Continuing the Resource Allocation Plan presented to FAPESP in 2020, the present Institutional Project for the Research Infrastructure of the USP Physics Institute was reviewed and adapted to current needs. This infrastructure project was approved by the IFUSP Congregation on March 28, 2024. Investments are planned in the IFUSP Computing Center, with an emphasis on the security of the wir…
Continuing with the Resource Allocation Plan presented to FAPESP in 2018, the present Institutional Project for Research Infrastructure of the Institute of Physics was revised and adapted to current needs and endorsed by the IFUSP Congregation on August 27, 2020. Investments will be directed to the IFUSP Computing Center, with an emphasis on the renewal of data storage disks that have sho…
Much of the energy consumed in the world is derived directly or indirectly from the burning of carbon-based fossil fuels, which is also the ran material for an extensive chain of products. The burning of carbon-based fossil fuels is directly linked with the increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is one the sources that contribute to the global warning along with CH4. The…
This project aims to study aerosol particles composed of biogenic molecules emitted by the Amazonian flora using modern and robust methodology to identify the main interactions of biogenic molecules in the presence of pollutants in cloud drops. Thus, it is intended to clarify several open questions about the effects of pollutants on the properties of droplets, such as the forms of aggrega…
In recent decades, the Amazon region has undergone a significant change in the dynamics of land use and occupation. These changes have significantly contributed to the increase in the concentration of aerosol particles and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although there are great advances in research in the environmental area, especially in climate change, the role of biogenic aerosol …
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials with structured nanopores that have been the focus of intense research over the past decade. Although the potential of MOFs for CO2 capture is recognized, a systematic characterization of the interactions between MOFs and the most abundant molecules in atmospheric gas, and how these interactions can be chemically modulat…
The intense industrial development caused the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, especially in urban areas. This gas contributes significantly to the greenhouse effect, thus the proportion of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere composition should be limited. So it is highly important, on behalf of an environmental point of view, the possibility to remove part…
This project addresses the interactions between electrons and some complexes and derivatives of the nucleobases thymine (T) and uracil (U). These studies are motivated by the damage to biomolecules, such as DNA strand breaks, induced by electron attachment.The proposal considers important novel aspects related to the search for radiosensitizing drugs for cancer treatment and to new experi…
