Blockchain, best-known for its use in cryptocurrency, is garnering interest from industrial companies. And CEA-Leti is currently very active on the topic, with IRT Nanoelec and EU projects in progress. Both projects are exploring how to embed cryptographic functions on a physical system like a robot. The idea is to certify the data produced by […] >>

Researchers at Spintec won an ERC Proof of Concept grant for a SOT-MRAM memory fabrication process developed under an earlier ERC grant. The challenge here is the unusual profile of the memory’s free magnetic layer. Rather than being round, it has a number of angles. This unique geometry eliminates the need to use micromagnets, which […] >>

Startup Avalun, which calls the MINATEC High-Tech Building its home, released its Covid-19 antigen test a few days ago. This powerful growth driver will also help speed up the rollout of Avalun’s portable lab, LabPad® Evolution. At the start of 2020, Avalun had plans to roll out its LabPad® INR in six regions across France […] >>

In research published in Advanced Materials, CEA-Leti and Bordeaux-based CELIA* developed a process to generate random micrometric patterns. A pulsed laser is used to melt thin layers of an amorphous germanium chalcogenide. This causes tiny wrinkles that are micrometers wide and tens of nanometers deep to form, creating the pattern. They are impossible to reproduce […] >>

Imagine earplugs that filter out noises, not voices! Startup SafeHear, founded in early 2020 by Grenoble INP-Phelma student Antoine Kuhnast and Grenoble IAE graduate Héléna Jérôme, is developing just such a product. The founders have some heavyweights behind them: They are already working on several R&D projects with STMicroelectronics and Inria. The human voice is […] >>
