Now Leti researchers can test wireless connections without having to perform costly and time-consuming on-site tests. Leti (via the IRT NanoElec research institute) has recently acquired a wireless channel emulator—the first of its kind in France. It lets engineers easily test the effects of electromagnetic environments (like multipath channels) and electromagnetic disruptors on the performance […] >>

The MINATEC nanocharacterization platform now boasts two new state-of-the-art machines: a rapid plasma etching system using xenon ions; and a unique x-ray tomographic microscope for generating 3D images. This cutting-edge equipment will help scientists better understand and improve the reliability of large-scale 3D components. The etching system operates some 60 times faster than conventional gallium-ion-beam […] >>

Pierre Benech, Dean of Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma engineering school, was officially reappointed for a second five-year term in January.
