The virtualization of optical networks to support… 5G

Mobile networks are not entirely wireless. They also rely on a network of optical fibers, which connect antennas to the core network, among other things. With the arrival of 5G, optical networks must be able to keep up with the ramping up of the rest of the mobile network to ensure the promised quality of […]

iXblue: Extreme Fiber Optics

Since 2006, iXblue, a French company based in Lannion, and the Hubert Curien laboratory [1] in Saint-Étienne have partnered to develop cutting-edge fiber optics. This long partnership has established iXblue as a global reference in the use of fiber optics in harsh environments. The scientific and technological advances have enabled the company to offer solutions […]

Optics as a key to understanding rogue waves

Rogue waves are powerful waves that erupt suddenly. They are rare, but destructive. Above all, they are unpredictable. Surprisingly, researchers have been able to better understand these fascinating waves by studying similar phenomena in fiber optic lasers.   Before scientists began measuring and observing them, rogue waves had long been perceived as legends. They can […]

Dam-break phenomenon in optical fibers

Last May, for the first time, researchers from the University of Lille and IMT Lille-Douai exposed a photon dam breaking in an optical fiber. These results provided the experimental confirmation for an old theory that dates back over 50 years. Above all, this research reveals a surprising analogy with a water dam break, creating the […]

Stéphane Avril: When biomedical research crosses paths with entrepreneurship

Stéphane Avril, Biomechanics professor at Mines Saint-Etienne, is exploring the route of entrepreneurship to take his research work to the next level. In co-founding PrediSurge in 2017 and then KaomX in 2024, he has been creating start-ups to take innovations from the laboratory into the economic sphere. Between technology, filing patents and improving technology readiness, let’s take a look back over his achievements as a researcher-entrepreneur.

The invisible electronic chip that restores the sense of touch

It could soon be possible to restore tactile sensations for people fitted with prosthetics thanks to the Flexeo project. This research program, led by Mines Saint-Etienne, has entered the second phase after four years of development. Under the supervision of Sylvain Blayac, the team has designed a flexible electronic chip that can detect and reproduce tactile sensations.

Fabulous laser microstructures

IMT Atlantique has developed expertise in parallel photoplotting over many years. The school has therefore taken a leading role in the European FABulous project that will use this method to design functional 3D micro and nano-structures. These high-performance optical and photonic microstructures have applications ranging from the automotive industry to biological cell culture.

Stéphane Avril, the mechanics of human tissue

Stéphane Avril is a mechanical engineer, but his research focuses on the elasticity and resistance of arteries, and how this changes with disease or old age. This researcher from Mines Saint-Étienne is passionate about biology and has received a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) grant for the third time. This funding will support his next ambitious project: reversing the effects of aging on arteries by controlling mechanical wear. It represents a new phase in a journey at the interface between two disciplines.
