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 ...

Sensing toxicants in Marine waters makes Sense using biosensors (SMS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"SMS will deliver a novel automated networked system that will enable real-time in situ monitoring of marine water chemical and ecological status in coastal areas by the detection of a series of contaminants regulated by the MSFD. SMS will design a multi-modular apparatus that will host in a single unit—the Main Box (MB)—a Sampling Module and an Analysis Module. The former will contain sample coll ...
