CIVIS

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Smart grids make current energy networks more intelligent and accessible; new ways of producing energy will soon make citizens not only energy users but also energy producers. The CIVIS project explores the potential of social networks and communities to significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions. We'll enable this by developing business models for the resulting energy value system and s ...

Mesoscopic heattronics: thermal and nonequilibrium effects and fluctuations in nanoelectronics (Heattronics)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Few systems in nature are entirely in equilibrium. Out of equilibrium, there are heat currents, and different degrees of freedom or parts of studied systems may be described by entirely different temperatures if the concept of temperature is at all well defined. In this project we will study the emergence of the subsystem temperatures in different types of small electronic systems, and the physica ...

Digital Generation of High Resolution Objects (DiGHiRO)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

This proposal presents a development project for a micro scale Additive Manufacturing (AM) system. AM systems can take computer designed or scanned files describing 3-dimensional shapes and make physical (often plastic or metallic ) objects. Typical AM systems make objects that have feature sizes suitable for human interaction; the low end being a fraction of a millimeter. The proposal presents re ...

Suspended Graphene Nanostructures (RODIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The RODIN-project, which seamlessly integrates experimental, industrial and theoretical work, is organized around the concept of suspended single-and few-layer graphene nanostructures and annealed diamond-like carbon films. These structures are ideal for accessing and engineering the intrinsic material properties of graphene. In particular we will focus on engineering and measuring the mechanical ...

Geometric phases, pumping, and dissipation in quantum devices (GEOMDISS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The aim of this project is to investigate how dissipation influences the geometric phases and geometric pumping in quantum solid-state devices and to assess the role of geometric manipulations in future ICT applications. Since all realistic solid-state devices suffer from dissipation due to their coupling to uncontrolled environment with many degrees of freedom it is crucial to understand how the ...

Ensuring Advancement in Sandwich Construction through Innovation and Exploitation (EASIE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Sandwich panels are modern lightweight building components used to cover walls and roofs of buildings and to isolate spaces inside buildings. They are typically made of two thin metal sheets with an insulating core between the faces. The use of sandwich panels is continuously increasing and new application areas are opened in industrial, residential and office buildings. The European Standard for ...
