Two INAC labs have chalked up a major breakthrough that will make it easier for chip manufacturers to use supercapacitors in their computer chips. Researchers at these labs used a vapor chemical deposition process to create nanostructured silicon electrodes, and then made these electrodes both capacitive and stable through a special surface preparation. These electrodes […] >>

Imaginez le Future (“Imagine the Future”), an interactive conference held by the Minalogic competitive cluster, will take place in Grenoble on July 4, 2013. It will be free of charge and open to researchers and industry professionals. The event will kick off with a presentation on Minalogic’s strategic goals for 2013–2018. This will be followed […] >>

In March, Grenoble Institute of Technology will present its pioneering new three-year initial training program to the Rhône-Alpes regional government. The new program would give micro and nanoelectronics design students hands-on learning opportunities through apprenticeships with companies in the industry. And Grenoble is home to a substantial number of high-tech companies—STMicroelectronics, Dolphin Integration, Asygn, Tiempo, […] >>

The 2013 L’Etudiant-L’Express engineering school rankings were published in mid-December 2012. Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma moved up four slots from the previous year. Ranked 17th out of around 100 schools, Phelma tied with the Ecole des Mines in Nancy and another Grenoble Institute of Technology school, Ensimag. Even though the rankings were tight, the school’s […] >>

Spintec has just completed the first prototype of its patented integrated 3D compass. This innovation stands to overturn the existing technology, which uses costly and difficult-to-assemble discrete components. Spintec’s prototype uses a pyramid-shaped chip containing four magnetoresistive sensors, one on each side of the pyramid, to obtain the three components required for the local magnetic […] >>
