Gingko biloba trees, known for their longevity and medicinal properties, are now being used in nanoscience. Two teams of researchers a Irig used the plant’s LEAFY protein, which is involved in flowering, to develop a 40-layer nanomaterial made up of cells spaced 8 nm apart. The perfectly aligned cells offer excellent mechanical resistance and molecular […] >>

Élisa Vianello, who heads CEA-Leti’s embedded AI program, won a €2.8 million ERC Consolidator Grant. Disbursed over five years, the grant will fund research on computing architectures inspired by the locust’s nervous and sensory systems.The locust escapes from its predators by processing information about imminent danger “locally” in its legs. No time is wasted sending […] >>

Microsystems experts at TIMA and G2ELab have been working on little-known objects called squamous transduction earphones since late 2021. These innovative earphones have an actuator that vibrates the cartilage of the ear, turning the auricle into an audio speaker.The researchers are working with a corporate partner and with startup ActivMotion, which designed an initial version […] >>

In February, the European Commission confirmed its massive €43 billion semiconductor industry plan. €11 billion has been earmarked for research on the most advanced chips and new pilot manufacturing lines. CEA-Leti is expected to play a major role in the plan. The European Chips Act announced in February rivals the US’s support for the semiconductor […] >>
