The 2022 edition of the i-Lab innovation competition was a particularly good one for the MINATEC campus, which brought home one of three grand prizes and awards for three other startups.CEA-Leti won three awards: a grand prize for Qosmos, which is developing a million-plus qubit quantum computer, as well as awards for Admir and its […] >>

Grenoble-based Scintil Photonics and eLichens, both startups developing CEA-Leti technologies, raised €25 million in capital over the summer.Scintil Photonics raised €15 million in two separate fundraising rounds in June and September. The company’s silicon photonic integrated circuits push server-to-server data transmission speeds over the terabit-per-second mark in data centers, cloud computing, and telecommunications. The influx […] >>

CEA-Leti designed a secure circuit board to provide near-sensor data processing. The boards, made up of microcontrollers and hardware security chips, will be tested on CO2 sensors in major cities in 2023.Once the data gathered by the sensors is processed, it will be sent to a blockchain to ensure full traceability, and then saved to […] >>

RFID systems are inexpensive, but their range is limited, and they are not as accurate as they could be. This makes them unsuitable for tasks like automated inventory tracking with functionalities like people and property location or counting, for example.CEA-Leti, a member of the Carnot Network, developed a miniaturized superdirectional antenna and direction and distance […] >>

CEA-Leti developed MEMS micromirrors for automotive LiDAR systems in research conducted for the EU Vizta project.The CEA-Leti micromirrors move on two axes—right to left and top to bottom—, reflecting the laser beam to effectively scan a scene for vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles.The mirrors are controlled by piezoelectric actuators that slash operating voltage sixfold compared to […] >>
