Artificial photosynthesis systems present a major shortcoming: Their photosensitizer delivers electrons one by one while the catalyst uses them two by two. A team of researchers from Grenoble and Germany* recently found a solution to this problem. They developed a ruthenium-based photosensitizer that stores two electrons and two protons reversibly, similar to the plastoquinones in […] >>

A powerful new remote monitoring system could track heart failure patients’ blood levels right from their homes. Startup CardioRenal has been working with Leti since 2015 to develop just such a system. This summer, the partners ramped up their collaboration by creating a joint lab to make improvements to a lab-on-chip leveraging microfluidics and optical […] >>

LMGP is coordinating the EU Sprint project, which kicked off in September. The project involves a consortium of six academic research labs. And the project is an ambitious one. The objective is to develop a thin-layer deposition process for amorphous or crystalline materials that works at ambient temperature and pressure and that is compatible with […] >>

Leti will unveil the initial results of the EU Redfinch project, which it is coordinating, at Photonics West in San Francisco in early February. The project is developing a new generation of optical sensors to detect chemicals in gases and liquids. The mid-infrared sensors operate at wavelengths between 2 microns and 20 microns and are […] >>

Cold can reversibly modify neural dynamics, including those involved in epileptic seizures. The challenge is how to produce cold deep in the brain and let the heat generated by the production of cold escape. Clinatec is investigating the issue under the Epicool project (part of the Carnot Exploratoire program). The future implantable device will measure […] >>
