From epertise in telecommunications networks to the performance of electricity grids

From networks to everyday objects, the internet has radically changed our environment. From the main arteries to the smallest vessels, it is embedded in such a large number of the most banal objects that it puts a strain on the energy bill. Yet now communicating objects can exchange information to optimize their electricity consumption. After […]

Unéole on our roofs

We know how to use wind to produce electricity, but large three-bladed turbines do not have their place in urban environments. The start-up Unéole has therefore developed a wind turbine that is suitable for cities, as well as other environments. It also offers a customized assessment of the most efficient energy mix. Clovis Marchetti, a […]

5G: the new generation of mobile is already a reality

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hile 4G is still being rolled out, 5G is already in the starting blocks. For consumers whose smartphones still show “3G” alongside a reception indicator which rarely makes it over two bars out of four, this can be quite perplexing. Is it realistic to assure them that 5G is already a reality, when they can […]

When assembly lines become circular

The recycling market is expanding, even to assembly plants! Using a software ecosystem, the European ALICIA project aims to promote the circulation of production resources. Scientists from IMT Atlantique involved in the project are working to develop a platform to optimize production lines, by minimizing machine changeovers and promoting the use of second-hand resources.

Mental disorders: when data helps save lives

For several years now, a team from IMT Atlantique has been working in cooperation with doctors from Brest University Hospital and a psychologist from Fondation Bon Sauveur in Bégard to improve early detection of mental disorders such as schizophrenia and to reduce suicidal relapses. The success of this approach based on digital tools lies in the robustness of the analysis and decision models the scientists have developed. It is also dependent on the quality of the health data, which must be correctly recorded by hospital staff.

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.
