Rossignol, which has kept its partnership with CEA Tech pretty quiet since its inception in 2015, gave attendees at Leti Days 2018 in July a sneak peek at what the partners have been working on. Rossignol CEO Bruno Cercley unveiled the company’s roadmap to develop ski equipment with sensors. The equipment, which will communicate with […] >>

In the runup to an evaluation by the French National Research Agency and Higher Education Certification Board, IRT Nanoelec is overhauling its strategy for the 2020–2025 period. The education and training program, headed by GEM’s Sylvie Blanco and Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Youla Morfouli, will narrow its focus to fewer, but more ambitious programs developed […] >>

Some 70 experts on semiconductor nanomaterials-based biosensors will come together in Grenoble on November 6 and 7, 2018. They are all counting on using nanoparticles, nanowire networks, and thin films to provide the electrical detection capabilities needed to develop miniaturized biosensors. Currently, there is only one product leveraging this kind of technology on the market: […] >>

The nanoSAFE conference, to be held at MINATEC on November 5–9, 2018, is expected to bring in nearly 400 attendees. This is the sixth edition of nanoSAFE, which is held every two years.  This international event, unique in Europe, gives nanosafety stakeholders a valuable opportunity to catch up on the latest R&D on nanomaterials-related health, […] >>

A new step forward toward tomorrow’s quantum computers has been made. Researchers from INAC and Leti demonstrated that the spin of an electron confined in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nanowire can be manipulated by an electric—rather than a magnetic—field. Controlling spin using electric fields generated by grids is a standard microelectronics-industry technology.  Australian and American researchers […] >>
