The goal of the project is to provide clinicians a fast and reliable, velocity quantification method to explore abnormal blood flow in the most anatomically

The energy transition will require power electrical devices able to manage high voltages and high currents. Although today’s electronic converter’s market is dominated by silicon-based technology, these electronic devices have elevated intrinsic losses due to silicon physical limited properties. Thanks to their physical properties Wide-Band-Gap (WBG) semiconductors such as silicon carbides (SiC) or Gallium Nitride (GaN) or even Ultra Wide-Band Gap (UWBG) semiconductor such as diamond, Ga2O3 or AlN are particularly interesting for power electronic.

Optical wireless communications (OWC) are high-speed and highly secure communication technologies that are developed to support radio frequency solutions, which face today the rapid growth of wireless data exchanges. OWC usually employ PIN or avalanche photodiodes for optical reception.

In the framework of reducing energy losses and of improving eco-efficiency, the Lumiere project aims to better understand and model the mechanisms governing the mixed lubrication regime with the objective of a more accurate estimate of the lifetime and friction losses of the lubricated components.

Le projet X-LOSM a pour objectif la production de nouveaux miroirs diélectriques à très faibles pertes optiques en vue de leur utilisation dans des expériences de pointe employant des cavités Fabry-Pérot.

The VORTEX project proposes a new approach for exploring unknown indoor environments using a fleet of autonomous drones (UAVs). We propose to define a strategy based on swarm intelligence exploiting only vision-based behaviors. The fleet will deploy as a dynamic graph self reconfiguring according to events and discovered areas. Without requiring any mapping or wireless communication, the drones will coordinate by mutual perception and communicate by visual signs. This approach will be developed with RGB and event cameras to achieve fast and low-energy navigation.

The increasing scarcity of certain types of wood traditionally used in the manufacture of musical instruments is forcing luthiers to change their practices. This problem is now affecting species such as spruce, the main wood used to make soundboards for cordophones. Faced with this situation, the MAeStrAFone project proposes new strategies to meet both the ecological and technological challenges: making soundboards differently, while guaranteeing equivalence for the musician.

The civilian market for SiC (Silicon Carbide) power components has grown exponentially since the 2010s, thanks to the needs of the automotive and solar industries. The industrial offer is now mature for 1200 V and 1700 V SiC components, whether diodes or MOSFETs. However, as breakdown voltage increases, the supply on the market becomes increasingly scarce. This is due to the small size of the market and the technological difficulties still to be resolved. However, the SiC semiconductor is probably even more attractive at higher voltages (3.3 kV-10 kV) than Si (silicon) and SiC solutions.

Bacterial adaptation to environmental changes requires a rapid reorganization of expression pattern of their genome. This adaptive response, which is critical for both bacterial survival and pathogenicity, is mediated by specific transcription factors, DNA supercoiling and global regulators represented by abundant nucleoid-associated-proteins (NAPs), which constrain supercoils and modulate both the chromatin structure and the transcription of numerous genes.
