Quantum error-correcting codes were developed by mathematicians to check the variability of the state of each qubit. But are the codes relevant in practical terms? A physicist at IRIG investigated the issue and his conclusions are not optimistic. He noted that the theories use error models that fail to factor in errors that are rare, […] >>

Researchers from LMGP and Leti tested OLEDs developed by Leti for microdisplays for toxicity to determine whether the OLEDs could be used in biological environments. The researchers monitored the growth of two cultures (one cellular and one bacterial) in which an OLED had been placed and compared growth to control cultures. They found that the […] >>

Researchers from Leti successfully integrated a high-performance chemical sensor on silicon. The system’s quantum cascade lasers, photoacoustic cell, and photonic circuit take up less than 1 cm3; the conventional system originally took up around a liter. The lasers produce light in the mid-infrared spectrum, which means that they can detect a broad range of gases. […] >>

Researchers from Leti, CEA Sciences, and INSERM injected Lipidots® (lipid-based nanoparticles) containing the p24 protein of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) into an animal model and obtained a robust and complete immune response. Lipidots® were created by Leti and CNRS in 2006 to encapsulate and deliver drugs or fluorescent chemical compounds to “target” cells. The […] >>

The first phase of remote healthcare project e-Meuse, carried out in late 2018, was a success for startup Avalun’s LabPad INR pocket lab. The device helped save caregivers time, increase patient comfort, and shorten response times in the event of an abnormal test result. The device, which can perform a coagulation test from a single […] >>
