Developing an embedded electronic solution in a matter of weeks rather than years: that’s the challenge taken up by Renardo, a young start-up incubated at IMT Atlantique. Born out of the industrial and educational experience of its two founders, the start-up offers a modular ecosystem combining hardware and software. The aim is to increase responsiveness and democratize electronic innovation, while meeting industry requirements.
Valérie Forest, a professor at Mines Saint-Étienne, was recently recognized as one of the most influential scientists in the world, according to the “Stanford/Elsevier’s Top 2% Scientists” ranking. Originally from Saint-Étienne, she conducts applied research into the biological activity of inhaled particles, while also running the school’s Biomedical Engineering Major. Close up on a researcher who just wanted “to be useful”.
Liquefaction is a key stage in the use of hydrogen as an energy vector. The HyGen project aims to remove the technological obstacles surrounding this process in the context of decarbonized transport. At Mines Saint-Étienne, two researchers are putting their powder expertise into designing the future cryogenic heat exchangers required for storage.
A research team from IMT Atlantique has developed a new method for analyzing the microorganisms in indoor air. Unlike traditional methods, this approach facilitates representative sampling over long durations. This is good news for a concern that often takes a back seat.
Through a series of articles, this I’MTech collection offers various insights to better understand the technical challenges, as well as the issues of optimization and energy efficiency, that accompany the transition from 5G to 6G. Between the explosion of the IoT, the emergence of the metaverse, and the imperative of energy efficiency, we take a look at the future of telecommunications.
In a context of constantly growing needs for data transmission, 5G and 6G networks must comply with increasingly strict technical obligations in terms of flexibility, miniaturization, and energy optimization. Solutions explored by researchers include optimal management of radiation patterns and the development of concrete applications for millimeter wave frequencies. Two projects, YACARI and PIIEC ME/CT, are tackling the technical obstacles to these approaches by combining different antenna technologies.
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.
In emergency situations such as a major car crash, proper coordination between the emergency, medical and transport services is vital. Yet these different operators often use compartmentalized communication services which hinder their performance. The NF-MUST project aims to create a dynamic, shared and flexible network architecture to enable seamless communication. It relies on slicing techniques and virtualized networks to meet the demands of different sectors.
Faced with the expansion of 5G and the challenges of 6G, energy restraint and exposure to electromagnetic fields are becoming major issues for the networks of tomorrow. Between optimizing infrastructures, mobile sensors and prediction models, scientists are striving to reconcile performance, lower consumption and quality of service. Just Enough Network, a project co-led by Télécom Paris, is therefore trying to build networks that are ‘just enough’ to meet our needs, without surplus or wastage.
The countdown has started: by 2035, oil heating systems will be banned across many European countries. But what happens to the tanks left behind? In Austria, a team of young engineers saw this constraint as a resource. Their start-up incubated in TU Wien, Joulzen, wants to turn these dormant giants into heat storage systems—and maybe even into players in the European energy grid.
