KaïronKem, which specializes in custom synthesis, now sells a line of purely organic dyes (orange, red, and purple) developed by INAC. These metal-free dyes are the result of research INAC has been conducting since 2009. The dyes’ conversion yields still top out at 6%, but thanks to their high absorption they can cut the amount […] >>

We could one day see electronic components that combine electric and magnetic currents. A Grenoble-based team of researchers from INAC, UJF, Crocus, CNRS, and Thales has just made a step toward this potential breakthrough. The researchers injected spin-polarized electrons into germanium, a material compatible with microelectronics applications, at room temperature. They used a tunnel junction […] >>

Patrick Duréault, the General Manager of STMicroelectronics’ Grenoble facility, was elected Chairman of the Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma Board on December 6, 2012. He succeeds Louis Zangara. His role is to ensure that the 40-member Board—made up of elected students, staff, faculty, and company representatives—functions as intended. The Board is responsible for approving the school’s […] >>

Germanium-Antimony-Tellurium, or GST, is a phase-change material that passes from an amorphous to a crystalline state at temperatures of 100°C to 150°C, making it a good candidate for phase-change memory. However, when looking at GST samples under a transmission microscope, scientists observed that these properties actually turn into a disadvantage. During the ion-beam preparation phase, […] >>

The first-ever “Grenoble Institute of Technology Information Day” will be held at Ense3 on February 16, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This new event will provide valuable information about Grenoble Institute of Technology’s six engineering schools to students enrolled in high school, engineering school preparatory programs, university technology programs, and their families. The […] >>
