  • Research
An IMEP-LAHC research team has developed a new type of slow-wave propagation line for circuits operating at millimetric and radio frequencies (3 GHz to 300 GHz). The lines are fabricated in a clean room and made of a metallic nanowire membrane enclosed in an aluminum oxide substrate. They range in thickness between 50 µm and […] >>

  • Research
If you hybridize a macromolecule made of a short oligonucleotide and an antibody on the probes of a DNA chip, you get a cell biochip that can recognize things like cells and bacteria. This is exactly what an innovative research team at INAC recently did to develop a method for capturing blood cells involved in […] >>

  • Research
Leti’s cyber security research team recently presented the latest findings of its research into two attack mechanisms: lasers and electromagnetic disturbances. This 30-person team of experts has been looking specifically at hardware, now a prime target of cybercrime and, therefore, a cornerstone of enhanced security. The goal is to develop methods for keeping physical equipment—electrical […] >>

  • Research
Do topological insulators—substances that act like insulators on the inside but whose surface contains conducting states—really exist? It would appear so based on experiments conducted on quantum wells just a few nanometers thick, but the findings are difficult to apply to three-dimensional objects. However, now a CNRS-Leti research team has discovered these surprising properties on […] >>

  • News
As at all Grenoble Institute of Technology schools, each academic program at Phelma undergoes a periodic review. Last year, the Electrochemistry and Processes for Energy and the Environment program went under the microscope. This year, two additional programs are undergoing a review: Systems and Microsystems for Physics and Biotech in February and Physics and Nanosciences […] >>
