Graphene 2020—next year’s incarnation of Europe’s leading conference on 2D materials—will take place from June 2 to 5 in Grenoble. The event is expected to bring 800 participants, mainly from research and industry, to the MINATEC campus and Europole congress center. Three winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics will give plenary talks: Klaus von […] >>

A team of engineering students from Grenoble headed to Boston in late November compete in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition. The team, which included four students from Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma, entered their invention, the Neurodrop teardrop test kit for Parkinson’s disease, into the contest. Neurodrop was nominated for track awards in three […] >>

Morphosense was founded in 2016. Since then, Neuron, the company’s sensor-based structural health monitoring solution, has been used on land. Today, the solution, which provides 3D deformation and thee-axis vibration measurements, is  ready for offshore applications. Morphosense will respond to the monitoring needs of offshore oil and gas drilling platforms—many of which are nearing the […] >>

Proteomics researchers are not generally well-trained in statistical methods—which often leads them to use the methods incorrectly, resulting in flawed conclusions. Researchers at IRIG are working on a solution to this problem, and their investigations led to four articles in international journals in 2018 and 2019. In particular, the researchers are looking at the risk […] >>

Leti and Liten have combined the performance of silicon and the flexibility of printed electronics to functionalize any planar or curved surface, from window glass and smartphone cases to wristbands and robot fingers. The researchers began work on these advances under a Carnot-funded project. Leti made a test vehicle (a silicon chip thinned to 40 […] >>
