Leti’s cyber security research team recently presented the latest findings of its research into two attack mechanisms: lasers and electromagnetic disturbances. This 30-person team of experts has been looking specifically at hardware, now a prime target of cybercrime and, therefore, a cornerstone of enhanced security. The goal is to develop methods for keeping physical equipment—electrical […] >>

Do topological insulators—substances that act like insulators on the inside but whose surface contains conducting states—really exist? It would appear so based on experiments conducted on quantum wells just a few nanometers thick, but the findings are difficult to apply to three-dimensional objects. However, now a CNRS-Leti research team has discovered these surprising properties on […] >>

Two École Centrale Paris professors—Dr. Emmanuel Defaÿ and Dr. Alexandre Reinhardt—brought their second-year materials process engineering students to MINATEC for a day to learn about the CEA’s latest research. The twelve lucky students visited the B2I showroom, Leti’s clean rooms, and several CEA labs focused on biology, healthcare, and energy harvesting. They also got to […] >>

The IRT Nanoelec research institute was founded on April 11, 2012 through a joint venture between the French National Research Agency (ANR) and the French Atomic and Alternative Energy Commission (CEA), and comprises 17 public- and private-sector research partners—including Leti and Grenoble Institute of Technology. The institute is slated to receive €73 million of French […] >>

BeSpoon’s cutting-edge technology can locate items or individuals to within a few centimeters, either indoors or out. This impressive feat is achieved by measuring the flight time of an ultra-wideband signal (between 500 MHz and 1 GHz) with a precision of 125 picoseconds. The company’s chips can be placed on all types of easily-lost objects, […] >>
