Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma engineering school is still near the top of the L’Étudiant magazine engineering school ranking, coming in 5th out of 168 schools for academic excellence. And the school moved from 31st to 7th place from 2016 to 2017 for its international programs! The huge improvement can be attributed to stronger, more active […] >>

A new white paper on atomic layer deposition is available free of charge on the website of French publisher Techniques de l’ingénieur. The 225-page white paper, in French, is titled Principes et applications de la technique ALD and provides an overview of the basics of the process. It was authored by around 20 scientists in […] >>

Students entering their second year at Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma and Ensimag schools in the fall of 2017 will have a new program available: Embedded Systems and Connected Objects (SEOC). The two schools merged their common Internet and Connected Systems and Services and Embedded Software and Systems programs to form this original new offering! […] >>

INAC and Leti recently achieved a world-first, successfully demonstrating that a quantum bit, or qubit, made using 300 mm CMOS FDSOI, works! The qubit—the basic building block for quantum computing—was measured at 10 mK. This groundbreaking lab experiment proved that, despite the fact that the lab qubit’s geometry is not compatible with the scales required […] >>

The human brain’s synapses—which send signals between neurons—can strengthen or weaken due to increases or decreases in activity. In the future, it may be possible to reproduce synaptic plasticity with RRAM memory run by specific coding schemes. A team of researchers from Leti, List, Clinatec, and INSERM investigated the topic, presenting a paper at IEDM […] >>
