Researchers at INAC developed micromanipulators to form an array of submicrometric tweezers that can be remote-controlled simultaneously. The researchers took advantage of standard microelectronics-industry processes to make millions of nanotweezers—each composed of two magnetic particles fabricated layer by layer using lithography and attached with a gold nanohinge—at the same time. The tweezers open when a […] >>

The 5G Champion project, in which Leti is participating alongside the Korean Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), will develop a 5G network prototype for the 28 GHz frequency band that will be rolled out during the Pyeongchang Olympics in February 2018, two years before the official launch of 5G. The proof-of-concept prototype will combine […] >>

The Isère General Council, already a partner of the Ideas Laboratory®, recently signed a new partnership, this time with the Experimenta expo, which will now be held once every two years. The next edition will take place in February 2018 at MINATEC, with activities spread out at sites across the Greater Grenoble area. Ideas Laboratory® […] >>

Residents of Grenoble’s Presqu’île district will get a chance to tour Clinatec on July 3 and GreEn-ER (run by Grenoble Institute of Technology) on July 4. Visitors will be greeted by Heiko Buchholz, a performing artist from the “Un euro ne fait pas le printemps” theater troupe on special assignment for the Ministry of Happiness, […] >>

The new Micro- and Nanotechnology Observatory website went live in late 2016 and has been regularly updated with new publications ever since. Users can log on to their free account (for all CNRS, CEA, and affiliate staff) to access the most recent content, which includes more than ten presentation videos from the Memory for IoT […] >>
