Field tests with live fire in a controlled environment were conducted on August 1. Two firefighters wore Safefire prototypes beneath their standard gear during these tests. The aim was to simulate body movements in real-life scenarios of equipment handling and firefighting. The tests were carried out at CEIF, located at the Lousã Aerodrome. #technology #safefire #prototype #biomedicalsensors #innovation #health #firefigthers #wearables #organic_electronics #electrocardiogram

Another Internship comes to an end! INESC MN hosted an incredible week-long internship focused on the fascinating world of nanotechnology. Each morning, our dedicated interns dived deep into the nanoscale, engaging in both theoretical and practical learning experiences. This internship was part of the 'Ciência Viva no Laboratório 2024' 28th edition summer internships program and took place from July 15th to 19th. #CiênciaViva #intership #CiênciaVivanoLaboratorio #cleanroom

On the 9th of July, Instituto Superior Técnico launched #ISTsat1, the first CubeSat developed by a university team in Portugal. The #cleanroom at INESC Microssistemas e Nanotecnologias was chosen for the assembly of this small satellite. In this controlled environment, various tests were conducted to validate its functionality, including the testing of photovoltaic cells, which are essential for ensuring energy collection during its mission. ISTsat-1 was launched on the Ariane 6, which has been in development for almost a decade and aims to put Europe on the map for launching satellites and giving Europe access to space. #esa #Ariane6 #Europe #space #satellites #cleanroom #cubesat #wearetécnico

INESC MN proudly supports "Física sobre Rodas" (Physics on Wheels), a national initiative developed by students from NFIST. This traveling physics exhibition journeys across different regions of Portugal, aiming to promote and disseminate scientific knowledge to audiences of all ages. This year's tour began on July 10 and will wrap up on July 20. The exhibition will visit the following cities: Castelo Branco, Guarda, Fundão, Tábua, Tortosendo, Penamacor, Proença-a-Nova, and Tomar. 🚙 We look forward to seeing you there! #science #physics #WeareTécnico
