Maison MINATEC will welcome the 7th French-American Workshop on June 21–22, 2018. The event, which is run by GIANT, aims to build a French-American network of stakeholders from research and industry. Nearly 150 students, researchers, members of the diplomatic corps, and representatives of financing agencies are expected to attend. On Thursday, Grenoble Institute of Technology […] >>

LMGP is investigating whether it is possible to design superhydrophobic coatings that repel water for their entire lifetime. The research is being conducted under the French-American REACT project financed by the French National Research Agency, the CEMAM Laboratory of Excellence, and the US National Science Foundation. One of the goals of the project is to […] >>

In research conducted under a contract between the CEA and UCI (the world’s governing body for professional cycling), Leti is developing a system capable of detecting an electric motor hidden in a bicycle in real time. The researchers are planning to develop a lightweight, compact, and reliable embedded tracker. They selected a magnetometer to detect […] >>

LMGP has been working on bioactive surfaces for bone regeneration for a decade. Today, the lab is internationally-recognized as a leader on the subject. It all started when biophysicist Catherine Picart came to LMGP in 2008. The story continued with four European Research Council grants, dozens of publications, three patents, and—more recently—planned startup Regenerbone. In […] >>

Researchers at INAC and Grenoble-Alpes University recently demonstrated that it is possible to efficiently produce hydrogen using artificial photosynthesis in solution without the need for toxic, expensive photosensitizing agents. The researchers used nanocrystals with a copper sulfide and indium core protected by a zinc and sulfur shell, plus a cobalt-based molecular catalyst. They produced hydrogen […] >>
