Hanna Pazniak, an expert in MXenes, joined the LMGP nanomaterials and advanced heterostructures team in early 2022.MXenes, made by exfoliating precursors (MAX phases), are two-dimensional compounds that, depending on their composition, offer a variety of properties, from large specific surface to excellent electrical conductivity and elasticity. They can also be used to make functionalized and […] >>

CEA-Leti offers eco-innovation studies to some of its R&D partners. Why? Léa Di Cioccio:Environmental regulations–both in France and across Europe–are one of the factors driving demand for this kind of study among our R&D partners.SMEs have expressed a real need for support.Fabless manufacturers are seeking insights that will help them work more effectively with semiconductor […] >>

Primo1D, a CEA-Leti spinoff founded in 2013, develops and manufactures RFID-enabled thread that, once integrated into textiles, cables, or other manufactured products, is both durable and invisible. The solution can be used to identify, authenticate, and track products throughout their lifecycle.After seven years at MINATEC, Primo1D moved to its own facility nearby to begin manufacturing.SPI […] >>

A cohort of 28 third-year students at Grenoble INP, UGA engineering schools—including three from Grenoble INP – Phelma, UGA—recently completed the first semester of a course called Piste to promote technologically-frugal and environmentally-responsible engineering*.We will have to rethink our production systems to effectively address today’s social and environmental challenges. This course does just that!Students take […] >>
