Leti recently cut the energy requirement of a femtocell base station’s radiofrequency transmission head by 20% to 40%, for a power output of more than 30 dBm. The EU project behind this development was carried out in association with Telecom Italia, Alcatel-Lucent, and Ericsson. The use of a dual-input antenna with excellent isolation properties plus […] >>

After years of research on monomolecular magnets (also called magnetic molecules), scientists have renewed hope that such molecules could one day be used to develop molecular-scale memories. Researchers at INAC recently built a wheel-shaped molecular (uranium-manganese) structure whose hysteresis cycle and energy barrier could be compatible with the applications being targeted. However, these properties were […] >>

The first-ever “Grenoble Institute of Technology Information Day” will be held at Ense3 on February 16, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This new event will provide valuable information about Grenoble Institute of Technology’s six engineering schools to students enrolled in high school, engineering school preparatory programs, university technology programs, and their families.

The Leti Annual Review—a two-day conference where Leti researchers present their latest findings—will become the four-day Leti Innovation Days starting in 2013. This change will enable the conference to address even more technology- and innovation-related topics and delve into them in greater detail. The first Leti Innovation Days will be held at MINATEC on June […] >>
