[HACKATHON]🎬"Du sable à la puce": la simplicité au service de la pédagogie Comment expliquer des technologies de pointe de manière simple, visuelle et engageante ? C'est le défi relevé en une semaine par les étudiantes et étudiants d'EFET CRÉA lors d'un hackathon organisé en partenariat avec le CEA. 👉 Leur mission : imaginer un format vidéo capable de raconter, avec pédagogie et créativité, le parcours qui mène du sable à la puce. Carte blanche pour surprendre et faire sourire, quitte à prendre quelques libertés avec la réalité scientifique. Parmi les projets présentés devant un jury composé de communicants et d'experts de l'institut, "Du sable à la puce" s'est particulièrement distingué. Imaginé par Yeliz Bulut et Ngan LE, ce projet associe illustration, motion design, voix off et sound design pour rendre l'univers de la microélectronique clair, vivant et accessible. Comme le résume l'équipe : 💬 « Face à la complexité du sujet, notre parti pris a été d’aller à l’essentiel. Nous avons privilégié un univers graphique minimaliste, une palette de couleurs réduite et une voix off qui guide la narration afin d’accompagner le spectateur pas à pas et de rendre chaque étape plus facile à comprendre. » Ce projet montre combien la rencontre entre science, design et communication permet de renouveler la manière de raconter des technologies complexes, en laissant aux étudiants une véritable liberté d'expression et d'interprétation. Merci aux équipes pédagogiques d'EFET CRÉA et du Campus Eductive Grenoble, ainsi qu'à Luca Canepa leur encadrant.

[NEWS] 🔐 How secure are quantum cryptography systems in real-world conditions? While Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) promises an unprecedented level of communication security based on the laws of quantum physics, practical implementations can introduce new challenges. Through the Carnot SEQUANCES project, CEA-Leti has investigated potential physical side-channel attacks targeting the optical-to-digital interface of QKD systems. To better understand their vulnerabilities and support the maturation of this promising technology. Over three years, the project has: ✔️ Characterized potential physical attacks at the optical-to-digital interface. ✔️ Strengthened CEA-Leti's expertise in quantum cryptography. ✔️ Contributed to advancing the evaluation of future QKD systems, alongside complementary initiatives such as QCommTestbed. As quantum technologies continue to evolve, understanding and anticipating potential vulnerabilities is essential to building trusted and secure communication systems. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZEvZPbu Mikael Carmona | Bernard STREE | Yann KAYSER | Marion Andrillat | Loïc Mangin | Le Réseau des Carnot

[HEALTH]💉Toward a universal flu vaccine with Lipidots® technology Researchers from CEA-Leti, in collaboration with Sanofi and Institut pour l'Avancée des Biosciences (IAB), have developed an innovative approach to enhance the immune response to a key influenza antigen, opening promising perspectives for a future universal flu vaccine. Publication's link 👉https://lnkd.in/ehnUiqhY News link 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHbEikUu 🌍 Why it matters Seasonal influenza causes between 290,000 and 650,000 deaths worldwide every year according to the WHO. Current vaccines mainly target hemagglutinin, a viral protein that mutates frequently, requiring annual vaccine updates. The new approach instead focuses on M2e, a highly conserved peptide shared across influenza strains. The challenge: M2e alone triggers only a weak immune response. 🔬 The solution: Lipidots® CEA-Leti researchers leveraged Lipidots®, proprietary lipid nanoparticles developed over more than 15 years, to graft M2e onto the nanoparticle surface using “click chemistry.” This strategy: • Preserves the natural structure of the peptide • Improves antigen presentation to immune cells • Significantly enhances the immune response to M2e Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated strong improvements in antibody and T-cell responses. 🚀 Beyond influenza The work also highlights the versatility of Lipidots® for broader therapeutic applications, including mRNA delivery and advanced vaccination strategies. Their high stability, biocompatibility, scalable manufacturing process, and natural affinity for immune cells make them highly promising vectors for future healthcare innovations. 👏 Congratulations to the teams involved in this collaborative research effort: Louis Bourlon | Jessica MAJOULET MORLIERAS | Fabrice Navarro | Patrice Marche | ANTOINE Hoang | Nadège Nief
