One-pot Cascade and Tandem Heterocycles Synthesis Catalysed by Multifunctional Solid Materials – CATHECLOSM
The main objective of the project is to develop novel efficient heterogeneously catalysed synthesis of complex organic molecules using environmentally friendly "one-pot" multi-steps reactions in order to reduce energy consumption and the production of wastes, with the long term application to the sy
Tissue Engineering for Ligament and Tendon Repair – TELiTeR
1-Scientific background and objectives Ligaments and tendons play a crucial role in joint movement and stability. Some of them have bad or no healing capacity (e.g. the anterior cruciate ligament). Four options have been utilized for the repair or replacement of damaged ligaments or tendons : autogr
Environment of Early life on Earth 2 – eLIFE2
During the course of project ANR-Blan-eLIFE that ended November 2009, we have obtained, among others, two results of great significance for our understanding of the interplay between biological processes and the evolution of the primitive atmosphere and oceans prior to the Great Oxidation Event at a
Soliton ensembles in a laser cavity: collective behaviors, phase transitions and application to the generation of optical pulses with high repetition-rate – SOLICRISTAL
The study of collective behaviors for large sets of dissipative solitons is an unexplored and challenging area of fundamental research in nonlinear optics that we plan to investigate experimentally, numerically and theoretically. We expect to find strong analogies between these collective behaviors
Supramolecular redox control of a biomimetic metallo-site (Cu) embedded in a cavity – cavity-zyme(Cu)
Widen the field of exploitation of the cavity-zyme concept: new ligands, new caps, new platforms, new cavities, maintaining the possible comparison with the classical ligands, and thus biomimetic systems (organic and inorganic synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry…). - Reactivity with O2: preli
On the origin of exozodiacal dust – EXOZODI
The EXOZODI ANR project allowed us to address the issue of exozodiacal dust around nearby stars. We contributed to the improvement of two near-infrared interferometers, which we used to perform the first systematic surveys of exozodiacal dust. These surveys determined their detection frequency as we
Development of Ynamide Technologies – DYNAMITE
The development of new synthetic methods constitutes an important goal not only in organic chemistry but also in other related research domains where there is a growing demand in new molecules. The DYNAMITE project lies in this general context and deals with the development of new processes for the
Search for Dark Matter with Long Lived Particles at the LHC – DMwithLLPatLHC
Long-lived particles are predicted in many dark matter models, including two emerging categories which are the focus of this project: axion-like particles (ALPs) and dark hadrons. These currently have limited coverage at colliders: there is hence an opportunity to gain access to completely new regio
Broadband mId-infrared semiconductor modulators – BIRD
Fast amplitude and phase modulation is essential for a plethora of applications in photonics, including laser amplitude/frequency stabilisation, coherent detection, optical communications, spectroscopy, gas sensing etc. In the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength range (3-12um) broadband MDs are missing, h
Densification of nanostructured zIrconia : a change of Paradigm through LOw-teMperATure approaches – DIPLOMAT
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is one of today’s most important ceramic materials because of its unique combination of properties: high strength and fracture toughness at room temperature, hardness, wear resistance, high temperature stability and low thermal conductivity, potential ionic conductiv
