By developing natural fragrances such as kairomones and allomones, it is able to influence the behavior of insect pests to protect crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crystal Energy, co-founded by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Sauvage, won both second prize in the startups category and a special energy award. Its transparent photovoltaic glazing technology is based on the principles of photosynthesis, and offers an environmentally-friendly alternative, free from critical and toxic materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Students and bio-inspired research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition also highlighted student creativity. The SupBiotech school's Spiky'Mune project won for its cholera vaccine, while the Ant'ibitique project stood out for its innovative research on the antimicrobial secretions of the \u00abMegaponera analis\u00bb ant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research projects, such as Antcar, also attracted attention for their technological applications inspired by insect behavior. \u00abAntcar\u00bb, developed by Gabriel Gattaux and his team, aims to create ultra-efficient autonomous robots in terms of memory and energy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La neuvi\u00e8me \u00e9dition des Biomim\u2019expo Awards, qui s\u2019est tenue \u00e0 Marseille, a mis en lumi\u00e8re des innovations bio-inspir\u00e9es r\u00e9volutionnant des secteurs vari\u00e9s.
