The EU Activage project, coordinated by IRT Nanoelec and the Isère General Council in France, has now entered the testing phase. Between now and April of 2020, 150 senior citizens in Isère will engage in a year-long test of digital solutions developed to meet their needs. The solutions, designed to boost comfort and safety at […] >>

Leti will exhibit at the CEA Tech Village booth at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January, unveiling two of the institute’s latest innovations: Pixcurve and Sigma Cells. Pixcurve is a bio-inspired technology that enables curved optical components capable of reducing lens sizes by up to 60% while minimizing the optical aberrations […] >>

Leti will unveil the initial results of the EU Redfinch project, which it is coordinating, at Photonics West in San Francisco in early February. The project is developing a new generation of optical sensors to detect chemicals in gases and liquids. The mid-infrared sensors operate at wavelengths between 2 microns and 20 microns and are […] >>

Cold can reversibly modify neural dynamics, including those involved in epileptic seizures. The challenge is how to produce cold deep in the brain and let the heat generated by the production of cold escape. Clinatec is investigating the issue under the Epicool project (part of the Carnot Exploratoire program). The future implantable device will measure […] >>

Since May, Leti has been coordinating the development of microfluidics standards at the EU (CEN) and international (ISO) levels. The lack of standards is a challenge to the continued development and growth of labs-on-chip for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food manufacturing. The standards-development efforts will align what startups, manufacturers, and academic research labs working in […] >>
