A Bilateral project between Portugal and France in the framework of Programa Pessoa from FCT, Portugal and CampusFrance, France, RadioAdvcell is focused on targeted radiotherapy. The main aim of this project is to evaluate the radiobiological effects of 64Copper-based agents for targeted radionuclide therapy in advanced 3D cellular models. This project gathers a team of […]
Nitrate concentrations in groundwater systems, often exceed the statutory limits for drinking water, defined in the Groundwater Directive (GWD, 2006/118/EC), making these groundwater bodies fail to meet ´Good Status´ according to the exigencies of the European Water Framework Directive. This project deals with the use of nuclear techniques to identify the main source of nitrates

Climate change has already begun and will continue to alter the water cycle, increasing risks of drought in Portugal. This situation, affects the availability and dependency on groundwater resources, source of 45–65% of the total fresh water demands in the country. Project develops the identification of salts origin in the coastal groundwater systems Faro –
The M-ERA.NET project THERMOSS has as core concept to develop and deliver new energy harvesting thermoelectric materials and modules based on n-Mg2X(X:Si,Sn) and p-Cu12-x(Co,Ni,Zn)xSb4S13-zSez systems. Focus will be put on the materials/modules design/synthesis, optimization, properties and characterization as well as the investigation of possible applications. Specific research objectives are (a) optimized synthesis of cost-effective highly
The ISOLTOPSUP is a FCT project that has as the main scientific goal the identification, preparation and study of high-quality topological insulators. Emphasis in made on novel compounds that have recently been theoretically suggested as very promising, like 5f (uranium) compounds that are semiconductors, non-magnetic and feature a large spin-orbit coupling favoring band inversion at
The scope of the FCT project Exhaust2Energy is to propose a novel automotive exhaust heat thermoelectric generator concept based on low profile modules and low thermal resistance heat source and heat sink heat exchangers based on temperature controlled phase change heat transfer. The generator was designed for application into a conventional or hybrid vehicle in
To carry out the transition to a decarbonised energy supply implies continuous innovation in materials and in low-carbon energy technologies. LocalEnergy is a FCT project that is in line with this strategy, by addressing the development and exploitation of environmental-friendly and scalable low-cost technologies related to energy conversion. The goal and research focus of LocalEnergy
The SPINCROSSOVER project has two distinct objectives: The first one is to enhance the knowledge regarding the main structural features that control the spin crossover (SCO) transition and the second is to use that knowledge to create guidelines for the intelligent design of SCO materials, with special attention to materials able to retain metastable high-spin
NEUTRABILITY is a FCT project aiming at of designing new soluble Single Component Molecular Metals (SCMM) and test them as components of the active layer of optimize organic electronic devices. Coordinator at IST: Dulce Belo – dbelo@ctn.tecnico.ulisboa.pt
