The objective of this scientific paper is to present the m3 metro project, in particular the Casernes-Blécherette section. The article is a summary of the final project development based on the technical report [1]. It includes the geological and hydrogeol ...
2021Molecular motor crossing the frontier of classical to quantum tunneling motion
Harald Brune, Roland Widmer, Jan Prinz, Samuel Thomas Stolz
The reliability by which molecular motor proteins convert undirected energy input into directed motion or transport has inspired the design of innumerable artificial molecular motors. We have realized and investigated an artificial molecular motor applying ...
NATL ACAD SCIENCES2020Produire de l'énergie avec les tunnels de métro
Convertir un tunnel de métro en source d'énergie géothermique, c'est la solution imaginée par des chercheurs de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Ils sont parvenus à quantifier les échanges de chaleur dans un tunnel et ont estimé l'économi ...
2019Hydro-mechanical behaviour of shot-clay bentonite
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Ali Seiphoori
Experimental tests were conducted to characterise the hydro-mechanical behaviour of shot-clay MX-80 bentonite. Granular bentonite was mixed continuously with water and shot on the walls of a tunnel section at the Grimsel Underground Research Laboratory (UR ...
Taylor & Francis2015Dimensional effects on the tunneling conductivity of gold-implanted nanocomposite films
We study the dependence of the electrical conductivity on the gold concentration of Au-implanted polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and alumina nanocomposite thin films. For Au contents larger than a critical concentration, the conductivity of Au-PMMA and Au-al ...

This study presents the results of an experimental study conducted to characterise the hydro-mechanical behaviour of shot-clay MX-80 bentonite. In the shot-clay process, granular bentonite was mixed continuously with water and shot on the walls of a tunnel ...
Elsevier2014TBM tunneling in marble rock masses with high in situ stress and large groundwater inflow: a case study in China
Two of four headrace tunnels in the Jinping II hydropower project were constructed using tunnel boring machines (TMBs). The geology along the tunnel alignment is dominantly massive to highly fractured marble and the maximum overburden depth is 2,525 m. The ...
Springer Verlag2013Heat Exchanger Anchors for Thermo-active Tunnels
Lyesse Laloui, Fabrice Dupray, Thomas Mimouni, Sophie Minon
Shallow geothermal power represents an important energy resource for the heating and cooling of the buildings. Due to relatively low temperature levels encountered at shallow depths in the soil, between 10°C and 20°C, heat pumps are required to process the ...
