Network of Excellence coordinator Francis Balestra (IMEP-LAHC) edited Beyond CMOS Nanodevices 2, which was recently published by Wiley. The multi-author book, a follow-up to the EU Nanofunction project on beyond-CMOS nanosystems, provides a comprehensive review of the state of the art and the flagship applications expected to emerge over the next decade. The first volume […] >>

Tronics recently presented a revolutionary MEMS concept invented by Leti. The new MEMS packs in an impressive three accelerometers and three gyrometers on just 4 mm2 of silicon. The ultra-compact system will target the mobile phone market where it will enhance features like gaming and switching mobile phone cameras from portrait to landscape mode. There […] >>

This year, the GIANT International Internship Program will take over where the former MINATEC Summer Program, founded in 2011, left off. A total of 20 students, mostly from the University of Pennsylvania, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Louisiana State University, but also from the University of Tsukuba, Chiba University, and Keio University in Japan, […] >>

The MINATEC Nanolab consortium was selected by the Ecole Polytechnique Nationale de Constantine (Algeria) to provide technical support for the school’s 500 sq. m, $6 to $7 million nanotechnology center. The consortium, made up of CIME Nanotech, 40-30, and the CEA, will consult on the project development stage, draw up the project specifications, select suppliers […] >>

On May 5, 6, and 7 Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma engineering school will hold an electrochemistry course for faculty teaching physics and chemistry in the national prep program. The course will give faculty a chance to discover—or refresh their knowledge of—electrochemistry basics and industrial applications like energy storage, anti-corrosion treatments, and electrosynthesis, which play […] >>
