Researchers from the French Nanoscience and Cryogenics Institute (INAC) and Spintec have developed a new logic circuit that combines CMOS and MRAM technology. This patented invention uses MRAM from Crocus Technology and marks Europe’s first working demonstrator of its kind. MRAM offers two key benefits: it’s non-volatile and it doesn’t need a power supply when […] >>

Until now, electronic tongues—devices used to identify dissolved substances in liquids—have been hard to make because each of the tongues’ chemical receptors (between 10 and 30) had to be synthesized independently. But scientists at the French Nanoscience and Cryogenics Institute (INAC) have found a way to sidestep this lengthy process by using the combined response […] >>

Until now patients wondering whether they have tuberculosis had to wait a full 72 hours before finding out the results of a skin test. A new optical read system developed by Leti under a Lyon-Biopôle project funded by the French government has reduced the waiting time to 18 hours—and waiting time could even be slashed […] >>

Detecting electric arcs in the high-power batteries used in electric vehicles (300 V−400 V, 50 kW−80 kW) is a real challenge, since current and voltage fluctuations tend to interfere with the fleeting signals. However, a team of researchers from Leti, Liten, and GIPSA-Lab may have found the solution in a patented acoustic detection method that […] >>

Leti researchers are getting ready to transfer to industry a new wireless communication system that combines ultra-wideband and RFID technology. The new system can transfer data between a mobile phone and a RFID tag at an impressive rate of 100 Mb/s, while using just a few mW of power. Data are stored locally, so users […] >>
