The new Bruker Icon AFM installed at IMEP-LaHC in late October offers conventional topographical measurement capabilities with resolutions of around a nanometer. There’s nothing revolutionary about that. However, the microscope does have some new capabilities that are not available anywhere else in Grenoble. The equipment’s “Data Cube” mode delivers point-by-point electrical and physical measurements across […] >>

The EU Activage project, coordinated by IRT Nanoelec and the Isère General Council in France, has now entered the testing phase. Between now and April of 2020, 150 senior citizens in Isère will engage in a year-long test of digital solutions developed to meet their needs. The solutions, designed to boost comfort and safety at […] >>

Eveon and LMGP have been working together for several years through the Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma Biomedical Engineering program. Today, the partners are ramping up their collaboration through a joint lab funded by the Grenoble-Alpes University IDEX. The lab will investigate the impact of different materials and fluidics processes on the stability of therapeutic proteins. […] >>

Solar panels produce renewable energy, of course. However, like any manufactured product, solar cells also produce waste. In fact, 40% of the ultra-pure silicon used to make photovoltaic cells goes to waste during the diamond-wire cutting process. Startup Rosi was created in late 2017 to reduce this massive waste. The company is combining a chemical […] >>

Germanium produced with very few impurities is thought to be compatible with ballistic (impact-free) transport of electrons or holes. In addition, theoretically, holes offer strong spin-orbit coupling. Researchers from INAC working with colleagues from the UK and the Netherlands* recently demonstrated these two theoretical properties in the lab on a quantum electronic system built specifically […] >>
