Researchers from INAC and LiPhy (a CNRS-Grenoble University Joseph Fourier School joint research unit) joined forces to look at how sound travels through disordered materials, with scenarios ranging from perfect crystal to amorphous materials. The simulation-based study, funded by the Fondation Nanosciences, showed that the propagation of sound waves is disrupted by defects just nanometers […] >>

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 […] >>

A new infrared source that leverages a suspended silicon nitride membrane was the key to CEA-Leti’s new energy-efficient CO2 sensor, which uses six to seven times less energy than current solutions and, with resolutions of a few parts per million by volume, meets the latest indoor and outdoor air quality standards. Plus, measurement times of […] >>

CEA-Leti researchers are working with Optys (a Nexter company) to improve smart car windshield technology and get it ready for manufacturing. Smart windshields display information useful to drivers for an augmented-reality experience at the wheel. The helmet-based system in development includes both data acquisition and projection capabilities. Originally intended for military applications, the system could […] >>

Last fall Clinatec kicked off a two-year clinical trial on six patients suffering from the most serious form of brain tumor. An amino acid tracer is being administered to monitor certain proteins secreted in the patients’ blood—and provide valuable insight into tumor activity. The results will be used to identify which of the proteins would […] >>
