The Inria-Nano-D team developing the Samson generic nanosystems design software package, which has been working out of MINATEC for more than a year now, has a number of new wins to report. In March the team secured a European Research Council Proof of Concept grant to assess the software’s market potential, and recently released version […] >>

A group of third-year students at Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma (Carole Le Goc, Christopher Filosa, and Valentin Ramez) produced one of two short films that won awards in the first ever “Stereotype Busters” contest organized by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles, a French higher-education consortium. Students were invited to submit an original poster or film […] >>

A research consortium* that includes scientists from INAC recently produced a deep-UV laser with record-breaking performance. The laser emits at 275 nm at ambient temperature, as opposed to 310 nm cooled to 10 K, making it the best-performing system in the literature to date. The key to this technological advance? Extremely simple optical resonators (micro […] >>

According to a team of researchers from INAC and Leti, tomorrow’s quantum computers could be made from simple SOI CMOS transistors! Quantum computers do not store information as bits, represented by a one or a zero, like traditional computers. They use quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent a superposition of one and zero. And […] >>

Researchers at the Spintec lab recently demonstrated that the spin current that propagates from one ferromagnetic layer to another can be doubled if the second layer has a fluctuating magnetic order. When the researchers heated the second layer to its magnetic phase-change temperature, the spin current was much greater. And there are more ideas where […] >>
