A second-year PhD student from IMEP-LAHC is currently performing a six-month research assignment under Dr. Zhong Lin Wang at Georgia Tech in the United States. Dr. Wang is a pioneer in the application of nanowires’ piezoelectric proprieties, and is working to use nanowires developed in Grenoble in systems for harvesting mechanical energy. The project with […] >>

Painful vaccinations will become a thing of the past thanks to a clever new invention from Swiss medical device maker Debiotech. The company is working with Leti to develop a process for making silicon micro-needles that are only 700 microns long, preventing the needle from reaching the nerves in the dermis while boosting injection efficacy; […] >>

Leti and III-V Lab have marked a major step forward in silicon photonics by combining onto a single chip a hybrid laser (III-V materials and silicon) with 9-nm wavelength tunability and a silicon modulator. Conventionally, the laser sources for photonic components are fabricated separately and transferred onto the substrate, which complicates the process and results […] >>

Scientists at the Grenoble Astrophysics Institute recently made a major advancement in telescope technology by replacing conventional mirror-and-lens systems with Leti’s integrated optical chip. The pioneering system they installed in the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) in Chile uses an unprecedented four telescopes simultaneously, with any number of possible combinations. Moreover, the first images were […] >>

MINATEC recently introduced a new turnkey laboratory service—the only one of its kind in the world—inspired by the CIME Nanotech joint lab between Grenoble Institute of Technology and Joseph Fourier University. This service, called Nanolab, is intended for governments wishing to spur technological innovation in their countries. Experts from the French Atomic and Alternative Energy […] >>
