The EU-funded INSPEX project was set up to develop portable guidance systems for low-visibility conditions. Coordinated by Leti, the project, which kicked off in 2017, is expected to result in systems for humans as well as for light drones and robots. The bulk of the research will focus on miniaturizing and reducing the power consumption […] >>

Leti unveiled a new micro-LED display at Photonics West in January 2017. The 873 x 500 pixel display has a pixel pitch of 10 microns and is the fruit of four years of research and development. The technological breakthrough is based on a patented self-aligned fabrication technique that requires one lithography step to create all […] >>

When it comes to atomic moirés, appearances can be deceiving. The wavy patterns are caused by the vertical movement of atoms and interference from electronic waves in the crystals. Researchers from Institut Néel, the CEA, and Grenoble-Alpes University joined forces to show that the moirés, when viewed using a scanning tunneling microscope, did not show […] >>

How do solvent molecules and anions organize themselves around the lithium in the electrolyte of a lithium-ion battery? Researchers from INAC and Liten used DFT, a computational quantum mechanical modelling method, and molecular dynamics to find answers. Their results were confirmed by vibrational spectroscopy images from the United States. The research provided crucial insights into […] >>

When you place little compasses in a magnetic field, they spontaneously align with the magnetic field. Researchers at INAC developed and patented a local magnetic-field mapping system that leverages this concept. Stated simply, the researchers invented a matrix of flexible micrometric beams made from a nickel-iron alloy etched directly onto a silicon or glass substrate. […] >>
