Energy transition scenarios anticipate a substantial increase in material demand driven by the large-scale de ployment of low-carbon technologies, particularly photovoltaics. Existing assessments typically limit their time horizon to 2050, which aligns with political targets and allows identifying […]

L'inauguration de l'installation CONNECT-Plant Being s'est tenue dans le cadre du financement du petit projet CONNECT-Plant Being, finance par le PEPR ICCARE.

With global warming, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are set to increase over the next ten years (IPCC, 2023). As the world's urban population increases, reaching 75% by 2050 (UN, 2015), urban habitability during heatwaves is a major global challenge.Among the existing solutions for […]

Abstract Pd‐catalyzed reactions are among the most straightforward and efficient methods to proficiently build Csp 2 ‐Csp 2 bonds. Nevertheless, thermal activation remains mandatory in most cases, which may decrease the compatibility with sensitive functional groups. In this context, […]

Photonastic materials convert light into mechanical energy, mimicking how flowers and plants move in response to sunlight. This study focuses on polymeric photoactuators with potential applications in microfluidics, biomedicine, soft robotics, and light-driven motors. In this project, we propose to […]

The present work explores a unique yet unexplored synergy between the properties of laser micropatterned metallic surfaces and the requirements for an autonomous dew water harvesting candidate material. Laser‐patterned aluminum surfaces achieved simultaneously high infrared emissivity (up to […]

There is a growing interest to harvest water from the air by passive means (dew). However, there is surprisingly up to now no universal reference measurement for dew. The main difficulty is obtaining well-defined radiative cooling and heat exchange with air. For this purpose we report here a […]

In the context of passive atmospheric water harvesting, the thermal performance of planar dew condensers is primarily governed by radiative cooling and convective heat exchange with air. This study investigates the key parameters controlling dew condensation on a tilted plane, with particular […]

Mechanized agriculture relies heavily on fossil fuels for field operations, while facing decarbonization and environmental sustainability challenges. Phasing out fossil fuels requires alternative energy supply that can provide sufficient power to perform field tasks. However, the variability of […]
