For the seventh year running, Clarivate Analytics (formerly Reuters), has ranked the CEA among the top 100 global innovators. Only two other research organizations are on the list: Fraunhofer in Germany and ITRI in Taiwan. The rest of the ranking is populated by companies, including six in France: Alstom, Arkema, Safran, Saint Gobain, Thales, and […] >>

Leti will organize a day-long event for the tenth anniversary of the Heterogeneous Technology Alliance (HTA) on April 24 in Brussels. The strategic alliance brings together four top-tier European research institutes Fraunhofer, CSEM, VTT, and Leti. HTA’s members meet regularly to discuss their latest research, set up joint projects, and prepare joint proposals for EU […] >>

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers are promising candidates for future generations of transistors and for superconducting spintronics. The materials offer the advantage of retaining their superconducting properties even in the presence of very strong magnetic fields. Researchers at INAC dug deeper to come up with a theory to explain the phenomenon. They discovered that TMD […] >>

In February Leti presented a functional prototype of an 11 mm x 7 mm CMOS image sensor whose unique feature is that it is curved. The innovation could lead to a spectacular reduction in the size and complexity of lenses. It also opens the door to a whole new breed of microelectronics where the flat […] >>

The IMBM research team led by Catherine Picart (LMGP) has built a strong reputation in the development of bioactive materials for bone reconstruction. Picart’s work on breast cancer, however, is not as well known. The scientist recently joined the three-year, €2.2 million 3D-Oncochip project, which is backed by the French Single Interministerial Fund and led […] >>
