Some materials, such as elastic polymers, become birefringent when mechanically stressed. A collaboration between Liphy and Saint-Gobain studies the visualization of stresses in confined elastomers.

Recycling without polluting is one of the biggest challenges that chemistry faces today. Regarding metals, recycling involves highly polluting liquid-liquid extraction processes, thus requiring innovative systems in this...

This summer, the concentration of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere reached 419 ppm, i.e. a 50% excess compared to the pre-industrial era. Air/liquid interfaces stabilized by surface-active molecules open new strategies for ...

Vacuoles are compartments delimited by a membrane and filled with water and ions. They play a crucial role in regulating the cellular turgor pressure of plants. This internship will reproduce in-silico vacuole networks.

Counting and characterizing molecules in their biological environment is an important challenge for our fundamental understanding of life but also for clinical prospects (regenerative medicine, etc.).

Acoustic meta-materials have extraordinary properties such as a negative refractive index or super-absorption, and give hope to create coats of invisibility around an object or to make echoes disappear.

This interdisciplinary project, between chemistry and physics, aims at designing a novel strategy to tackle a great environmental challenge: filter and separate light gases.

The energy of saline gradients, such as fresh water and sea water, is an alternative energy source with an enormous potential estimated to 1 TW world-wide. However this alternative energy is still largely unsued, as its ...

A route towards in vivo molecular diagnostics. Internship at UGA/CEA/CNRS lab Molecular Systems and nanoMaterials for Energy and Health (SyMMES)

Periodic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (nanoPMOs), obtained by the hydrolysis-condensation of bridged organo-bis(triethoxysilanes) have found promising application for drug delivery, but have only scarcely been d...

Investigation of a new class of photocatalysts based on composites systems obtained by connexion between quantum dots and metallic nanoparticles in colloidal state.

The purpose of the proposed internship is to understand the dynamics of the bacterial nucleoid through coarse-grained molecular modeling and simulations.

A study the cold denaturation of proteins by means of physical methods as neutron scattering experiments, calorimetry, densitometry and others. Internship at the Institute Laue Langevin.

The modeling of crowd movements has become a very active field of research, and deep debates still animate the community on how to model certain behaviors such as panic movements. In this case, the "faster-is-slower" eff...

The LTM (Laboratory of the Technologies of Microelectronics, Grenoble) has a unique expertise in the design of substrates for 2D cell culture that exhibit controlled mechanical properties mimicking the mechanical propert...

Alongside their native, functional structure, proteins tend to aggregate, resulting in the irreversible loss of the native protein conformation and function.

The energy of mixing for instance between sea water and river fresh water appears as a major and promising source of renewable energy.

Liposomes have been the most successful type of nanomedicine for cancer patients, playing a leading role in improving the tolerability of chemotherapeutics.

Luminescence nanothermometry consists in measuring the temperature at the nanoscale without using contact probes which can, at this scale, affect the measurement ...

Understanding what differentiates an inert object from living matter is a fundamental question in biology. Living matter is dynamic and requires a continuous energy consumption; however, the fundamental principles of its...

The goal of this project is to design a self-organizing protein nano-structure capable of selectively trapping volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and then allowing their identification through an optoelectronic nose.

The modeling of crowd movements has become a very active field of research, and deep debates still animate the community on how to model certain behaviors such as panic movements. In this case, the "faster-is-slower" eff...

From planctonic species to large mammals, the movements of marine organisms span a wide range of length and time scales. Their individual and collective movements as well as their intra- and extra-species mutual interact...

Some materials, such as elastic polymers, become birefringent when mechanically stressed. A collaboration between Liphy and Saint-Gobain studies the visualization of stresses in confined elastomers.

An original process of sono crystallization allows to confine and favor the nucleation and growth of organic nanocrystals (NCs) in droplets by applying ultrasounds ...

Human insulin is a therapeutic protein widely used to control blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. But insulin aggregation in plastic tubings reduces its bio-activity. The aggregates formed are called amyloid fiber...

The energy of saline gradients, such as fresh water and sea water, is an alternative energy source with an enormous potential estimated to 1 TW world-wide. However this alternative energy is still largely unsued, as its ...

LRP team discovered recently the presence of long-range attraction in suspensions of micro-particles made of complex polyelectrolytes. These properties open the way to new applications.
