The education and training program, headed by GEM’s Sylvie Blanco and Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Youla Morfouli, will narrow its focus to fewer, but more ambitious programs developed […] >>

What happens when you take a water electrolysis cell, add some nickel-encapsulated iron carbide nanoparticles, and apply an alternative high-frequency magnetic field to the whole thing? The catalytic activity inside the unit is several times what you usually get! Researchers at LEPMI and INSA Toulouse recently completed proof-of-concept testing of the phenomenon. They hope that […] >>

Leti recently successfully completed field testing on a low-energy, long-range 5G communications technology (LWPA) for the Internet of Things. The technology has achieved better results than commercially-available solutions in terms of range, energy consumption, and data transmission speeds, which are compatible with the target applications.  Data transmission speeds are between 4 kbit/s and 3 Mbits/s.
