The GreEn-ER center for innovation in renewable resources and energy has been up and running for a year now. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on December 5. Every day, some 1,500 people—students enrolled at Ense3 and in Masters programs like Grenoble-Alps University’s UFR Phitem and researchers from G2ELAB* and the Institut Carnot Énergies du […] >>

Publisher ISTE recently released Nanoelectronic Devices, a scientific journal available in English and French free of charge for both authors and readers. The journal will be published several times per year and the peer review committee members—including experts from the CNRS, Leti, and Soitec—are all Grenoble-based. Francis Balestra of IMEP-LaHC is the Editor-in-Chief. Nanoelectronic Devices […] >>

IMEP-LaHC and Leti will host a meeting on March 10, 2017 on RF and millimeter wave integrated circuits and systems, which have direct applications in radar, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. The meeting will focus on reliability, ultra-low-power, achieving frequencies up to 150 GHz and beyond, and embedded and in situ characterization. The […] >>

Grenoble’s TIMA lab and a consortium of partners are working on a project backed by the ANR, France’s national research agency, to develop a wireless pacemaker. TIMA’s energy-harvesting system, which is built on a multilayer piezoelectric blade, has already brought in some excellent results, operating in a simulated environment for 109 cycles (which corresponds to […] >>

Wilson’s disease, a genetic disorder that causes copper to build up in the liver, is treated using chelating agents to remove the metal. Research conducted by INAC, BIG*, and DCM** looked at two chelating agents that could ultimately offer improved penetration into liver cells. The chelating agents were functionalized with N-Acetylgalactosamine, a sugar that interacts […] >>
