G2Elab recently acquired a particularly buzz-worthy piece of characterization equipment. The eagerly-awaited TF3000, a state-of-the-art ferroelectric tester from aixACCT, will also be useful to scientists at TIMA, LTM, and LMGP. The tester will provide a host of new characterization capabilities that scientists will be able to use to test solid materials and thin films, evaluate […] >>

Grenoble INP-Phelma faculty members Fanny Poinsotte and Nicolas Ruty have been using flipped classrooms to teach their electronics classes for three years now. They are both contributing to a project called CHA(I)Se to encourage more active learning and group work. Four classrooms at MINATEC and two on the Grenoble-Alpes University campus have been equipped for […] >>

Windows with insulating glass are good for your energy bills, but bad for cellular reception. This type of glazing can attenuate cellular signals by 30 dB to 45 dB. Fortunately, IMEP-LAHC spinoff Lichens has a solution! The company’s smart plastic window films can mitigate signal attenuation by around 15 dB—enough to restore network service. The […] >>

For the past four years, Spintec has been working on a STT-MRAM memory point geometry that eliminates an etching step that degrades the magnetic layer. Their research required in-depth knowledge of the magnetic behavior of the memory points, which are deposited on 230 nm pillars spaced 400 nm apart. So, they went to the Nanocharacterization […] >>

Mustard gas has been banned by international treaties. However, it does remain a threat in certain armed conflicts and could potentially be used by terrorists. Scientists at Irig, who have been studying the effects of the gas for years, recently developed* a method for measuring the dose received. It can be used up to fourteen […] >>
