Whereas most MINATEC joint labs tend to avoid the spotlight, the MINATEC-Magillem (a provider of electronic documentation systems) lab decided to hold a presentation day packed with exhibits, demonstrations, and panel discussions. Some 40 people from companies like STMicroelectronics, Schneider Electric, Thales, and Alstom attended the event to learn more about the lab’s research. These […] >>

Despite its many advantages—it is fast, energy efficient, and easy to integrate—conductive-bridging RAM (CBRAM) technology has one weak spot: it can’t store data at very high temperatures. That’s why Leti researchers have teamed up with Altis Semiconductor to develop new materials and new electrolyte and electrode stacking methods. Thanks to these breakthroughs, the research partners […] >>

Thanks to Lymphodivpenia, a biomarker developed by Grenoble-based ImmunID, doctors can offer more targeted treatment to metastatic breast cancer patients suffering from a relapse. This is the main conclusion of research published in Oncoimmunology in July 2012, and confirms the findings of two previous studies. A total of 133 patients have been tracked so far. […] >>

A Leti research team working under the FP7 Nephron project has developed an embedded system for measuring the concentrations of key dialysis solution ions (like sodium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and urea) before and after the solution passes through an artificial kidney. This measuring system includes a five-electrode electrochemical sensor and control software to test the […] >>

A recent study at INAC confirmed what scientists had already suspected: the main reason why electrodes in lithium-ion batteries fail is because the lithium accumulates and gets “stuck”—no longer playing its role in charge transfer. The scientists tested their hypothesis using NMR, and designed their experiments so that the iron in the material would not […] >>
