Abstract

L’entrevue retourne sur la genèse de la jeune startup vaudoise, MeduSoil, avec l’un de ses créateurs, Dr. Dimitrios Terzis. Ce dernier jette brièvement les bases de cette technique révolutionnaire, qui reste toutefois assez simple et pratique, et vise principalement à cimenter les sols friables pour de maintes fins. Celles-ci peuvent notamment viser l’érosion des sols, la stabilité des pentes, la liquéfaction des sols, le renforcement de fondations, les constructions côtières, et bien d’autres. La méthode s’applique à une grande palette de conditions naturelles, tout en restant moins polluante, moins onéreuse et en respectant la perméabilité naturelle du sous-sol, dont l’écoulement reste inchangé.

Curiosity (rover)

Curiosity is a car-sized Mars rover exploring Gale crater and Mount Sharp on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission. Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral (CCAFS) on November 26, 2011, at 15:02:00 UTC and landed on Aeolis Palus inside Gale crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17:57 UTC. The Bradbury Landing site was less than from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a journey.

Ain

Ain (æ̃, ɛ̃; En) is a French department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Eastern France. Named after the Ain river, it is bordered by the Saône and Rhône rivers. Ain is located on the country's eastern edge, on the Swiss border, where it neighbours the cantons of Geneva and Vaud. In 2019, it had a population of 652,432. Ain is composed of four geographically different areas (Bresse, Dombes, Bugey and Pays de Gex), each of which contribute to the diverse and dynamic economic development of the department.

Glucose

Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula . Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight, where it is used to make cellulose in cell walls, the most abundant carbohydrate in the world. In energy metabolism, glucose is the most important source of energy in all organisms. Glucose for metabolism is stored as a polymer, in plants mainly as starch and amylopectin, and in animals as glycogen.
