You’ve probably heard of people being equipped with sensors, like athletes who want to study their body movements or the elderly who receive remote care. But figuring out how the electromagnetic waves propagate isn’t easy, since the human body itself is an obstacle that can interfere with waves’ behavior. This is a major challenge in […] >>

It may soon be possible to view cells, bacteria, and viruses without a lens by using a simple webcam CMOS image sensor and LED lights. While this may sound like something concocted by a mad scientist, it is in fact a practical idea that Leti and UCLA researchers have been working on for the past […] >>

Rohde & Schwarz, a German manufacturer of radiofrequency (RF) test equipment, has teamed up with Leti to develop technology to improve its systems. The goal is to find a way to characterize the RF blocks (like amplifiers, oscillators, and frequency mixers) used in tablets and smartphones under real-world conditions. Existing characterization tools take into account […] >>

Grenoble-based engineers from CEA-List have more than doubled the speed of a matrix multiplication program using a new dynamic compilation method. This method, designed specifically for multi-core processors, works by optimizing the execution of the most calculation-intensive sections of code. It offers an attractive alternative to static compilation, which optimizes the overall code using conservative […] >>

For the third year in a row, Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma students will take part in iGEM, the global synthetic biology competition held by MIT. The Grenoble team will consist of ten university students: four from Phelma; three from UJF; two from Mines de Saint-Étienne; and one student from the US (Louisiana) doing an internship […] >>
