Connected knee implant contains miniature sensors made in Grenoble

  • News
  • Research
Leti is contributing to the €24 million FollowKnee connected knee implant project that kicked off in early 2018. Leti will develop sensors measuring 1 cu. mm to detect anomalies like infection, mechanical fatigue, and abnormal joint movements. The researchers will be working to overcome technical challenges like miniaturization, biocompatibility, the integration of a remote power […] >>

2D materials: Moiré engineering and dislocation theory converge

  • News
  • Research
Researchers at INAC working with colleagues from the University of Illinois recently made new links between the moiré patterns in 2D materials and dislocation theory. It appears that the moiré patterns are merely optical phenomena. However at the scale of an atom, the patterns appear when layers are stretched, compressed, twisted, or moved out of […] >>

  • News
  • Research
Researchers at INAC and Grenoble-Alpes University recently demonstrated that it is possible to efficiently produce hydrogen using artificial photosynthesis in solution without the need for toxic, expensive photosensitizing agents. The researchers used nanocrystals with a copper sulfide and indium core protected by a zinc and sulfur shell, plus a cobalt-based molecular catalyst. They produced hydrogen […] >>
