Researchers at Leti have developed a reader and ASIC for RFID data reception at speeds up to 27.12 Mb/s required by the ISO 14443-amd5 standard. The new technology could be used for electronic passports, which will store more and more information, from biometric data to secure protocols. Tomorrow’s fourth-generation electronic passports could even be used […] >>

Researchers at Leti have reduced the thickness of antennas for satellite communications and tomorrow’s 5G network access points by half. Their secret? They replaced the single focal point of today’s antennas with a four-source focal network. A 30 GHz antenna leveraging the innovation measures just 10 cm x 10 cm and is just 3 cm […] >>

Researchers at the nano characterization platform (PFNC) have coupled X-ray diffraction and X-ray diffusion to observe a chalcogenide thin layer during annealing. Their goal was to gain a deeper understanding of what happens to the morphology and structure of PCRAM materials when they transition from an amorphous state to a crystalline state. The X-ray diffraction […] >>

Magnetic objects of the same composition but with different geometries demonstrate different magnetization reversal behavior. Researchers at INAC have discovered that the shape and direction of the wires (in systems made of aluminum oxide and cobalt wires and platinum) determined the spatial distribution of spin-orbit coupling in the object, and therefore the angular momentum required […] >>

Any visitor touring the cleanrooms in building 41.01 would have a hard time believing that the building was ravaged by fire less than a year ago. The fire-damaged area of the building reopened in December after four and a half months of repairs and the installation of new equipment to replace equipment damaged in the […] >>
