As at all Grenoble Institute of Technology schools, each academic program at Phelma undergoes a periodic review. Last year, the Electrochemistry and Processes for Energy and the Environment program went under the microscope. This year, two additional programs are undergoing a review: Systems and Microsystems for Physics and Biotech in February and Physics and Nanosciences […] >>

Recently, three engineers from Leti began exploring the idea of a start-up to develop and commercialize a technology called Diabolo. The new technology, which Leti has protected via numerous patents, makes it possible to embed electronics like LEDs, RFID tags, and sensors in textile or plastic threads with diameters of around one millimeter. The threads […] >>

Grenoble-based start-up ImmunID is presenting the results of clinical trials on its Lymphodivpenia biomarker at the prestigious American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting being held in Chicago from June 1 to June 5, 2012. This ground-breaking immune system biomarker can be used to maximize the efficacy of chemotherapy treatments while limiting the side […] >>

The tiny motors that power the autofocus on smartphone cameras could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to technology from Wavelens, a start-up scheduled to be launched by the end of this year. The three Leti engineers behind the budding company have developed adjustable-focus lenses integrated on silicon that should be ready for […] >>

Two École Centrale Paris professors—Dr. Emmanuel Defaÿ and Dr. Alexandre Reinhardt—brought their second-year materials process engineering students to MINATEC for a day to learn about the CEA’s latest research. The twelve lucky students visited the B2I showroom, Leti’s clean rooms, and several CEA labs focused on biology, healthcare, and energy harvesting. They also got to […] >>
