Summary
Reducing the thickness of the silicon wafers used to manufacture photovoltaic cells is one of the solutions researchers are investigating to lower production costs—but only if it doesn’t weaken the wafers.
A solution to help mainstream hearing-impaired students has been implemented in research conducted under the Y.SPOT project to promote collaborative innovation to respond to the major challenges facing our society today and in the future.
Arcure, founded in 2009, develops 3D vision systems for industrial and construction vehicles with the support of List, a CEA Tech institute. The company recently completed its initial public offering. We spoke to List artificial intelligence, language, and vision expert Patrick Sayd, who develops the image-analysis-based pedestrian-detection technology Arcure uses in its products.
Leti, a CEA Tech institute, was selected to supply micro-coolers for CERN’s LHCb experiment, one of four conducted on the synchrotron’s main ring. Leti had previously contributed to the NA62 experiment at CERN.
The French National Solar Energy Institute (INES) developed and tested an energy management system coupled with battery-based energy storage. The solution is currently being rolled out at the Sainte Rose wind farm in Guadeloupe.
Parametric design optimization can improve heat-exchanger performance. A tool suitable for use in industrial environments was developed to address the multi-scale and multi-physics aspects of heat-exchanger design.
The ERC-backed My Cube project is setting its sights on the first-ever in-memory computing technology. The goal is to be able to carry out simple computations directly in a circuit’s memory.
The three-dimensional cell culture images obtained will be used by biologists to study cell self-organization.
CEA-Leti, in collaboration with CEA's Fundamental Research Division, has developed a new vaccine approach for HIV based on engineered lipid nanoparticles that deliver p24 –- a viral protein that is key to an HIV vaccine –- and optimize the CpG adjuvant's effect.
