The 41.02 building’s cleanroom, which inaugurated a third extension this summer dedicated to 300 mm microelectronics activities, now offers some 2,200 sq. m of research space. The new 500 sq. m space will house new microelectronics fabrication resources such as deposition and thin-layer etching equipment. CEA-Leti, which is managing the procurement process, hopes to begin […] >>

Julien Claudon, a research scientist at INAC, won the 2014 CNRS Bronze Medal for his nanophotonics research. Claudon studies controlling the interaction between light and matter within nanostructures. The optical antennae Claudon developed under a joint research project involving INAC, the Institut d’Optique, and the Technical University of Denmark have already been proven effective at […] >>

Catherine Picart of LMGP has co-edited Layer-by-Layer Films for Biomedical Applications, published by Wiley. The 530-page multi-authored volume is intended for graduate and post-graduate students, research scientists, and industrial R&D engineers. Picart, an expert in the subject, worked with co-editors Jean-Claude Voegel of Inserm and Frank Caruso of the University of Melbourne, Australia to compile […] >>

This year’s EDF Pulse Science and Electricity Award went to Grenoble Institute of Technology faculty member Renaud Bouchet for his research on a promising new solid-electrolyte lithium battery. The international award comes with a €150,000 grant that will be used to finance two additional researchers for the project*. The new battery is expected to be […] >>

Vincent Consonni (CNRS/LMGP) and Guy Feuillet (CEA-Leti) co-edited Wide Band Gap Semiconductor Nanowires, a two-volume, 630-page book published by Wiley-ISTE. Contributions from 44 authors from around the globe cover all aspects of GaN and ZnO nanowires with chapters on the wires’ physical properties, growth techniques, integration into heterostructures, and their use in optical devices.
