What happens when you take a water electrolysis cell, add some nickel-encapsulated iron carbide nanoparticles, and apply an alternative high-frequency magnetic field to the whole thing? The catalytic activity inside the unit is several times what you usually get! Researchers at LEPMI and INSA Toulouse recently completed proof-of-concept testing of the phenomenon. They hope that […] >>

In research conducted under the Catrène-Innovation-Award-winning Mobitrust project, which wrapped up in 2017, Leti automated connected device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) security testing. The automated process enables faster, broader testing and all tests can be carried out in identical conditions.  For the Mobitrust project, the automated testing was used on the TEE* function, which determines the […] >>

MagIA, founded in August 2017 to bring research conducted at G2Elab and LMGP to the market, has just been ranked by Challenges magazine as one of 100 startups to invest in in 2018. The company is developing a portable, ultra-fast immunological test kit. The kit can complete a test—one that would traditionally require drawing blood […] >>

The world’s leading foundries—including Samsung, TSMC, and GlobalFoundries—announced early this year that they would be starting volume manufacturing of MRAM memory, marking a major milestone. Among MRAM’s many benefits: It costs less to manufacture than embedded flash memory, is extremely energy efficient, and offers high communication speeds and a virtually-infinite number of cycles. Spintec’s research […] >>

Leti has been developing FD-SOI, a material that substantially reduces circuit energy consumption, for years. In 2014 the institute signed a partnership with GlobalFoundries, the world’s number-two foundry, to scale the technology up for mass fabrication. This year the partnership reached an important milestone: GlobalFoundries is starting mass fabrication of FD-SOI circuits for the IoT […] >>
