Researchers at IRIG joined forces with a team from Dijon to develop olfactory biosensors capable of fixing and recognizing the aromatic compounds in cheese (hexanoic acid), wine (hexanal), and raspberries (ß-ionone). The researchers designed and tested several genetic variants of proteins from the rat olfactory system for the biosensors. Although their research is still at […] >>

Morphosense was founded in 2016. Since then, Neuron, the company’s sensor-based structural health monitoring solution, has been used on land. Today, the solution, which provides 3D deformation and thee-axis vibration measurements, is  ready for offshore applications. Morphosense will respond to the monitoring needs of offshore oil and gas drilling platforms—many of which are nearing the […] >>

The Soitec-Leti Substrate Innovation Center will open a SiC (silicon carbide) pilot line in 2020 as part of a joint development program recently announced by Soitec and Applied Materials. The partners will develop solutions for electric vehicles, telecommunications, and other markets. SiC is already a leading material for these applications. However, it is less common […] >>

Lancey Energy Storage, which was founded in 2016 and which moved to MINATEC in 2017, raised €8 million this summer. The Grenoble-based startup is developing a smart electric radiator with an integrated storage battery. The product will target the residential and commercial markets. Its lithium-ion battery and electronic regulation system can effectively store the energy […] >>

Scintil Photonics was founded in 2018 and won the French national i-Lab innovation competition that same year. This year, the Grenoble-based startup is leveling up with a €4 million fundraising round. The influx of funds will push the company from four to thirteen employees by mid-2020 and support the research it is doing under a […] >>
