The ultra-high bandwidth Wide I/O interface developed by Leti and ST-Ericsson will soon be used in a promising new way: to link two processors in a new system-on-chip, called MAG3D, for 4G telecoms applications. Incorporating the latest in 3D integration, MAG3D will deliver twice as much power as its predecessor, Magali, without having to go […] >>

Leti has developed a miniature version of its high-resolution helium 4 magnetometer that offers state-of-the-art sensitivity on a gas sample of just 100 mm3, or 320 times smaller than the full-size model. Leti, which carried out the development work in association with FEMTO-ST (a CNRS joint research unit), has filed a patent for a process […] >>

A second-year PhD student from IMEP-LAHC is currently performing a six-month research assignment under Dr. Zhong Lin Wang at Georgia Tech in the United States. Dr. Wang is a pioneer in the application of nanowires’ piezoelectric proprieties, and is working to use nanowires developed in Grenoble in systems for harvesting mechanical energy. The project with […] >>

Painful vaccinations will become a thing of the past thanks to a clever new invention from Swiss medical device maker Debiotech. The company is working with Leti to develop a process for making silicon micro-needles that are only 700 microns long, preventing the needle from reaching the nerves in the dermis while boosting injection efficacy; […] >>

MINATEC recently introduced a new turnkey laboratory service—the only one of its kind in the world—inspired by the CIME Nanotech joint lab between Grenoble Institute of Technology and Joseph Fourier University. This service, called Nanolab, is intended for governments wishing to spur technological innovation in their countries. Experts from the French Atomic and Alternative Energy […] >>
