CryoEM-BAG France: Structural Biology using cryoEM in France
This proposal gathers Principal investigators from Institutions across France that use cryoEM to unravel the molecular mechanisms associated with different fundamental... -
Unveiling the reaction dynamics of Li3BO3 high-capacity CO2 sorbent
Solid sorbets for CO2 capture applications are a technological pathway to prevent CO2 emissions from being released to the atmosphere and are therefore a key strategy to... -
Operando investigation of CuFe-based catalysts for higher alcohol synthesis f...
In this project, by combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurements, we aim to probe the dynamic electronic, structural, and... -
Towards 3D structure determination and dynamics of biological and non-biologi...
This BAG proposal aims to conduct room temperature time-resolved serial crystallography experiments at the new ID29 beamline at ESRF. We intend to collect full data sets on... -
Unveiling the Three-Dimensional Organization of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Am...
The project aims to elucidate the 3D organization of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) amyloids. These fibrils responsible for the onset of Isolated Atrial Amyloidosis (IAA), a... -
Micro-Laue Study of Misorientation/Strain Evolution in Electrochemical Epitax...
We propose to use the micro-Laue diffraction technique at BM-32 to study the misorientation and strain in thick single-crystalline films grown by electrochemical epitaxy at room... -
Unveiling the interplay between Copper and Heme binding to Hemopexin
Hemopexin (Hpx) is a plasma glycoprotein with very high affinity for heme. It can mitigate heme-mediated oxidative stress and cardiovascular dysfunction and has promising... -
Time-resolved investigation of the dynamics of early stages of crystallizatio...
Thanks to their ability to switch reversibly between an amorphous and a crystalline state, Phase Change Materials (PCM; typically Ge-Sb-Te alloys) are attracting enormous... -
Understanding the interplay between structural chirality and molecular magnetism
A novel family of chiral SMM molecules will be investigated here at the level of a monolayer deposit assembled on Au (111) via thermal sublimation in order to evaluate if, in... -
Uniaxial pressure control of competing order in the kagome ScV6Sn6
In quantum materials, correlated phases with comparable energy scales often give rise to competing orders. In the recently discovered correlated kagome metal ScV6Sn6, we have... -
Investigating the iron oxidation state in silicate melt using nano-focused sy...
The redox conditions of the magma ocean on early Earth had a far-reaching impact on the composition and evolution of the silicate mantle and atmosphere. In this study, we... -
Thickness dependence of Electronic order and superconductivity in 1T-IrTe2 na...
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the evolution of the atomic lattice and the electronic order in layered van der Waals (vdW) materials as a function of their... -
Probing kinking and fracture dynamics of composite materials with X-ray multi...
This proposal aims to study transverse cracking and kinking of composite materials using time-resolved X-ray multi-projection imaging (XMPI) to acquire 3D measurements of such... -
Understanding the effects of Li-ion electrode calendering on active material ...
Calendering of Li-ion battery electrodes is an essential manufacturing step. Despite this, the calendering effect is only understood at a very high level, only a few studies... -
Fathoming sequestration and enrichment of rare-earth elements in marine deposits
Rare earth elements (REE) are essential to modern life, yet we know little about how they concentrate at Earth’s surface, especially on the seafloor, which holds vast reserves.... -
Investigating the complex 6p/5f valence region of uranium with M4,5-edge vale...
Actinides exhibit unique behaviour and unpredictable bonding trends thanks to a complex valence region which facilitates both 5f and 6d orbital participation in bonding, as well... -
Unravelling the nature of Ni sites during an integrated carbonate looping-met...
Two major greenhouse gases, CH4 and CO2, can be converted to syngas, an important building block in chemical industry, through an integrated carbonate looping-methane dry... -
In situ XRD and PDF study of the model cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts...
This proposal aims to study the well-defined cobalt-based FT catalysts, with particular attention to the cobalt particle sintering, their crystallographic structure, chemical... -
Li-induced Stress Distributions in Si Thin Films with Chevron-like Nanostruct...
Silicon is one of the most promising anode materials in solid-state batteries due to its very high specific capacity. Current results are however still in an infant state in... -
Towards advanced crystallography: Investigation of microcrystals at low tempe...
We propose to extend structural investigations of microcrystals localized on TEM grids towards measurements at ambient conditions and low temperatures using the nano-focus setup...
