In research conducted under a contract between the CEA and UCI (the world’s governing body for professional cycling), Leti is developing a system capable of detecting an electric motor hidden in a bicycle in real time. The researchers are planning to develop a lightweight, compact, and reliable embedded tracker. They selected a magnetometer to detect […] >>

LMGP has been working on bioactive surfaces for bone regeneration for a decade. Today, the lab is internationally-recognized as a leader on the subject. It all started when biophysicist Catherine Picart came to LMGP in 2008. The story continued with four European Research Council grants, dozens of publications, three patents, and—more recently—planned startup Regenerbone. In […] >>

INAC recently obtained excellent results on new dye-based solar cells, boosting yields by more than 10% and achieving current densities of nearly 20 mA/cm2. The cells are based on a new-generation organic dye and electrodes made of titanium oxide “inverse opals” that more effectively trap and scatter light. An inverse opal is a periodic honeycomb […] >>

The compressed acquisition of a radiofrequency (RF) signal consists of capturing the majority of information in the RF bands with an effective, energy-efficient system. It works much like a bat’s echolocation system, gradually homing in on its prey—or, in this case, the signal. The technique will initially target radio receivers and cognitive radars that adapt […] >>

Back in 2009 Mina-News predicted that photons would be used to build logic gates. While that particular application for photonics has since been abandoned, Leti’s silicon photonics research has continued to expand. Today, researchers are focusing on the very-high-speed communications requirements of datacenters and supercomputers. With photonics components, data transfer speeds could reach up to […] >>
