The i-PhD competition aims to attract doctoral students and young PhDs to the creation of start-ups, and to support the best research work.

Congratulations to Nicolas! Winner in the Materials, Mechanics and Industrial Processes theme with the Lumensium project, led by Laurent Douce, one of 177 winning projects.

This project involves the development of a new crystalline material capable of detecting and discriminating between Neutron and Gamma-type ionizing radiation, whatever its energy. In addition to being more efficient than its competitors, this new material offers an alternative to current detectors based on the use of lithium-6 and helium-3, two atomic isotopes whose supply is difficult and controlled due to their scarcity. This material is also much more environmentally friendly: it is non-toxic, non-flammable, can be recycled and its synthesis follows the principles of green chemistry
