphid-Free Environment – SMAFE
By 2030, the world's population is expected to reach around 9 billion required to devise new advances in areas such as energy, transport and mainly food production. In fact, in line with the ethical demands of our times, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN) as well as the Eur
Surpass the Virus through Innovations in emergence – SURVIE
The Pandemic COVID-19 has impacted strongly the habitual activities in numerous sectors, such as healthcare, businesses, transportation services and educational institutions. With the end of confinement and the progressive return to professional on-site activity, there is an opportunity to innovate
Surfaces and interfaces of novel perovskites and perovskitoids. – SURFIN
SURFaces and Interfaces of Novel perovskites and perovskitoids (SURFIN) aims at setting up an ab initio study of the structural and electronic properties of surfaces and interfaces, which are known to be critical for the performance of photo-active materials and the charge carrier transport across o
Surface structuration for high mobility Silicon Carbide MOSFETs – riseMOS
Sustainable energy production and efficient energy conversion are major concerns of our society. Silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide semiconductor transistors (MOSFETs) have thus taken on strategic importance in decentralized electrical distribution grids or electrical system controls. They increase s
Surface acoustic wave micro-sensors based on ALuminium nitride/Sapphire Structures for high-temperature Applications – SALSA
The SALSA project aims at developing a micro-sensor enabling wireless process control in industrial applications operating at elevated temperatures (up to 1000°C) where no conventional wireless sensor can survive. The sensor consists of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device based on AlN/Sapphire laye
Supply chain design with an environmental performance-sensitive demand – CONCLuDE
The environmental performance of products has become a competitive factor for companies and an important purchasing criterion for customers. However, this environmental performance depends on logistical decisions such as the location/allocation of production sites, the choice of suppliers, the selec
