Pascal Febvre, a researcher at IMEP-LAHC and the University of Savoie, has outlined a superconductivity roadmap for digital SQUIDs, or superconducting quantum interference devices. His roadmap was published in Superconductor Science and Technology and focuses on two applications: detecting solar bursts—which are highly disruptive to space communications—and earthquakes. Pascal’s research team at the University of […] >>

The iGEM 2013 team from Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma—which competed in the synthetic biology category of MIT’s iGEM competition—didn’t make it past the European qualifications in Lyon in October. But the four students didn’t go home empty handed: they won a gold medal for their project as well as the best mathematical model award. The […] >>

LXRepair, an expert in enzyme activity testing and DNA repair, was created on September 26 from a research project at INAC. It was founded by an INAC researcher and a business developer who both have ambitious growth plans: they expect to make their first kits by the end of this year and start hiring staff […] >>

The anechoic chamber in MINATEC’s Integrative Industries Building (B2I) wasn’t designed for electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing—but it turns out to be a perfect fit. Researchers have successfully performed EMI tests in the chamber to analyze and help certify electronic devices made by Grenoble-based start-ups. Because the chamber is shielded against electromagnetic fields and prevents them […] >>

MINATEC TV’s Channel 2, “Live from Our Labs,” already boasts 12 videos—and more are on the way next year. The big star of Season 2 will be interactive interfaces that let users learn more in just a few clicks. The first “clickable” film will be on lens-free imaging, a technology currently being studied by researchers […] >>
