Light alloys, like Al, have shown to be good options for replacing steel in many sectors due to higher thermal conductivity and weight reduction they allow, which has become crucial e.g. for e-mobility. However, without protection, recycled Al is prone to corrosion under operation in harsh environments (e.g. heat exchangers in heat storage units...The shape of water: Nanothermometry as a tool to unveil the structure of liquid water and water-based nanofluids (PTDC/NAN-PRO/3881/2020)

European ComissionCoordinator
Immunoglobulins (or antibodies) are molecules produced by our white blood cells; the immunoglobins recognise 'invaders' and aid in their destruction. Humans make five different classes, one of which is similar in function to IgY, an unusual antibody made by chickens. The circulating IgY accumulates in the yolk of chicken eggs. This is convenient...Transform - Transformação digital do setor florestal para uma economia resiliente e hipocarbónica (TRANSFORM (P4.5. Moldes para embalagens sustentáveis e biodegradáveis))

European ComissionCoordinator
Reaching a record high of 32.5 gigatonnes in 2017, global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion continue to increase. Adsorption is considered a viable technology to reduce CO2 emissions. Because of its lower regeneration cost, amine-modified porous silica (AMPS) is the most promising CO2-adsorbent material for replacing the decades-old liqu...Valorization of solid residues from the processing of chestnuts: extraction of biopolymers and preparation of biodegradable films (ChestFilm)
