This summer, the first group of women to test a connected swimsuit equipped with a miniature UV sensor were spared the unpleasant experience of a sunburn. The swimsuit—the first of its kind— sends a “use sunscreen” warning to the wearer’s smartphone when the sun gets a bit too hot! Spinali Design, a startup based in […] >>

The Siemens SPECT/CT system installed in late 2013 at Clinatec has been fully operational since May 2015, following a permitting and compliance process that lasted more than a year. The system combines a CT scanner and gamma camera for simultaneous anatomical and functional imaging. The system will be used for Clinatec’s research on targeted delivery […] >>

Researchers at Leti have come up with a way to connect a home’s electric heating system to France’s national grid, letting homeowners take advantage of off-peak utility rates without sacrificing comfort. This smart-grid solution comes in the form of a dedicated circuit board with its own microcontroller. The circuit board collects data like peak and […] >>

In June, IMEP-LAHC signed a renewable nine-month contract with Anritsu to use the manufacturer’s state-of-the-art very wideband network analyzer. The analyzer can measure systems from 70 kHz to 145 GHz in a single sweep, achieving never before seen levels of performance and accuracy. The analyzer also has a four ports under probe configuration, offering unparalleled […] >>

Single-electron transistors (SETs) measuring just a few nanometers have been made by several teams of researchers around the world. However, none had managed to do it on CMOS and achieve operation at ambient temperature. Researchers from Leti and INAC have been successful on both fronts, with a transistor inside a 3.4 nm diameter silicon nanowire […] >>
