IRT Nanoelec is rolling out a new strategy for 2015–2017 with three main pillars. One of the pillars is career placement for PhDs in electronics. IRT Nanoelec will be working with Grenoble-Alps University’s Doctoral School using data from the Employment Observatory to come up with a more accurate picture of PhDs’ prospects. The goal is […] >>

The final round of the Inno’Cup Junior challenge will be held at MINATEC on July 8 and 9. This national competition* is the latest incarnation of the Franco-American Young Innovators Award. It targets a broad audience—anyone between the ages of 15 and 18 with a new idea can take part. Plus, participants don’t need any […] >>

For the first time ever this year, a duo of students from Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma engineering school has entered the Freescale Cup, an international student competition in which teams must build and program a smart miniature vehicle capable of navigating a 300-meter circuit, unseen before the actual competition, in the shortest possible amount […] >>

The international micro and nanotechnology program Nanotech is ushering in a particularly cosmopolitan class this year. Of the 38 students accepted into the program, 20 are from Italy and 9 are from France. The rest come from Ukraine, Russia, Greece, Egypt, Vietnam, and elsewhere. In terms of gender representation, however, there is still room for […] >>

Many scientists said it wasn’t possible, but PhD research supervised by LTM and LMGP recently proved the naysayers wrong, demonstrating that electrical current does, in fact, flow through silicon nanonets, unorganized networks of silicon nanowires. The research also looked at a reproducible process for making the nanonets and hybridizing them with strands of DNA. A […] >>
