Summary
With additive manufacturing, parts with complex designs can be made in a single step. CEA Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently used the technique to prototype a heat exchanger-reactor that could lead to more efficient production of synthetic fuels using a process called CO2 hydrogenation.
CEA-List, a CEA Tech institute, partnered with Nicomatic to develop a non-destructive testing (NDT) method for detecting the early signs of faults in electrical cables. They used a new, more sensitive and effective type of reflectometry.
Explainable AI—when an artificial intelligence produces an explanation of a decision along with the decision itself—is a requirement for certain applications. CEA-List, a CEA Tech institute, recently tackled this major issue in trusted AI by developing a new machine learning module that can classify images and annotate objects. The module has been integrated into the ExpressIF® AI platform.
Managing the intermittent nature of renewable energy production is one of the challenges to grid integration. CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, developed a decision-assistance tool to optimize energy storage and ensure better grid regulation for a variety of time horizons.
CEA-List, a CEA Tech institute, developed a module to prevent a new—and increasingly common—cyberattack known as a temporal attack. The module was presented at the IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy 2020, and has been integrated into the BINSEC code analysis suite. During testing on real programs, it proved effective against these attacks.
CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently used an advanced X-ray tomography technique to look deep inside lithium-sulfur batteries to understand the mechanisms that underpin degradation—new knowledge that could help improve battery performance and lengthen lifespans.
The 300 mm pilot line at CEA-Leti, a CEA Tech institute, recently acquired advanced wafer defect inspection and review equipment to meet the needs of its industrial R&D partners.
CEA-Leti, a CEA Tech institute, recently combined its MEMS and silicon photonics capabilities to develop a novel device capable of detecting particles within a size range that had been difficult to identify prior to this innovation. The research was conducted in partnership with CEA-IRIG.
Researchers from CEA-Leti, a CEA Tech institute, tested a novel hypothermia treatment for glioblastoma, a particularly serious type of brain tumor, at biomedical research center Clinatec.
In research conducted for a nuclear-industry equipment manufacturer, CEA-List, a CEA Tech institute, developed a new ionizing radiation measurement device. Built on the most advanced technology around, the device was designed to meet the requirements of use in nuclear power plants.
