The 2018-2019 school year was a success for the Nano@school educational outreach program, which brought 800 high-school students, including 80 international students (from Turkey, Luxembourg, and Italy), to CIME Nanotech. The low-tech workshop introduced last year was a big hit. Students use parts from everyday electronics like DVD players, for example, to learn the fundamentals […] >>

Students majoring in Electrochemistry and Processes for Energy and the Environment at Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma engineering school are experiencing new do-it-yourself (DIY) labs this year. They are working with three pilot systems (distillation, convection, and conduction) equipped with a wide range of instruments—all hooked up to simulation software. Students must choose their own […] >>

Once again this year, a group of students from Grenoble (including four from Phelma) will go to Boston in November to compete in the MIT iGEM international genetically-engineered machine competition. This year’s team is currently putting the finishing touches on NeuroDrop, a system that uses a genetically-modified bacteria to detect a protein called alpha-synuclein, which […] >>

The much-awaited Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU or “Shanghai Ranking”) of the world’s top 1,000 universities came out in June. Grenoble Institute of Technology stayed in the top 50 in three fields: electrical and electronics engineering, remote detection, and metallurgical engineering. Phelma is the only Grenoble Institute of Technology school to offer programs in […] >>

Joan Rodriguez is in his second year at Phelma and the CSUG, the Grenoble University Space Center. During the 2018-2019 academic year he had an opportunity to work on the development of AMICal SaT, the first-ever nanosatellite developed in Grenoble. Specifically, Joan contributed to the electronics and image processing systems for the satellite, which will […] >>
