Eclore Actuators develops highly energy-efficient, bio-inspired actuators

Traditional pneumatic and hydraulic actuators are used in all sectors of industry, but they have their limits in terms of energy consumption. Eclore Actuators, a start-up incubated at IMT Atlantique, has redesigned the component using a new folding process developed in-house. Tens or even hundreds of pneumatic actuators are used in most manufacturing machines to […]

Digital simulation: applications, from medicine to energy

At Mines Saint-Étienne, Yann Gavet uses image simulation to study the characteristics of an object. This method is more economical in terms of time and cost, and eliminates the need for experimental measurements. This field, at the intersection of mathematics, computer science and algorithms, is used for a variety of applications ranging from the medical […]

5G Will Also Consume Less Energy

5G is often presented as a faster technology, as it will need to support broadband mobile usage as well as communication between connected objects. But it will also have to use less energy in order to find its place within the current context of environmental transition. This is the goal of the ANR Trimaran and […]

What is concentrated solar power ?

Concentrated solar power concentrates the sun’s rays to generate heat and electricity. It differs from photovoltaic solar production and therefore offers a new mode of energy production. Ugo Pelay, research professor at IMT Nord Europe, explains the principles behind this system.
