Une ERC Starting Grant décrochée par un chercheur de l’IEMN !

The project, named UPTEG "Unconventional Principles of ThermoElectric Generation", proposes to test two radical ideas capable of transforming silicon into a thermoelectric material! The conversion of thermal energy into electrical current by the Seebeck effect is not a very efficient process, especially when the available temperature gradient is moderate. What's more, the materials [...]

An IEMN researcher is awarded an ERC Starting Grant !

The project, named UPTEG "Unconventional Principles of ThermoElectric Generation", proposes to test two unorthodox ideas to turn silicon into a thermoelectric material! Indeed, thermal to electric energy conversion via Seebeck effect remains an inefficient process especially for low temperature gradients. In addition, conventional thermoelectric materials are polluting, rare and hardly compatible with microelectronics mainstream technologies... [...]

Visite du Pr. François BOONE de l’Université de Sherbrooke au Canada

This invitation is part of an international research and training partnership between the Universities of Science and Technology of Lille 1 and Sherbrooke in Canada. The laboratories involved are the Centre de Recherches en Nanofabrication et en Nanocaractérisation (CRN2) at the University of Sherbrooke (Canada) and [...].

IEMN involved in the Graphène project, winner of the European "FET Flagship" programme

Selected by the European Commission as one of the flagship projects, on an unprecedented scale, on the technologies of the future and emerging technologies, the Graphène project, funded to the tune of €1 billion over 10 years, involves 15 French laboratories, including the IEMN. The aim of the Graphene project is to develop applications for a material made of a sheet of [...]

Kick-off Meeting RTB Network

A network, available to all those who need to make micro or nano objects invites you to an information and exchange day to find out about the possibilities of access to the technological resources of the basic technological research network (RTB), on Friday 29 March 2013, from 10am to 4pm at the Laboratoire Central [...]

Nanothermodynamics

Article published in nanotechweb on 7 December 2012 Researchers in Belgium and France have determined a new value for the surface energy of solid selenium and have found it to be considerably higher than previously thought. Selenium is a key element in nanotechnology and the new result will be important for a variety of applications [...]
