Researchers at Leti have come up with an innovative integrated wavelength multiplexer design that will speed the development process for single- and multiple-gas sensors, resulting in competitively-priced and energy-efficient products offering high performance. The key? The sensors’ lasers produce only those wavelengths needed to detect the gases targeted. The design was originally intended for a […] >>

A “pseudo-supercondenser” capable of delivering either high power in just a few seconds or a supply of electricity over several hours has been developed by two teams of researchers at INAC. The development hinges on silicon nanowires implanted on silicon using a CVD process that ensures full control over the nanowires’ length, diameter, and number. […] >>

A group of researchers at INAC studying Josephson junctions back in 2004 may have unwittingly stumbled upon axions—the hypothetical elementary particles thought to make up dark matter. When applying a low voltage, the researchers noted a detectable electrical signal, but they were unsure of where it came from. At the time, they chalked it up […] >>

Grenoble Institute of Technology will be holding an information day for high school, prep school, and technology institute students on February 22. It will be held at the Ense3 engineering school in Saint-Martin d’Hères. The goal is to show what life is like for students of Grenoble Institute of Technology’s engineering schools and engineering prep […] >>

The €1-million Hybrid-En platform for developing advanced energy generation and storage systems started up in early February. Located in the 10.05 Building, this 300 m2 facility brings together physicists and chemists to conduct experiments at the crossroads of semiconductor and polymer research. The scientists come from INAC, CNRS, and UJF, and will conduct early-stage and […] >>
