Integrated silicon photonics: making the quantum future a reality
Decades of expertise in the field of integrated silicon photonics technology at CEA-Leti supports the development of key state-of-the-art quantum photonic components on-chip. These building blocks are then employed to […]
Grenoble: a hub for the discovery of newborn exoplanets
The highly ambitious objective of detecting a planet in its formative stage in very close orbit around an extremely young star has been achieved by researchers at the Grenoble Institute […]
MAGE proteins: brought down by their groove?
Cancer is a major and growing societal challenge: already a leading cause of death worldwide, the global cancer burden is predicted to increase by 77% by 2050 compared to 2022 […]
A violin and organ sonata linking music, history and science
The European Synchrotron (ESRF) is the world’s first fourth-generation, high-energy synchrotron since completion of the EBS (Extremely Brilliant Source). The unparalleled capabilities were tested in 2020 on a violin belonging […]
Geoscience: GIANT solutions for a sustainable future
September 2024 marks the beginning of the French Geoscience Year. Organized in partnership by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and French National Education, the event combines research […]
Catalyzing the transition to a greener future
The replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy is critical for achieving EU climate neutrality by 2050. Energy storage solutions, though, are needed due to the intermittent nature of renewables […]
Natural hydrogen: a delicate paradox between sustainability and unmissable potential
The EU is committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Hydrogen – which releases no CO2 emissions when burned – has the potential to play a key role in this […]
Batteries degradation: innovative approach reveals size matters
Batteries are a key technology to enable the transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral society. The current generation of batteries, however, are approaching their performance limits and immense interdisciplinary research efforts […]
