Sensitizer Activated Nanostructured Solar Cells (SANS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Widespread uptake of inorganic semiconductor solar cells has been limited, with current solar cell arrays only producing arround 10 GW of the 15 TW (~0.06%) global energy demand, despite the terrestrial solar resource being 120,000 TW. The industry is growing at a cumulative rate of over 40% per annum, even with effects of the financial crisis. However, to contribute to global power this century, ...

HIGH PERFORMANCE NANOSTRUCTURE PERMANENT MAGNETS (NANOPERMAG)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The development of a new generation of permanent magnets is more urgent than ever in view of the demand for more efficient engines in wind energy, all electric cars and space applications. The purpose of this proposal is to exploit the opportunities available to fabricate powders of magnetically hard rare earth intermetallic nanoparticles/nanograins to develop new classes of anisotropic nanocompo ...

Astroparticle Physics has become a mature and well accepted science discipline. Demonstrated by many world class projects currently developed and run by European Astroparticle physicists, Europe as a whole is the main promoter and leading the field. As a merit of ASPERA (AStroparticle Physics European Research Area network, http://www.aspera-eu.org ), the ERA-NET in Astroparticle Physics funded in ...

Surface Physics for Advanced Manufacturing (SPAM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"Today, markets demand smaller, cheaper, energy friendly and more different consumer products. Last decades micro technology has opened possibilities for mobile communication, safety and health science products. To meet these demands, the industry is encountering technological barriers that prevent the industry from evolving from the micro to a nanotechnology era. To resolve these barriers, the i ...

Recent technological advances allow the targeted production of objects and materials in the nanoscale (smaller than 100 nm). Nanomaterials have chemical, physical and bioactive characteristics, which are different from those of larger entities of the same materials. Nanoparticles can pass through body barriers. This is interesting for medical applications, but it raises concerns about their health ...

Nanoparticles (NP) have unique, potentially beneficial properties, but their possible impact on human health has not been adequately assessed. The main goal of this proposal is to develop alternative high-throughput testing strategies using in vitro and in silico methods to assess the toxicological profile of NP used in medical diagnostics. Our specific aims are to: 1. Define NP properties and ful ...

Material Development for Double exposure and Double patterning (MD3)

Start date: Dec 1, 2007, End date: Nov 30, 2009,

Double patterning lithography has been identified as one of the most promising solutions for the 32nm node patterning. This technique refers to a two step process where a first pattern is exposed, developed and sometimes etched and a second pattern is also exposed, developed and transferred on the top of the first one. For the moment, several issues still need to be addressed for enabling the Doub ...
