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
Brownian motion near soft interfaces – EMetBrown
Soft and wet contacts are ubiquitous from geology to biology and are crucial for engineering. Furthermore, many key processes of life are governed by microscopic motility in soft and confined environments with the aim of reaching specific targets. In soft matter, an emergent elastohydrodynamic (EHD)
Build In Self Characterization In G Band – BISCIG
New microelectronic applications such as wireless communications or radar detections require increasingly high data rates or resolutions. That implies to work at very high frequencies, in the millimetre waves domain. More specifically, in the frequency range 140-220 GHz (G-band), microelectronic cir
Building Nationalism in Inner Asia: The Empowerment of the Tibetan Revolution in the early 20th century – NATINASIA
The subject of the 1911 Chinese Revolution in Tibet, the various factors, both internal and external, that conditioned it, its unfolding, and its consequences on Inner Asia’s geopolitics has not yet been studied. This project proposes a connected history of the revolution in Tibet by taking into con
Building regulatory networks in neural crest induction: integrative approaches in vivo and in stem cells – CRESTNET
One major challenge is to convert the current network of epistatic interactions into a network of direct regulations, for neural crest development. We have developed a series of complementary tools and approaches to investigate pax3 targets and regulators in neural crest earliest development, on a
Building stimuli-responsive primitive cells – ResponCell
Despite being self-sustaining units of life, cells do not live in isolation. Due to selective membrane permeability, cell survival depends on the ability of membrane-bound biological machinery to regulate the active transport of solutes, process information received from the environment, and mediate
C-C bond forming enzymes to convert imines into amines: towards “aldaminases” – ALDAMINASE
Discovering cutting-edge methods for the synthesis of chiral amines is essential since many pharmaceutical molecules contain this motif. Moreover, to meet the challenges of sustainability, it is imperative to develop green, chemo-, regio- and stereo-selective processes. Biocatalysis meets its expect
C-Low Threshold mechanoreceptor cells and circuits: from touch to pain modulation – C-LTMR
Pain is a physiological signal that contributes to the protection of individuals from potentially harmful stimuli. In pathological conditions, however, maladaptive plasticity of primary afferent neurons conveying sensory information, or of neuronal networks transmitting this information towards the
CALIXARENE MOLYBDENUM BASED (ELECTRO)CATALYSTS FOR NH3 PRODUCTION UNDER MILD CONDITIONS – CalixMo
This multidisciplinary project would contribute to the obtention of the first competitive molecular catalyst or electrocatalyst for NH3 production from N2 under mild conditions. In order to approach this ambitious objective, we propose to synthesize new mononuclear Mo complexes supported by 3D macro
CARBIDE AND CARBONITRIDE NANOCOMPOSITE BASED PHOTOTHERMAL SOLAR ABSORBERS – CARAPASS
A concentrating solar system uses the sun's radiation by directing the flow of photons through mirrors. These rays come to focus on a target - the solar absorber - which heats up. Its role is to absorb the incident radiation and transmit the accumulated heat to the heat transfer fluid, which thus ex
