Actin, a protein in plant and animal cells, has the special property of being able to form microfilaments on its own. And according to researchers at Leti and IRTSV, this makes it an ideal “material architect” for 3D connections. They made 10-µ-diameter connections from self-grown actin filaments covered in gold. These filaments can now undergo […] >>

MEIS, or medium-energy ion scattering, off ers very-high-resolution chemical and structural surface analysis capabilities. The technique works by analyzing the energy and angle of backscattered ions, and is frequently used for fl at layers. A team of researchers from INAC and Leti recently came up with an innovation when they used MEIS to study the […] >>

Leti engineers had a surprise in store for CERN researchers when they recently presented microcoolers they had made for a CERN experiment. While the technical specifications for the microcoolers required pressure resistance of up to 100 bars, Leti’s devices held strong even at 250 bars! And the CERN is looking for even more powerful pumps […] >>

It may soon be possible to view cells, bacteria, and viruses without a lens by using a simple webcam CMOS image sensor and LED lights. While this may sound like something concocted by a mad scientist, it is in fact a practical idea that Leti and UCLA researchers have been working on for the past […] >>

Grenoble-based engineers from CEA-List have more than doubled the speed of a matrix multiplication program using a new dynamic compilation method. This method, designed specifically for multi-core processors, works by optimizing the execution of the most calculation-intensive sections of code. It offers an attractive alternative to static compilation, which optimizes the overall code using conservative […] >>
