Nanowire Structures for Energy Conversion (WISE)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
"Semiconducting nanowires and in particular their heterostructures could be of paramount importance for energy conversion. These structures hold great potential to provide a means of manipulating phonons by preserving the electronic properties. Our primary goal is to provide novel semiconductor nanostructures possessing enhanced phonon scattering which leads to a selective reduction of thermal con ...

Guardian Angels for a Smarter Life (Guardian Angels)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
Guardian Angels (GA) are future zero-power, intelligent, autonomous systems-of-systems featuring sensing, computation, and communication beyond human aptitudes. GA will assist humans from their infancy to old age in complex life situations and environments. Zero-power reflects system-of-systems ability to scavenge energy in dynamic environments by disruptive harvesting techniques. The project prep ...

Coupling charge transport to internal degrees of freedom at the single molecule level (SINGLE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,
By exploiting the internal degrees of freedom of molecules the idea underlying the present proposal is to project electronic function resembling transistors, diodes, switches, or memory onto a single molecule prepared by chemical synthesis. The scientific aim is to understand transmolecular conductance at a single molecule level and how it is affected by the strength of the electronic coupling to ...
