The good news just keeps coming for Prestodiag, a start-up founded in 2012 to develop advanced INAC-ISB bacteria-detection technology. In the space of just a few months, Prestodiag won three awards for innovative start-ups, including one from the Génopôle Evry biotech cluster and one in the French Senate’s entrepreneurship competition. Prestodiag’s fast-detection method is truly […] >>

Under the French National Research Agency (ANR) Aptitude program, which kicked-off in January 2013, Leti plans to develop artefact-free 3D reconstruction methods for atom probe tomography. The research will lay the groundwork for the future 14 nm technology node and its new FINFET architectures and FD-SOI transistors. Scientists will need new characterization tools if they […] >>

KaïronKem, which specializes in custom synthesis, now sells a line of purely organic dyes (orange, red, and purple) developed by INAC. These metal-free dyes are the result of research INAC has been conducting since 2009. The dyes’ conversion yields still top out at 6%, but thanks to their high absorption they can cut the amount […] >>

The Clinatec R&D center has completed the major renovation work necessary to bring its facilities into compliance. The revamped center is now fully operational with a team of 90 researchers. And the center recently scored a big win with successful toxicology testing on Protool, a surgical instrument that can capture tissue (healthy or cancerous) for […] >>

The future 5G mobile telephony standard will probably not be operational until 2020. However, Leti—which recently completed two EU-funded research projects on “post 4G” technology—is already shaping tomorrow’s 5G with partners like France Telecom, Alcatel-Lucent, Vodafone, Sagem, and Nokia Siemens Networks. BeFemto, the first “post 4G” project, looked at femtocell systems, which will one day […] >>
