How do solvent molecules and anions organize themselves around the lithium in the electrolyte of a lithium-ion battery? Researchers from INAC and Liten used DFT, a computational quantum mechanical modelling method, and molecular dynamics to find answers. Their results were confirmed by vibrational spectroscopy images from the United States. The research provided crucial insights into […] >>

When you place little compasses in a magnetic field, they spontaneously align with the magnetic field. Researchers at INAC developed and patented a local magnetic-field mapping system that leverages this concept. Stated simply, the researchers invented a matrix of flexible micrometric beams made from a nickel-iron alloy etched directly onto a silicon or glass substrate. […] >>

Leti’s new website went online in early March for the institute’s 50th anniversary, which was in 2017. The new site promotes Leti’s pioneering spirit and showcases the institute’s research activities through a variety of multimedia content, from scientific reports to demonstrator presentations. The site is well-organized by topic and has its own search engine. The […] >>

This fall, Lancey Energy Storage, a startup housed at Phelma’s MINATEC location, installed around a hundred of its smart radiators for field testing. The radiators are equipped with lithium batteries connected to a communicating meter to store energy during off -peak hours for use during peak demand. The technology behind the radiators is protected by […] >>

The 57th annual congress of the EEA Club will be held on June 8 and 9 at Phelma’s MINATEC campus location. The event will bring together professors and researchers in the fields of electronics, electrotechnics, automatics, and signal and image processing. This year’s theme is EU projects in research and education, and a variety of […] >>
