Bienvenue sur l'Institut Polytechnique de Paris

From environmental sensors to medical implants, an increasing number of embedded systems can harvest energy from their surroundings, for example through solar power. But this autonomy comes with a challenge: these devices need to complete their tasks within a given timeframe while avoiding consuming more energy than they have available. In their latest study, published in the Journal of Systems Architecture, Ruizhe QIU (PhD at IDIA, Télécom Paris...

How do you turn a lake into a scientific testing site? If you've been walking around the lake on the Ecole polytechnique campus recently, you've probably noticed that construction work is underway. If you're wondering what's happening there, you've come to the right place. The Energy4Climate Interdisciplinary Center (E4C) at Institut Polytechnique de Paris is currently deploying its future scientific demonstrator: XSeaO₂. Why install a demonstrator on...
