Could the Galileo global navigation satellite system one day be used to control drones? The EU-backed LOGAM project, in which CEA-Leti was a partner, looked at the feasibility of using Galileo, currently under construction, to control things like drones’ pitch and roll. Specifically, the project set out to assess the suitability of an inclinometer accurate […] >>

Researchers from CEA-Leti have made some major advances on the 60 GHz antennas that will be required for tomorrow’s 5G networks and mobile devices. First of all, to reduce costs, the physical interconnects between the antenna, chip, and casing have been replaced with an integrated component. The two parts of the antenna are connected using […] >>

A joint INAC-Liten research team used the Synchrotron’s X-ray microbeam to create a 3D image of a fuel-cell membrane’s nanostructure after 2,500 hours of use. What did they see? Namely, that physical wear on the material varies widely from one area of the membrane to another. The researchers correlated the differences in wear to the […] >>
