Three potential new pathways to augmented reality glasses
- Innovation & Society
- News
- Research
So far, augmented reality glasses have failed to live up to their promises: They are bulky, their field of view is limited, and they are not bright enough to be used outdoors. Leti is working to overcome these limitations through three targeted R&D projects. First, the institute is developing a 853 x 500 pixel, three-micron-pitch […] >>

Changing the magnetic chirality of skyrmions
- News
- Research
The skyrmion—a magnetic quasiparticle measuring just a few nanometers—continues to garner great interest in the world of spintronics. Researchers from Spintec, Institut Néel, and LSPM* recently demonstrated that the interaction that sets skyrmion chirality (or spin direction) is modulated in a linear manner by lattice tension. If the tensions studied are extrapolated further, it appears […] >>

The 3D-Onochip* project (run by two industrial companies and two Grenoble Institute of Technology labs** and backed by the French Single Interministerial Fund) recently reached an important milestone. Microlight3D, one of the industrial companies involved in the project, successfully printed 900 x 900 x 300 µm cytoskeletons in 96-well plates with excellent process reproducibility. LMGP […] >>

Neural networks: Keeping catastrophic forgetting at bay
- News
- Research
To effectively respond to situations they have never learned before, tomorrow’s neural networks will have to keep a phenomenon known as “catastrophic forgetting” at bay. Catastrophic forgetting occurs when a new set of data “overwrites” previous data instead of adding to it. Researchers from Leti, List, and LPNC* recently developed a novel solution to link […] >>

Progress toward high-performance UV LEDs
- News
- Research
Doping the materials that make up the barrier around a UV LED’s active region is challenging, which makes it difficult to improve the yields and lifespans of UV LEDs at the 265 nm wavelength. Researchers from INAC and Institut Néel are tackling the subject, and their work under a French National Research Agency-funded project recently […] >>
