FLEX-HAB: Flexible structures for future habitat solutions

13th Cycle, 2017

The project will be concentrated on creating a technology push for a new material. The MadFlex (PCT WO2016120785 A1) is a lightweight asymmetric composite material panel, having a sandwich-like structure. It exhibits two order-of-magnitude difference in bending stiffness, depending by the direction of the applied bending moment, thanks to a reversible buckling phenomenon of one

RaFrBio: Radio Frequency Bio-sensors for molecular detection

13th Cycle, 2017

The development of RF biosensors for biomolecular detection is a very recent trend and is still in the early stages of definition. The introduction of carbon-based nanomaterials thin film seems promising not only for the detection of biomolecules but also for the realization of passive biosensors for diagnosis of various cancers (breast, prostate …) as

DREAM 3: DRone tEchnology for wAter resources and hydrologic hazards Monitoring 3

13th Cycle, 2017

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation

Willchair: Reinventing the wheels… into wills

2009, 5th Cycle, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The scope of the willchair project, from its very beginning, was left intentionally broad and unfocused aiming at having the students find their way in the complex world of assistive technologies for mobility impaired people. Students have been encouraged to apply a User Centered Design approach in order to change the project paradigm starting from

Pure Wings: H2-supplied electric aircraft. Enabling technologies for innovative hydrogen aircraft propulsion with operation costs and logistics impact evaluation

2009, 5th Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Now more than ever, the establishment of a sustainable energy future is one of the most pressing tasks of mankind. The increasing prices of fossil fuel sources and the climate change issues moved the research to new fields and new frontiers. In the world of aeronautics, this problem is becoming a key issue due to
