IRDS™ (International Roadmap for Devices and Systems) has focused primarily on computing technologies—until now. The framework was recently broadened to include More than Moore micro and nanotechnologies, from smart sensors and power systems to energy harvesting and flexible and printable components. The EU H2020 Nereid project, led by Grenoble Institute of Technology, had resulted in […] >>

Clinatec has been trying to effectively determine the best location in the brain for its WIMAGINE® implant, which measures the brain activity of tetraplegic patients. The data is used to control an exoskeleton, restoring these patients’ mobility and independence. Where to implant the device is a key challenge for Clinatec. Researchers at the center have […] >>

In an avalanche, every minute counts. The longer a victim is buried under the snow, the less chance they have of surviving. CEA-Leti researchers equipped a drone with a network of antennas run by a radio-frequency circuit to help speed up search and rescue operations. The system utilizes algorithms to estimate which directions Bluetooth and […] >>

Leti and IAB* started work on a Covid-19 vaccine. Their strategy is to attach SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNA to Lipidots®, the oil microdroplets designed at Leti. Lipidots® are the same size as the virus and have a strong affinity for the dendritic cells that trigger an immune response. And, because Lipidots® are very stable, they should […] >>

The Flash Arise project, funded by France’s national research agency (ANR), was set up to develop a solution for detecting SARS-Cov-2 droplets or aerosol in the air within a maximum of 30 minutes. Leti and the Institut Pasteur are engaged in the project, which kicked off in March. The partners’ hope to be able to […] >>
