Sodimas, France’s leading elevator manufacturer, is teaming up with Schneider Electric and Grenoble Institute of Technology to develop a smart-grid-connected elevator that is powered both by the grid and by alternative energy sources. The R&D is taking place under the EU Arrowhead project. CEA-Leti is also involved in the project, supplying a virtual platform to […] >>

Researchers at INAC have successfully used a technique initially developed for molecular analysis to observe 10,000 to 20,000 cells at once. The advance hinges on using breakthrough optics to give SPRi (surface plasmon resonance imaging) micrometer resolutions, even for large observation fields. The researchers improved both the plasmon propagation length and image sensor, boosted the […] >>

The EU FP7 d-LIVER project aims to develop a bio-artificial liver (BAL) support system for patients suffering from liver failure or awaiting a transplant. The project, launched in 2011, brings together a dozen partners, including CEA-Leti, which is supplying sensors for the real-time monitoring of ammonium ions. Leti’s sensors are currently accurate to within 8% […] >>

The IRT Nanoelec education program will soon be putting an original educational video online. The short animated video aims to teach non-specialists about nanoelectronics and its applications. The video’s attractive visuals and irreverent tone are intended to resonate with the high-school and college set, highlighting the nanoelectronics research taking place in Grenoble and sparking interest […] >>

Semicon Europa, the world’s leading microelectronics-industry trade fair, has been held every year for the past 35 years. But not once has the event taken place in Grenoble—until now. Semicon Europa 2014 will come to Grenoble’s Alpexpo expo center from October 7 to 9. And the local microelectronics community is pulling out all the stops […] >>
