Two second-year Phelma students have been invited to present at an IEEE conference alongside international PhD candidates and research scientists. The invitation is truly unexpected—but it is no hoax! An article authored by students Emrick Sinitambirivoutin and Florian Passelaigue was selected for the conference. In March Emrick presented at the Wispnet 2018 IoT conference in Chennai, India. The […] >>

Twist straintronics could give graphene new properties

  • News
  • Research
In graphene monolayers electrons behave as if they do not have any mass, giving the material its exceptional electronic properties. In bilayer graphene, however, these qualities can be substantially altered. Until now, these effects had been controlled mainly by adjusting the “twist” between the layers. A team of researchers from Grenoble-Alpes University, INAC, and Institut […] >>

  • News
  • Research
LMGP has been working on bioactive surfaces for bone regeneration for a decade. Today, the lab is internationally-recognized as a leader on the subject. It all started when biophysicist Catherine Picart came to LMGP in 2008. The story continued with four European Research Council grants, dozens of publications, three patents, and—more recently—planned startup Regenerbone. In […] >>

Inverse opals boost solar cell yields

  • News
  • Research
INAC recently obtained excellent results on new dye-based solar cells, boosting yields by more than 10% and achieving current densities of nearly 20 mA/cm2. The cells are based on a new-generation organic dye and electrodes made of titanium oxide “inverse opals” that more effectively trap and scatter light. An inverse opal is a periodic honeycomb […] >>
