Description As populations increase, more and more people are living near volcanoes and seismic faults. Accurate and precise measurement of slow-moving and small strain transients preceding volcanic eruptions and earthquakes is critical to the protection of infrastructure and human lives. Silicon...
Description Sensing changes in parameters is essential to everything from health and tire pressure to smart homes and industrial applications. Distributed fibre optic sensing (D-FOS) technologies take this one step further. The 'distribution' aspect refers to the ability to read information not at...
Description Despite the relatively good safety record of the transport sector, sudden failures of infrastructure assets are not uncommon. Extreme weather events, such as heavy rain and flooding, can result in bridge collapses and earthworks failures, which are safety critical issues. Furthermore,...
Description The evolution of technologies in virtually all fields follows a similar route, packing ever greater functionality into increasingly compact designs that simultaneously expand access due to portability and space requirements. Much as computers have evolved from mainframes to...
Description Q-SORT introduces a revolutionary concept whereby the transmission electron microscope (TEM) is employed as a so-called Quantum Sorter, i.e. a device that is able to pick out and display detailed information about electron quantum states. This in turn provides researchers with precious...
Project title : NanoFabNet – International Hub for sustainable industrial-scale Nanofabrication Description NanoFabNet is an international hub for sustainable nanofabrication whose structure, business model, detailed strategies and action plans are designed, agreed and carried by its partners...
Description This is the third core project of the Graphene Flagship. It forms the fourth phase of the FET flagship and is characterized by a continued transition towards higher technology readiness levels, without jeopardizing our strong commitment to fundamental research. Compared to the second...
Description The reliable production of innovative nanoelectronic devices requires continuous, real-time in-line control. The metrology tools required to accurately characterise products at the relevant scales of one to hundreds of nanometres have yet to be developed. State-of-the-art spectroscopy...

Realization of a 5...
CHALLENGE is a H2020-EU.2.1.3 that proposes to a new approach to improve the quality reduction of defects in bulk cubic silicon carbide material We propose a new approach to improve the quality and to reduce stress: it is necessary to modify the structure of the substrate (compliance substrate) in...
CNR-IMM Bologna is partner of the IPA/BC-monitor project , funded by Regione Emilia-Romagna in the framework of the POR FESR 2014-2020 call. The project focuses on the d evelopment of an innovative system - compact and standalone - for online measurements of two key components of the particulate...
CNR-IMM Bologna is the main R&D subcontractor of the Horizon2020 SME-Instrument "picoGC" project . The project coordinator is Pollution s.r.l. (Budrio, Italy), and Micronit Microtechnologies GmbH (Dortmund, Germany) is partner of the consortium. The aim of picoGC project is to develop a new...
EMRP SIB02-REG3 - Distributed Raman amplification for phase coherent transfer of optical frequencies
Current amplification techniques employed in transfer of optical frequencies over long distances exhibit a significant degree of complexity and impose specific constraints on the optical fibre link. The work of SIB02-REG3 project is mainly to study, characterise and experimentally demonstrate the...
Brillouin Distributed Optical Fibre Sensing is a powerful lightwave technology for measuring and mapping temperatures, deformations and pressures in thousands of industrial, civil and environmental applications using a sensing fibre cable installed along the asset to be monitored and an...
