QUANTItative scanning probe microscopy techniques for HEAT transfer management in nanomaterials and nanodevices (QUANTIHEAT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
The thermal properties of nanostructured materials are of fundamental importance to modern technology, but at present reproducible metrological definitions, tools and methods do not exist. This is because the mechanisms of heat transport at the nanoscale are entirely different to those at the macro scale.The project will place nanothermal metrology on a solid basis by an integrated physics-based e ...

An international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere and re-entry research (QB50)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The QB50 Project will demonstrate the possibility of launching a network of 50 CubeSats built by CubeSat teams from all over the world to perform first-class science and in-orbit demonstration in the largely unexplored middle and lower thermosphere. Space agencies are currently not pursuing a multi-spacecraft network for in-situ measurements in the middle and lower thermosphere because the cost of ...

MEMS-Based Electric Micropropulsion for Small Spacecraft to Enable Robotic Space Exploration and Space Science (MicroThrust)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
Our MicroThrust proposal addresses the FP7 target for advanced in-space propulsion technologies for solar system exploration. This research provides a key component in facilitating exploration missions: a technology that can substantially reduce the cost of undertaking particular types of robotic exploration. Building on the framework of a successful ESA study, our team of leading academics, resea ...
