The DAMP (Device for Analysis of Moisture Profiles) probe invented by IMEP-LAHC entered a new phase in its development this summer. After a six-month project to bring the technology to maturity, tech transfer specialist Linksium is now actively seeking a partner to manufacture and commercialize the product under license. DAMP addresses two markets: agricultural soil […] >>

In July a 300 sq. m mural on the Avenue des Martyrs side of the CEA’s 10.03 building was unveiled. The mural illustrates themes like science, innovation, athletics, disability, diversity, and movement. It also heralds in the 2021 Summer Games, a sporting event for research organizations across Europe. CEA Grenoble will co-host the Games with […] >>

The cryogenic system that cools the superconducting magnets on the Japanese Tokamak JT-60SA reactor has a refrigeration capacity of about 9 kW equivalent at 4.5 K, and the reactor’s cyclical operation creates substantial variations in the heat loads the system must handle. From 2010 to 2016, when the CEA was designing the cryogenics for the […] >>

With no end to social distancing in sight, Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma is taking 2020 Partners Day online. The October 15 event will provide an opportunity for the school’s 650 students (third-year undergrad and Master’s) and recent graduates to participate in a day of online job dating. The goal is to match candidates with businesses […] >>

The tiny magnetic bubbles known as skyrmions—potential candidates for tomorrow’s memory bits—can now be stabilized at ambient temperature without a magnetic field. Researchers at Spintec just demonstrated this new capability using an exchange coupler already used in MRAM. Specifically, an anti-ferromagnetic layer is combined with the ultra-thin ferromagnetic layer that holds the skyrmions.The size of […] >>
