INAC is currently incubating a promising new start-up, LXRepair, that should be launched in 2013. LXRepair has developed a new multivariate method—backed by three patents—to measure enzyme activity in DNA repair. LXRepair’s technology targets two applications. First, to evaluate new treatments designed to interfere with DNA repair activity, like tumor-killing drugs, for example. Second, to […] >>

MINATEC-based Avenium Consulting, a subsidiary of CEA Investissement, has just finished compiling a massive Europe-wide database of competencies covering 87 manufacturing companies, research centers, and universities boasting a total of 250,000 patents and 100,000 publications. The project was commissioned by KIC InnoEnergy, a commercial business incorporated as a Societas Europea that supports innovation in the […] >>

If you have been wondering about Leti’s research results for 2011, look no further! The lab has published a series of five reports (in English) available as downloads on the Leti website. Printed versions of the reports have been sent to Leti partners. To design the reports, Leti looked at how top-tier universities communicate their […] >>

One of the key challenges of nanoelectronics is measuring dopant energy spectra in silicon nanostructures, because at this scale energy levels depend largely on the surrounding environment—and the in situ measurement of a single dopant is extremely difficult. However an INAC-Leti team of researchers seem to have found a way to overcome this hurdle. They […] >>

Despite its many advantages—it is fast, energy efficient, and easy to integrate—conductive-bridging RAM (CBRAM) technology has one weak spot: it can’t store data at very high temperatures. That’s why Leti researchers have teamed up with Altis Semiconductor to develop new materials and new electrolyte and electrode stacking methods. Thanks to these breakthroughs, the research partners […] >>
