Silicon carbide, widely used in power electronics, could also be used in neural interfaces.The new SiCNeural project, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and coordinated by IMEP-LaHC, is investigating the question.The project partners will develop a very thin (less than 10 microns) and flexible all-SiC neural electrode.SiC is a biocompatible material with three […] >>

Although Spintec’s latest generation of MRAMs were not necessarily designed for use in radiation-hardened electronics, recent tests on the UCLouvain (Belgium) cyclotron showed that the magnetic tunnel junctions inside the devices can withstand heavy-ion bombardment. Two high-density memory technologies, STT-MRAM and SOT-MRAM, were tested and their main operating parameters measured. The impact of the heavy […] >>

For the past three years, four Grenoble laboratories have been working together, using methods from materials science and economics to find alternatives to the critical materials in white LEDs.Their work, funded by the UGA Idex grant, marks a departure from conventional technology research. Scientists’ interest in the scarcity and criticality of certain materials is not […] >>

Direct Analysis, the 70th startup from CEA-Leti, has stayed under the radar since it was founded at the beginning of the year.The company has won an i-Lab award, completed twelve demos of its food testing solution, and secured preliminary regulatory approvals. Direct Analysis could open its own plant near Grenoble as early as 2022. Direct […] >>

Marion Gruart, who did her PhD research at Irig from 2016 to 2020, won a Grenoble-Alpes University innovation award for her dissertation. She was also hired for a research position by startup Aledia.Her work on a high-stakes topic, InGaN (indium gallium nitride) nanowire red LEDs, has resulted in four patents. To emit red light, optimally, […] >>
