Driving Microelectronics: success stories and perspectives from IMB-CNM
The 2nd Innovation Day: 0 Km Chips by IMB-CNM-CSIC brought together nearly 170 attendees who participated in discussions on the rapid evolution of the microelectronics sector, its current needs, and the received funding.
Success in the scientific activities held in Cerdanyola, Terrassa, and Barcelona for the Science Week 2024
Once again, Science Week has been the largest event for science, open to all audiences and ages, in Catalonia and Spain. The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona organized and collaborated on three activities that were attended by more than sixty people in Cerdanyola, Terrassa, and Barcelona.
Energiot, an IMB-CNM spin-off, will develop piezoelectric prototypes with 3D-printed sensors to monitor electrical grids
The company will test this technology, patented by IMB-CNM-CSIC researchers, which will allow the installation of sensors that are self-powered by vibrations and movement converted into electrical energy.
The European Commission and the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) select the PIXEurope consortium to lead the European pilot line on Advanced Integrated Photonic Circuits
The European Commission's Chips Program confirms the selection of PIXEurope as the European pilot line for photonic chips, starting the financial and technical negotiation phase. The IMB-CNM of CSIC is part of the PIXEurope consortium, which is coordinated at continental level by the ICFO of Barcelona. With the support of the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function of the Government of Spain, and the Generalitat de Catalunya, PIXEurope will mobilize investments close to 400 million euros that will offer unique technological capabilities to the industry, with the aim of improving its capacity in the development of photonic chips and positioning Europe as a global leader.
