Leti engineers had a surprise in store for CERN researchers when they recently presented microcoolers they had made for a CERN experiment. While the technical specifications for the microcoolers required pressure resistance of up to 100 bars, Leti’s devices held strong even at 250 bars! And the CERN is looking for even more powerful pumps […] >>

You’ve probably heard of people being equipped with sensors, like athletes who want to study their body movements or the elderly who receive remote care. But figuring out how the electromagnetic waves propagate isn’t easy, since the human body itself is an obstacle that can interfere with waves’ behavior. This is a major challenge in […] >>

It may soon be possible to view cells, bacteria, and viruses without a lens by using a simple webcam CMOS image sensor and LED lights. While this may sound like something concocted by a mad scientist, it is in fact a practical idea that Leti and UCLA researchers have been working on for the past […] >>

Rohde & Schwarz, a German manufacturer of radiofrequency (RF) test equipment, has teamed up with Leti to develop technology to improve its systems. The goal is to find a way to characterize the RF blocks (like amplifiers, oscillators, and frequency mixers) used in tablets and smartphones under real-world conditions. Existing characterization tools take into account […] >>
