Leti and Partners Show Path to Achieve Ultimate Performance in Nanosystems

March 9, 2016

GRENOBLE, France – March 8, 2016 – A team from Leti and the University of Grenoble-Alps, along with Leti’s international partners, have developed a technique to diagnose performance problems of nanoresonators, nanosensors used in industry, research and medical diagnosis.

These nano-electrical-mechanical systems (NEMS) have never been able to operate at full capacity. The discrepancy between the theoretical limit of detection and the degraded practical limit has not been explained until now. The researchers were able to understand this phenomenon thanks to their new approach, which is featured in this month’s Nature Nanotechnology, published Feb. 29, and are working … Read More → "Leti and Partners Show Path to Achieve Ultimate Performance in Nanosystems"
