Summary
For the first edition of the Cinémascience festival in Bordeaux a laboratory in Aquitaine is in the spotlight with Claude Delmas, as the director of the Institut de chimie de la matière condensée de Bordeaux (Bordeaux institute for condensed matter chemistry - ICMCB) presenting its activities.
The ICMCB studies the properties of solid materials. Issues related to energy and the environment constitute one of its research lines. Jean-Claude Grenier works on fuel cells. Unlike conventional batteries, they run on a fuel that is "burned" by an electrochemical reaction. The cell will run as long as the fuel is available and the heat produced by the cell can be recovered. In the future, this system could be implemented in homes and may even fly planes...
