SecureCells: A Secure Compartmentalized Architecture
Babak Falsafi, Mathias Josef Payer, Yuanlong Li, Florian Hofhammer, Siddharth Gupta, Atri Bhattacharyya, Andrés Sánchez Marín
Modern programs are monolithic, combining code of varied provenance without isolation, all the while running on network-connected devices. A vulnerability in any component may compromise code and data of all other components. Compartmentalization separates ...
2023Thermodynamics of organic electrochemical transistors
Though models describing the operating mechanism of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have been developed, these models are unable to accurately reproduce OECT electrical characteristics. Here, the authors report a thermodynamic-based framework t ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Thermal activation parameters of plastic flow reveal deformation mechanisms in the CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy
William Curtin, Céline Varvenne, Joël Bonneville
To reveal the operating mechanisms of plastic deformation in an FCC high-entropy alloy, the activation volumes in CrMnFeCoNi have been measured as a function of plastic strain and temperature between 77 K and 423 K using repeated load relaxation experiment ...
2018Energy-Efficient Co-Design Optimization of Many-Core Platforms for Big-Data Streaming Applications
Big-Data streaming applications are used in several domains such as social media analysis, financial analysis, video annotation, surveillance, medical services and traffic prediction. These applications, running on different types of platforms from mobile ...
EPFL2015SpiroZin1: A Reversible and pH-Insensitive, Reaction-Based, Red-Fluorescent Probe for Imaging Biological Mobile Zinc
A reversible, reaction-based sensor for biol. mobile zinc was designed, prepd., and characterized. The sensing mechanism of this probe is based on the zinc-induced, ring-opening reaction of spirobenzopyran to give a cyanine fluorophore that emits in the de ...

Horst Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Rudolf Hovius, Cédric Deluz, Luigino Grasso, Romain Wyss, Ghérici Hassaïne, Menno Berend Tol
Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels of the Cys-loop receptor family mediate fast neurotransmission throughout the nervous system. The molecular processes of neurotransmitter binding, subsequent opening of the ion channel and ion permeation remain poorly un ...
Nature Publishing Group2014Dynamic Fine-Grained Scheduling for Energy-Efficient Main-Memory Queries
Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün, Danica Porobic, Iraklis Psaroudakis, Erietta Liarou
Power and cooling costs are some of the highest costs in data centers today, which make improvement in energy efficiency crucial. Energy efficiency is also a major design point for chips that power whole ranges of computing devices. One important goal in t ...
2014The Effect of Aluminum in Solution on the Dissolution of Amorphous Silica and its Relation to Cementitious Systems
Karen Scrivener, Theodor Alexandre Emmanuele Chappex
One of the most serious causes of degradation of concrete is the alkalisilica reaction. Amorphous silicates present in certain aggregates react with the alkaline pore solution of the concrete to form a gel, which absorbs water and swells, leading to the ex ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013Interaction sol-structure dans le domaine des ponts intégraux
Over the past decades, an increasing number of integral bridges have been built. This type of bridge offers various advantages in comparison with standard bridges equipped with expansion joints and bearings. In particular, integral bridges require less mai ...
EPFL2010Panchromatic Response in Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Containing Phosphorescent Energy Relay Dyes
Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jun Ho Yum, Soo-Jin Moon
Running relay: Incorporating an energy-relay dye (ERD) into the hole transporter of a dye-sensitized solar cell increased power-conversion efficiency by 29 % by extending light harvesting into the blue region. In the operating mechanism (see picture), abso ...
