This year, Nano@school, which gives high-school students an introduction to nanoscience research, is offering seven workshops—including two that are totally new. The Sensors and Microsystems workshop will be held at the CIME Nanotech lab of the same name. Students will be exposed to the sensor and measurement chain concepts covered in the high-school science and […] >>

MINATEC Director Jean-Charles Guibert was part of a delegation that travelled from Grenoble to Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Laboratory for NanoTechnology on September 19. The lab, located on the Vietnam National University campus, is emblematic of MINATEC’s long-term commitment to the LNT—since 2004 MINATEC has donated equipment, run […] >>

What do fabless semiconductors, gallium-nitride-on-silicon power transistors, electrostimulation patches to treat pain, and a motion-powered energy generator have in common? All four are MINATEC R&D projects that won awards in July (along with three other non-MINATEC projects) in France’s 16th national tech start-up contest, now called “I-Lab.” A total of five Grenoble-grown projects (eVaderis, Exagan, […] >>

For the first time ever, the MINATEC Science Fair, held during France’s national Science Week, will welcome elementary-school students. On Thursday, October 9, five elementary-school classes will come to the Science Fair, discovering booths with activities designed just for them. As always, the goal is to spark interest in science from the earliest possible age. […] >>

Construction of a new photonics lab will start this month, with delivery scheduled in Q4 2016. The new facility will be home to 230 employees of Leti’s Optics and Photonics Department, currently spread out across five different locations. The five-story building will contain a total of 12,800 m² of lab and office space and will […] >>
