Optical Anisotropy in Chiral NanoMagnets: Towards Optical Reading of Spin Orientation
AnisoChirMag is an interdisciplinary project which goal is to rationally synthesize chiral molecule-based nano-magnets combining significant magnetic anisotropy and Magneto-Chiral Dichroism (MChD) effect. This effect is proposed as a probe for the optical reading of the spatial orientation of the magnetic moment, i.e. to discriminate among the two possible spin orientations in such bistable materials. The target of the project is to provide a proof-of-concept using 1-D molecular nano-magnet.
Aerogels from polyolefin dynamic networks
This project aims at developing and studying a novel class of polyethylene aerogels, i.e. nanoporous, hydrophobic and ultralight materials from commodity components, with high efficiency as thermal in
Design of biosourced glycomimetics to stimulate cartilage regeneration in osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, characterized by gradual loss of articular cartilage due to abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM) and changes in chondrocyte morphology and metaboli
Alkaline earth metals for C–O bond functionalisation
ALCACAT assembles two complementary teams at University of Rennes 1 (Dr. Y. Sarazin (coordinator), Prof. J.-F. Carpentier, Dr. E. Caytan) and University Paris-Sud in Orsay (Prof. V. Gandon, Dr. C. Bou
ABSOLUte asymmetric synthesis by means of CATalysts supported on extremely chirally-amplified supramolecular scaffolds
A general approach towards absolute asymmetric syntheses achieved by rational design. All industrial processes rely on chiral precursors to produce new chiral compounds and this paradigm is a severe limitation of asymmetric synthesis. Absolute asymmetric synthesis, i.e. the preparation of enantiopure compounds without the help of any chiral species, is still very limited. A general approach towards absolute asymmetric syntheses would thus constitute an important breakthrough.
Dynamics and instabilities of helical vortex pairs
The aim of this project is to gain new basic knowledge on the dynamics and instabilities of vortex pairs having a large-scale helical geometry, which have relevance to applications involving flows aro
Towards a better assessment of hydraulically induced damage in geo-engineering applications
Predicting occurrence of hydraulically induced damage in geological systems constitutes a major challenge in subsurface engineering. For instance, geo-resources completion, underground storage managem
Microbial electrochemical snorkel for optimization of wastewater treatment bioprocesses
In urban areas, the amount of electrical energy expenditure for water treatment and supply could reach up to 18%. Within wastewater resource recovery facilities (WRRF), oxygen supply to microorganisms
turbulEnt Dense Gas flow modeling using large Eddy Simulation
This Young Researcher Project proposes to introduce Large Eddy Simulation (LES) in the field of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine flow modeling. No prior study has been focused on the accuracy and
Exploring geological resources and reservoirs Integrity by geophysical prospecTING of clays properties from nano to field scale
The presence of a low-permeability geological layer (often clay) that covers natural reservoirs is crucial for fluid and energy geological storages. In order to exploit these potentialities, a better knowledge of clays and their imaging are fundamental.
