UV LEDs produced using the semiconductor material aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) in thin layers perform poorly in the brightness and lifespan departments. Researchers on a joint INAC-CNRS team wondered what would happen if they used the material in nanowire form. And, if their early results are any indication, the use of nanowires could improve UV […] >>

A biobattery capable of producing energy from ocean and lake sediments would be a wonderful invention! But for it to become a reality, scientists first have to figure out how to extract in real time a source of energy whose characteristics vary on a scale of one to ten depending on the environment. Leti has […] >>

A 3D multicore circuit developed by two teams of researchers from Leti recently set a new global state of the art. The research and development work, conducted under a project spearheaded by IRT Nanoelec, resulted in the development of the INTACT circuit, which offers five times more processing power and double the energy efficiency of […] >>

The FMNT (Federation for Micro and Nanotechnologies) saw its mandate renewed for an additional five years on January 1, 2016. The organization took advantage of the occasion to bring in three new labs, bringing its total headcount to nearly 500—a 30% increase. The FMNT is now one of France’s largest research organizations in the fields […] >>

Leti plans to use some of its Instituts Carnot matching funds to pay for exchange programs with foreign labs and market Leti internationally, with the overriding objective of working with top-tier partners around the globe. The institute will set up chairs and researcher exchange programs each year, starting in 2016. These activities will strengthen ties […] >>
