ONWARD Medical N.V. (Euronext: ONWD), the medical technology company creating innovative spinal cord stimulation therapies to restore movement, function, and independence in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), today announces that it has signed an exclusive license with CEA to develop and commercialize the investigational WIMAGINE BCI designed by Clinatec as part of its investigational ARC-BCI System to restore thought-driven movement and function of the human body.
PRESS RELEASE | NEW TECHNOLOGIES | HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Following a call for tenders launched in January 2024, EuroHPC and EuroQCS-France have announced the acquisition of Europe's most powerful universal photonic quantum computer from a consortium formed by Quandela (France) and attocube systems AG (Germany). The system, owned by EuroHPC and co-acquired by GENCI, will be hosted and operated by CEA at TGCC. It will be coupled to the Joliot-Curie supercomputer, and will be made available to scientific communities in 2025 as part of open research.
PRESS RELEASE | PARTNERSHIPS | BATTERIES | ELECTRIC VEHICLES | RENEWABLE ENERGIES
Stellantis and CEA, one of the world’s most innovative research institutions, today announced a new, five-year collaboration that targets in-house design of next-generation battery cells for electric vehicles.
PRESS RELEASE | INSTITUTIONAL | NEW TECHNOLOGIES | HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has signed a hosting agreement with GENCI for its next exascale supercomputer, Alice Recoque, which will be operated by CEA. It will pave the way for new scientific discoveries and post-exascale HPC and AI services.
PRESS RELEASE | HEALTH ＆ LIFE SCIENCES | BRAIN | MEDICAL IMAGING | NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES | COGNITION
The CEA is revealing a series of in vivo human brain images acquired with the Iseult MRI machine and its unmatched 11.7 teslas magnetic field strength. This success is the fruit of more than 20 years of R&D as part of the Iseult project, with one pillar goal being to design and build the world’s most powerful MRI machine. Its ambition is to study healthy and diseased human brains with an unprecedented resolution, allowing us to discover new details relating to the brain’s anatomy, connections, and activity.
