Leti, Liten, and INAC cut the ribbon on the new Predictive Simulation Center on September 25, 2017. The cross-disciplinary center, staffed by around 60 simulation experts, does not yet have its own facility, a situation that is expected to change within a year. What the center does have is the combined simulation know-how of three […] >>

Leti just turned 50. What are the institute’s priorities today? Leti’s goal is to leverage the 300 mm platform and advances in FDSOI to remain a leader in miniaturization technologies. Microelectronics is Leti’s home playing field. It is a diverse topic that offers many opportunities to integrate, transfer, and transpose new technology. True to Leti’s […] >>

In the space of just a year the FMNT (Federation for Micro and Nanotechnology) has hired three up-and-coming CNRS researchers, all of whom passed very selective competitive exams at the national level—proof of the quality of FMNT’s research and the attractiveness of its labs. Two research scientists joined FMNT’s LMGP lab in February: Monica Burriel […] >>

The high-throughput Cytonote Cell counter, released in July 2017 by Iprasense, lets labs monitor up to 96 cell cultures in parallel and in real time. Like the company’s previous-generation cell counter, the new product delivers statistics on cell viability and requires no specific sample preparation. The product is the third in Iprasense’s lineup to leverage […] >>

What do you get when you take a GaN nanowire, add a very thin layer of InAlN, and then heat the GaN to make it disappear? An InAlN nanotube! And if you use a nanowire covered with multiple layers of InAlN/GaN, you get a nanotube whose walls are made up of quantum dots! The quantum-dot […] >>
