Initiated by RivieraWaves and CSEM, the European funded BLIM4SME project launched last month with the aim of developing miniature wireless modules targeting healthcare and lifestyle applications using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This is in response to the consortium's view that wireless sensors enabled with BLE are experiencing strong market interest.

The four major European research centers CEA, CSEM, VTT and Fraunhofer that form the Heterogeneous Technology Alliance have now launched a research, development and innovation for Smart Integrated Solutions.

With the aim of continuing to promote industrial innovation based on state-of-the-art technologies, CSEM has opened a new innovation center in Muttenz, with the support of the Canton of Basel-Landschaft. The polytronics development center is involved in the mass production of organic electronics.

CSEM and Swisstrace introduce Twilite, a new and highly sensitive nuclear medicine blood sampler that measures - with high temporal resolution - the time-course of radioactivity in whole blood. Medical imaging techniques are increasingly important diagnostic tools for cancer and age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) – a nuclear medicine imaging technique that produces a three-dimensional picture of the bod...
