Stéphane Avril, the mechanics of human tissue

/in ,

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.

BAYFLEX: green electronics for health

/in , , ,

The European BAYFLEX project aims to develop flexible, intelligent sensors capable of continuously collecting and processing biological signals before their on-chip classification. This ambitious project adds value by using “green” organic technologies, which require less energy to manufacture and use.

Green4Cloud: greener, local cloud services

/in , , ,

The start-up Green4Cloud, incubated at IMT Mines Alès and present at VivaTech 2023, is addressing the challenge of making the cloud more environmentally-friendly. To do so, the company plans to install over one hundred local data centers, while optimizing their energy consumption. The environmental footprint of digital technology across its entire value chain is a […]

Destination moon with additive manufacturing using lunar dust

/in ,

3D printing objects using lunar material is no longer science fiction. To facilitate the establishment of a base on the Moon, researchers at IMT Mines Albi are seriously examining this possibility. In the Institut Clément Ader (ICA) laboratories, they are striving to implement an additive manufacturing process using a terrestrial rock with similar properties to lunar dust. Their aim is to improve the autonomy of the Moon’s first inhabitants.

Images of science: where do basalt columns come from?

/in , ,

Bernard Guy, Mines Saint-Étienne – Institut Mines-Télécom This photo shows basalt columns. They can be found all over the world where magma flows from volcanoes have cooled and solidified. These spectacular and fascinating structures have been, and still are, the subject of much study, from characterization on site and in the laboratory to physicochemical and […]

Decadom: solutions for monitoring manufacturing defects

/in ,

IMT Mines Albi and its corporate partner Diota launched the “Inspection 4.0” joint laboratory in 2016 to detect and analyze part manufacturing defects. In 2020, the Decadom project was launched. This initiative has developed inspection solutions based on the use of a scanner hand-held by an operator or mounted on a robot to investigate defects […]

Stronger 3D prints

/in ,

3D printing is a manufacturing process used for both consumer and industrial applications in the aeronautics, automotive, rail and medical industries. The Shoryuken project being developed at IMT Nord Europe aims to improve the mechanical performance of the objects printed using plastic and composite materials. To accomplish this, it combines 3D printing with laser welding […]

Plastic waste: transforming a problem into energy

/in ,

The linear life cycle of plastics, too rarely recycled, exerts a heightened pressure on the environment. The process of gasification makes it possible to reduce this impact by transforming more waste – currently incinerated or left in landfill – into useful resources like hydrogen or biomethane. Javier Escudero, process engineering researcher at IMT Mines Albi, […]
