On January 13, 2015 Institut Carnot Energies du futur will present the joint research projects in the field of new energy technologies it supported in 2013–2014. Once again this year Institut Carnot Energies du futur is one of the leading Carnot institutes in terms of technology transfer. It boasts an annual consolidated operating budget of […] >>

Artist and engineer Thomas Pachoud unveiled his first-ever work using the Hyperlight system—the focus of Pachoud’s artistic residency at the Atelier Arts-Sciences—at the Experimenta fair held at Maison MINATEC, to music created by composer David Guerra. The 30-year-old Pachoud uses an innovative modular holography system he developed himself to transform light into living performances. He […] >>

The 41.02 building’s cleanroom, which inaugurated a third extension this summer dedicated to 300 mm microelectronics activities, now offers some 2,200 sq. m of research space. The new 500 sq. m space will house new microelectronics fabrication resources such as deposition and thin-layer etching equipment. CEA-Leti, which is managing the procurement process, hopes to begin […] >>

The MOON project, financed by the French National Research Agency (ANR), will reach a major milestone in February, with a second round of testing on the SOLEIL synchrotron near Paris. The researchers, from LMGP and SIMaP*, will use a diffractometer equipped with an instrumented CVD reactor to observe in real time the deposition of ultra-thin […] >>

Researchers at a joint lab uniting CEA-Leti and Microoled are developing color OLED microdisplays that could achieve record luminance of 5,000 candelas per square meter with both form factor and energy consumption well under those of LCD displays. The results of the EU FP7 SCOOP project (2011–2013) provided the cornerstone for this latest advance. Under […] >>
