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.

Millions of tonnes of waste are produced every year by the construction industry in France. The Cirval industrial chair is therefore devoted to reducing the impact of the sector. The Fondation Mines-Télécom, IMT Nord Europe and a dozen SMEs work together as part of Cirval, developing concrete solutions to recycle, reuse and save resources. At the same time, Cirval works with institutions to adapt standards and facilitate the circular economy in the construction industry.

Channel coding is the focus of Elsa Dupraz’s research, a key process for improving information transmission in telecommunications. While the technique’s effectiveness in this field is well known, the researcher is also exploring novel applications, such as data compression and DNA storage. Her research, at the intersection between several disciplines, has fostered multiple collaborations and earned her the 2024 IMT-Academy of Science Young Scientist Prize.
