Since 2014, several scientific articles have presented the silicon-28 isotope as a good material for spin qubits for quantum computing. However, researchers had yet to produce the material in a CMOS environment, which uses natural silicon containing 4.7% isotope 29—not as suitable for qubits. INAC and Leti recently made a first step forward with the […] >>

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 […] >>

Pierre Benech will succeed Brigitte Plateau as President of Grenoble Institute of Technology following Plateau’s appointment to a position with the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation. Benech was named to the post in late November for a term that will last until February 2020. Bernard Penz was voted in as Vice Chairman […] >>

On February 8, all CEA centers will host the 7th Scientifique, toi aussi ! [You, too, can be a scientist!] open house on careers in science. In Grenoble, nearly 80 high-school students from science tracks and youth participating in a special outreach program will spend the day at Phelma. The traditional speed-networking meetings, very well […] >>

Turning a complex technology into a product that meets real-world customer needs and finding a business model that actually makes money is no mean feat. CEA and GEM will address this vast topic at the 4th Innovation Marketing Day to be held on March 15 at Maison MINATEC. The event is designed for professionals from […] >>
