Feriel Mélaine – Ph.D. candidate, Nanobioscience, INAC-SPrAM Editor of student newspaper Chercheurs d’horizons for the 2012–2013 school year Ph.D. students produce their own newspaper   Your student newspaper Chercheurs d’horizons is written entirely by Grenoble University Ph.D. students. Can you tell us more about it? The newspaper was launched in 2010–2011 following a workshop given […] >>

The old 200 mm clean room in the 41.02 Building (near the H3 cafeteria) is getting a €5.3 million makeover. The space will be renovated and expanded to create a new 300 mm clean room spanning 500 m2. Twenty high-tech machines were moved out of the building this summer and the old 200 mm clean […] >>

The many construction projects underway at MINATEC are all advancing according to plan. The second floor of the Skills Center Building is set to be completed by end-2015, and will accommodate over 500 Leti and CNRS researchers. The additional floors being added to the B2I building will be ready in May to house Leti’s bridging […] >>

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 […] >>
