Castrati: Otherness Experiences in Enlightenment Europe – CastrAlter
The programme aims to analyse the place of Italian castrati in the fabrication of otherness in the Europe of the Enlightenment. Many normative discourses postulate that their castration produces a «gender disorder«, as it would cause both physical and moral effeminacy, which could also influence the
Catalyseurs Supportés sur Nanotubes de Carbone pour Polymérisation d'Ethylène – CANAPE
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have generated a huge activity in most areas of science and engineering due to their unprecedented physical and chemical properties that make them ideal for a wide range of applications as well as for fundamental science. Functionalized carbon nanotubes are emerging as new too
Catalytic Manganese-based anti-oxidants: an integrated approach from chemical design to bio-activity in cells – CATMAN
Superoxide dismutases (SOD) are very efficient redox metalloproteins, which protect the cell from oxidative stress. We have considered manganese SOD (MnSOD) as a model for the design of new Mn-based catalytic antioxidants (MnAOs). They will be studied directly in a cellular context, cells being cons
Catalytic Selective Amination of Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bonds – ALCA-N
Alkanes represent a major carbon-based feedstock that, paradoxically, remain very rarely used in organic synthesis. Their lack of reactivity makes their transformation energetically demanding thus poorly selective. Accordingly, the conversion of alkanes to higher-value products requires to design ne
Catalytic Valorization of Industrial Carbon – CatVIC
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 1: All downstream chemical valorization steps of captured CO2 are dependent on the reduction of CO2 using H2. Therefore, an indispensable pillar for achieving an overall greenhouse gas mitigation is the ability to produce hydrogen on site from renewable energy sources in a cost-ef
Catalytic conversion of lignin into biofuels by task-specific poly(ionic liquids)-supported metallic nanoparticles – CATAPILS
Catalytic transformation of lignin into biofuels and simple aromatic substrates is of prime interest from an energetic and economic point of view. In order to valorize lignin, novel highly active and selective catalysts have to be designed. Thus, the CATAPILS project deals with the development of a
Catalytic sieving of ATC gamma-peptide foldamers – CatFold
Catalytic processes form the fundamentals of modern chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In the developed industrial countries catalytic processes create about 20% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) making production of catalysts a strategic importance for the country economy. Chemical catalysts
Catalyzed Carbon Mineralization Integrated to Capture – CARMIN
Climate emergency related to greenhouse gas emissions calls for the development of large-scale solutions for the capture, storage and use of CO2. Direct aqueous carbonation of magnesium or calcium silicates, widely abundant in the rocks that make up the earth's mantle and in the waste products from
Cationic Covalent Organic Frameworks as Anion Exchange Membranes for Electrochemical Energy Applications – COFFEE
The COFFEE project is a fundamental research project that seeks to combine research expertise from different European research institutes and universities, across multiple areas of materials chemistry to develop innovative anion exchange membrane (AEM) solutions for electrochemical energy conversion
Causality in quantum information – CausaQ
In recent years, quantum information has emerges as one of the raising forces of the information era. Encoding information within quantum systems, and manipulating them in a controlled manner, leads to great gains in terms of information processing. Yet the precise origin of these gains remains, to
