Agro-based composite materials – a Mines area of expertise

The materials of the future need to be more than just high-performance. They must also be environmentally friendly: more recyclable and based on renewable resources. This is why scientists and industrialists are taking a closer look at composite materials developed from plant fibers. They represent a major research focus for Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT) schools — […]

Recycling concrete and sediment to create new materials

How can we meet the needs for construction materials in an environmentally responsible manner? Recycling could be the solution, but it is not yet easy to create high-performance and eco-friendly materials using waste. At the conference on Natural Resources and Environment, which took place on November 5-6 2014 at Institut Mines-Télécom, Vincent Thiéry, a researcher […]

5G connecting constellations

A space-based solution to connect remote regions is soon to become reality. But using low-orbiting satellites as telecommunications relay stations means certain functionalities of current terrestrial solutions have to be reinvented. Their constant movement is the reason. For the BPI 5G NTN mmWave project, Télécom Paris scientists are tackling this technical challenge, by developing new algorithms and performance models in order to assess the limitations of the system and then optimize it.

PERSEUS makes a breakthrough for cell-free networks

Despite all the promises of 5G, current networks are struggling to ensure seamless connectivity in dense or complex environments. To tackle this problem, the PERSEUS project is developing solutions for cell-free networks in which distributed antenna work together to provide a more fluid service. Based on technologies such as distributed MIMO and new-generation waveforms, the IMT Atlantique research teams involved in the project are trying to solve the technical challenges posed by this new approach.

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.

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.

Torrential rain: polluting a long, calm river

Intense rainfall events linked to climate change generate dynamic runoff which, through erosion, removes materials from the soil, including contaminants. At IMT Nord Europe, research teams are carrying out complementary measurement and modeling work to understand how this displaced matter enters the water cycle, and how to better manage territories.
