Irig and ESRF recently attracted the attention of the global nanoelectronics community when they produced defect-free single-crystal graphene layers measuring several square millimeters. The tiny layers are a million times larger than the square micron commonly obtained until now! The researchers did it by growing the 2D material on liquid copper at 1,100 °C rather […] >>

In theory, copper oxide (Cu2O) offers yields as high as crystalline silicon, plus it is non-toxic and relatively abundant. So why isn’t it used to make solar cells?Currently, the best yields obtained on the material are still far from what is theoretically possible. Plus, these yields have been observed only under vacuum or high temperatures.Researchers […] >>

A CEA-Leti PhD candidate collaborated with scientists from Gipsa-Lab and the UGA psychology and neurocognition laboratory to determine whether or not acute stress can be detected and assessed using an explainable and interpretable “white box” method. Over the course of the three-year project, they came up with a method leveraging more robust algorithms than those […] >>

Irig is one of eleven research teams in five countries that have been working on how to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication since April 2020. They are investigating synthetic peptides that bind to MPro, which plays a key role in the replication of this virus. The researchers combined several biomolecular simulation techniques to observe, at the scale […] >>

What if window glass could control how much sunlight gets into a building? The three-year M-Eranet Instead project was set up to investigate the potential of this type of solution to reduce the need for air conditioning, with potential energy savings estimated at 30%. The four project partners*, which include coordinator LMGP, will develop new […] >>
