Certaines pathologies, comme la maladie des yeux secs, viennent perturber la composition du film lacrymal qui protège la cornée. Plus précisément, ces pathologies ont un impact sur la composition en protéines de la dernière couche du film lacrymal. Ce débalancement peut avoir un impact sur l’efficacité des vecteurs de médicaments de l’équipe de recherche de […]

Climate change has become a major concern over the past decades. In this context, one of the biggest issues is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced every year around the globe. In response, researchers have discovered creative solutions to recycle CO2 via a process commonly known as CO2 fixation. More recently, the use of […]

The goal in medicine is prolong life and prevent disease before it spreads and becomes irreversible. There must be a way to easily self-monitor or to allow medical professionals to continuously remotely monitor high risk patients. The main vital signs that ideally should be constantly evaluated are pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation […]

Lithium-tellurium (Li-Te) batteries provide higher volumetric energy density than current lithium-ion batteries and are considered as one of the most promising energy storage technology for emerging applications in electric vehicles, implantable medical devices, and Internet of things. The development of stable tellurium/carbon (Te/C) cathodes is the key towards durable Li-Te batteries. However, the reaction mechanism […]

Solid-state nanopores are tiny holes in thin membranes comparable to the size of individual biomolecules like protein or DNA. They are using as sensors to detect these molecules one at a time, and have the potential to revolutionize DNA sequencing, personalized medicine, point-of-care diagnostics, and next-generation information storage methods, but have not been able to […]

Sustainable method of treating waste water is one of the major issues across the world. Different techniques have been developed by various scientific communities but each possess some limitations. So, keeping in the mind of these major limitations such as high cost , external power source requirement, huge setups , non recyclable etc, design of […]

Latex particles are widely applied in inkjet printing, painting, coating, lubrication and many other areas. The current process for latex production relies on emulsion formation and separation, requiring the use of organic solvents that are flammable and volatile with negative environmental impact. In their seminal work, Jessop et al reported switchable solvents that can be […]

The IPCC project aims to utilize the advancements in lasers, optics and semiconductor fabrication facilities to deliver a computing chip that uses laser instead on electrical signals to perform computations. The new paradigm of computation execution allows computations to be performed much faster at lower energy consumption which directly leads to lower costs for computations. […]

D-Wave Systems has designed processors based on a scalable architecture that aim to implement quantum annealing, an algorithm that can be used to solve a wide variety of optimization problems. A minimal requirement for a device to perform quantum annealing is that it maintains coherence throughout an appreciable fraction of the annealing protocol. In reality, […]

The increasing consumption of pharmaceutical to combat wide variety of diseases have caused pharmaceuticals as an emerging pollutant (EP) in water bodies and also in wastewater samples. The non-biodegradable nature of pharmaceuticals results their ineffective removal in biological systems including biological wastewater treatment units (BWTU). To combat the problem of secondary effluent from BWTU containing […]

Globally buildings are one of the sectors that consume the most energy. Thus, strategies and technologies are currently being developed to improve the energy efficiency of this sector and to work towards a low carbon economy. Latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTES) are a viable solution to improve the overall performance of renewable heating […]

Laser comms is a branch of wireless communication using a laser beam which directed at a given target, allowing higher speed connections. Specifically, we consider devices called modulators, these are used to encode information into a laser beam, analogously to sending a Morse code message. The modulator allows more of less of the laser beam […]
