Peptide-based diodes for solar cells (PEPDIODE)
Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
In a solar cell that converts energy as efficient as the natural plant photosystems, electrons should travel over very short distances, through an extremely ordered structure free of traps. Guided by these principles that were worked out at WIS and CUNY, we want to synthesize many different peptides, and consecutively screen variants thereof for a putative diode function. When linked to light-harv ...

Strongly anisotropic Graphite-like semiconductor/dielectric 2D nanolattices (2D-NANOLATTICES)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
Graphite-like 2D nanolattices of dielectrics and semiconductors with enhanced anisotropic electronic properties are good candidates to pave the way to the ultimate scaling and performances of future nanoelectronic devices. Graphene, the most studied representative of the 2D graphitic materials, has overshadowed research on other potential 2D nanolattices with totally unexplored physical properties ...

Biotechnology for Africa's sustainable water supply (WATERBIOTECH)
Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
"More than water scarcity, diseases and civil wars, Africa is also the least wealthy continent, in terms of economic and financial resources. These combined and tightly linked problems have led to a restricted range of choices, affordable for African countries, to deal particularly with the water issue, as a major topic. Polluted water treatment before use has been their almost unique solution to ...

Influence of periodic climate changes on the evolution of mountain ranges (Geocycl)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
Recent studies have highlighted complex linkages among erosion, tectonics and climate in active mountain belts. Although the exact nature of those interactions is still widely debated, clearly they have a crucial impact on the evolution of geologic systems. Furthermore, it is well known that Late Cenozoic climate oscillates between glacial and interglacial periods at time scales of 10-100 kyrs. Ye ...
