This year’s EDF Pulse Science and Electricity Award went to Grenoble Institute of Technology faculty member Renaud Bouchet for his research on a promising new solid-electrolyte lithium battery. The international award comes with a €150,000 grant that will be used to finance two additional researchers for the project*. The new battery is expected to be […] >>

Vincent Consonni (CNRS/LMGP) and Guy Feuillet (CEA-Leti) co-edited Wide Band Gap Semiconductor Nanowires, a two-volume, 630-page book published by Wiley-ISTE. Contributions from 44 authors from around the globe cover all aspects of GaN and ZnO nanowires with chapters on the wires’ physical properties, growth techniques, integration into heterostructures, and their use in optical devices. This […] >>

INAC’s L_Sim intensive calculation team has just won its third Bull-Joseph Fourier Award in six years! L_Sim researcher Ivan Duchemin and Xavier Blase from Institut Néel won the award for their work parallelizing a code that describes the light absorption and emission mechanisms of the organic molecules used in objects like smartphone displays. Until now, […] >>

Materials physicist Pascale Bayle-Guillemaud took up the position of Deputy Director of INAC on September 1. She succeeds Armelle Mesnard. Previously, Bayle-Guillemaud had served as head of INAC’s microscopy lab at the MINATEC Nanocharacterization Platform (PFNC). Her responsibilities will align closely with the strategy outlined in INAC’s roadmap. Most notably, she will support INAC Director […] >>

The MOON project, financed by the French National Research Agency (ANR), will reach a major milestone in February, with a second round of testing on the SOLEIL synchrotron near Paris. The researchers, from LMGP and SIMaP*, will use a diffractometer equipped with an instrumented CVD reactor to observe in real time the deposition of ultra-thin […] >>
