Two INAC labs have chalked up a major breakthrough that will make it easier for chip manufacturers to use supercapacitors in their computer chips. Researchers at these labs used a vapor chemical deposition process to create nanostructured silicon electrodes, and then made these electrodes both capacitive and stable through a special surface preparation. These electrodes […] >>

Imaginez le Future (“Imagine the Future”), an interactive conference held by the Minalogic competitive cluster, will take place in Grenoble on July 4, 2013. It will be free of charge and open to researchers and industry professionals. The event will kick off with a presentation on Minalogic’s strategic goals for 2013–2018. This will be followed […] >>

Actin, a protein in plant and animal cells, has the special property of being able to form microfilaments on its own. And according to researchers at Leti and IRTSV, this makes it an ideal “material architect” for 3D connections. They made 10-µ-diameter connections from self-grown actin filaments covered in gold. These filaments can now undergo […] >>

Fabien Ndagijimana, IMEP-LAHC, Pheline lab*: “We want to calm the debate on electromagnetic waves” In the book you wrote with Pheline colleague François Gaudaire [called Au Cœur des Ondes]—were you out to attack electromagnetic waves or defend them? Neither. What we wanted to do is calm the debate on electromagnetic waves, which is being fuelled […] >>

Leti engineers had a surprise in store for CERN researchers when they recently presented microcoolers they had made for a CERN experiment. While the technical specifications for the microcoolers required pressure resistance of up to 100 bars, Leti’s devices held strong even at 250 bars! And the CERN is looking for even more powerful pumps […] >>
