– MITOPULSE
The mitochondria and chloroplast are the power-houses of eukaryotic cells. They are both in charge of the efficient provision of energy by feeding metabolism with its major substrate: ATP. The oxidative-phosphorylation system, described by Mitchell, relies on the generation, by an electron/proton tr
Electrical eFfects on InterfaCial thermAl resistanCE – EFICACE
Nowadays, integrated circuits consist of very dense assemblies of heterogeneous materials at lengths scales below the diffusive regime of heat conduction. These materials are the place of many interfaces that are limiting heat dissipation. In this context, metal semi-conductor junctions are targets
Single component conductors for chirality induced effects – SECRETS
Chirality generally refers to molecules, objects, or materials which can coexist in two non-superimposable forms, called enantiomers, showing mirror image relationship, and is therefore present in many scientific areas related to chemistry, biology, astronomy and physics. Although chiral materials i
MultiscAle STructure/propERty relationship in MIxed (ionic/electronic) (macro)molecular coNDuctors: Towards new generation organic bioelectronics devices. – MASTERMIND
MASTERMIND is an exploratory (TRL 1-3) collaborative research project (PRC) aiming at: i) establishing structure-property relationships in new generations of organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) and ii) optimizing (ion-electron) electrochemical transduction by comparing experimental an
4D-Mechanics of dynamic DNA hydrogels – MIND
Microscale structural and dynamical effects play a critical role, yet poorly understood, on the macroscale mechanical behaviour of soft materials. Biological tissue illustrate beautifully this complex temporal and structural optimisation. These materials combine strength, flexibility, and healing pr
Evolving electronic transport in molecules/nanoparticles networks – EVOLMONET
Networks of molecularly functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) (hereafter called NMN : nanoparticle molecule network) have emerged as an interesting approach in molecular electronics to understand fundamental electron transport mechanisms, as well as to develop potential applications in electronics, sen
Efficient implementation and optimization of adVanced messAge paSsing-based receIvers fOr future wireless Networks – EVASION
Recently, the academic and even the industrial community has showed a renewed interest in approximate Bayesian inference and derivative message passing techniques, thanks to new interference cancellation receivers based on expectation propagation (EP). These emerging solutions have shown near optima
Multi-users wireless access techniques fOr MassivE machiNe-Type communications – MOMENT
Telecommunications have experienced a paradigm shift in the past decades with the advent of Internet or things (IoT). With this new huge market, a lot of several interesting challenges have emerged, particularly with the potential inclusion of the IoT world in the future fifth generation of cellular
Understanding plasma-surface interactions in cryogenic etching for advanced patterning applications – PSICRYO
Low-pressure plasmas are widely used to transfer high resolution patterns into functional materials because they offer many advantages (anisotropy, selectivity) compared to wet processes. First introduced to achieve silicon deep etching, cryogenic etching consists in etching materials at very low te
High Entropy Alloys Passivation, Dissolution and Corrosion – Tapas2020
High-entropy alloys (HEA) represent an emerging class of materials showing an exceptional combination of physical properties but their development is hindered by their multi-element complexity of their composition. The goal of this project is to identify the role of the individual alloy elements in
