Catherine Picart (a Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma faculty member, LMGP researcher, and, since September 1, director of healthcare research at IRIG) won the French Academy of Science 2019 Émilia Valori award on October 15. The award recognizes a significant contribution to a field likely to have technological applications. Picart’s research definitely fits that description: she […] >>

G2E Lab research director and magnetic microsystems expert Orphée Cugat will receive the CNRS (France’s national center for scientific research) innovation medal on December 12. “The award is being given in my name, but it is the result of the work of an entire team,” said Cugat, who hopes that the win will draw attention […] >>

Remedee, a Grenoble-based startup, is developing a pain management solution based on stimulating the secretion of pain-relieving endorphins. The company recently announced that it had completed a second round of fundraising, bringing in €8.5 million*. Remedee’s solution leverages a 1 sq. mm chip developed with Leti that emits very-high-frequency (60 GHz) waves when it comes […] >>

Grenoble-based startup Diabeloop won the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) InnovEIT award in October for its D4Kids project to develop an automated diabetes-management system for children suffering from type 1 diabetes. The future system will improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the occurrence of hypo- and hyperglycemia. The system’s graphical user interface […] >>

How can DFT (density functional theory) and small-angle neutron scattering be combined to create new enzymes? The answer is in an article published by an international team that included researchers from IRIG and ILL. The researchers pointed out that DFT, originally used for systems of tens of atoms, can now attain—or even surpass—100,000 atoms. This […] >>
