Analysis on singular and non-compact spaces: a C*-algebra approach – SINGSTAR
Many problems in Mathematical Physics, Number Theory, Geometry, Partial Differential Equations and other areas of science lead to advanced questions in Functional Analysis. An example of such a questi
Anderson localization of vector waves – LOVE
The main objective of the project was to study the role of the vector character of light and sound waves (in solids) in the Anderson localization phenomenon, especially in three-dimensional media where the very existence of the localization of light had been questioned previously. We have been able to show that the vector character of the waves does play an important role for the light but it is less crucial for the sound.
Anti-ion – ANTION
We work on the production, for the first time, of positively charged antihydrogen ion under controlled circumstances in the laboratory. We will measure the cross section of the antiproton/positronium and antihydrogen/positronium reactions and their matter counterparts, which lead to the anti-ion production. The antihydrogen ions will be used in the GBAR experiment at CERN, which aims at the direct measurement of the gravitational acceleration of neutral antimatter.
Antimicrobial plant phenolic compounds for food preservation – ACTIPHEN
ACTIPHEN aims at assessing the potential of plant extracts containing antimicrobial phenols with a molecular mass between 150 and 3,000 g.mol-1 for food preservation. This choice is based on the following observations: <br />- (i) antimicrobial activity of plant phenols has been less studied than their antioxidant activity; <br />- (ii) essential oils are the plant extracts which were the most studied for their antimicrobial activity.
Aortic Aneurysm Damage and Rupture Prediction – AADaRP
The rupture of an aortic aneurysm, which is often lethal, is a biomechanical phenomenon that occurs when the wall stress state exceeds the local strength of the tissue. Current understanding of arteri
Appel à Projets Transnational pour la recherche sur la "Neuroinflammation" dans le cadre de l'ERA-NET NEURON II
The ANR joins the ERA-Net NEURON II to launch a seventh call for research proposals to fund research on neuroinflammation. Nineteen agencies in eighteen countries from the European Research Area

Assembly and dynamics of active and passive micro-ellipsoids at a fluid interface – SURFANICOL
The purpose of SURFANICOL project is to study the structure and dynamics of anisotropic particles at interfaces and in particular the manifestation of the coupling between the rotational and translati
Assessing long term effects of invasive tree species on the protective function of forests against rockfall in Switzerland and France: the case of Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven) – ALIEN
Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, commonly known as tree of heaven, is a deciduous tree native to China. In the last decades it has become invasive in forests in the southern parts of the Alps. Many of these forests have a protection function against rockfall. The expansion of Ailanthus altissima in protection forests poses questions on the future development and stability of the affected forest stands and their protective capacity.
