The collaboration of some partners began with a CNRS-supported network dealing with micro and nanoscale heat transfer. Measurement by Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) was one of its targets and a think tank was constituted at the French level in 2007

With a predicted 50% improvement in energy efficiency over current silicon devices, transistors produced from gallium nitride (the same semiconductor material used in low energy LEDs) have the potential to revolutionise power electronics. By working together, research teams from the
