Long space missions present such a high risk of bacterial infection that astronauts spend 10% of their time cleaning! One of the objectives of the ISS Proxima mission (in which ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is participating) is to study five advanced antibacterial materials on board. Because the bacteria cannot adhere to the materials, they simply […] >>

Recent advances in research being conducted by Leti and INAC scientists under CEA project A3DN could help overcome one of the major technological hurdles facing microelectronics R&D. So, what does DNA have to do with microelectronics? DNA strings measure around a nanometer—as do the pattern geometries the researchers are working on. And DNA’s base-pairing capacities […] >>

The Micro and Nanotechnology Observatory (OMNT) now publishes its reports and comments from the observatory’s network of experts online. The content available includes regular news updates, one-page executive summaries of current issues, and in-depth reports. All publications are available by email or can be downloaded online. An annual overview is also available as a download. […] >>

What is Leti’s strategy for CES 2017? Our booth will be twice as big as last year’s. We will showcase three interactive demonstrator systems that will let visitors experience and test our technologies and understand the technologies’ features. Three startups will be coming with us: e-Lichens, with us in 2016; Moovlab, which was just created; […] >>

Alps Design Lab, a CEA Tech Open Lab, has tackled the challenge of how to use a shipping-container-sized electrolyzer to create a “normal-sized” teaching demonstrator. In a few weeks, the lab will deliver to Liten a refrigerator-sized system that packs in a high-temperature furnace, heat exchanger, and steam generator—qualities sure to appeal to future users! […] >>
