LMGP recently acquired a robot capable of high-throughput thin-film deposition. The robot marks a significant improvement over the lab’s previous equipment—and will save its researchers valuable time. The new Tecan robot automates tasks that, up until now, were done manually. It makes films that require a large number of layer-by-layer deposits directly on substrates with […] >>

Sofradir and Leti recently celebrated ten years of joint research. And their decade of partnership has been fruitful, with nearly a hundred employees involved in several world firsts and a number of major new innovations in the works. The joint lab works on cooled infrared components, covering all aspects of development, from metallurgy and electronics […] >>

The Kwant quantum transport package was developed by researchers from France (INAC) and the Netherlands over a period of three years. It is designed with one goal in mind: to make physicists’ lives simpler. Easy to use and quick to program, the Python-based solution is known for its fast, accurate results. More than just a […] >>

The performance of PEFMC-type fuel cells often boils down to details like the physical and chemical characteristics of the 5-nm polymer film used to coat the platinized carbon of an electrode. Researchers at INAC joined forces with their Canadian colleagues to study the issue. They used statistics-based mechanical design tools to develop a digital model […] >>

A team of INAC-Liten researchers has developed MRI contrast agents that are twelve times more effective than those currently on the market. They used a novel method for encapsulating the active ingredient, gadolinium, which enhances MRI contrast—but is toxic. Gadolinium is usually encapsulated in organic ligands when used in MRI tests to keep it from […] >>
