Leti engineers had a surprise in store for CERN researchers when they recently presented microcoolers they had made for a CERN experiment. While the technical specifications for the microcoolers required pressure resistance of up to 100 bars, Leti’s devices held strong even at 250 bars! And the CERN is looking for even more powerful pumps […] >>

You’ve probably heard of people being equipped with sensors, like athletes who want to study their body movements or the elderly who receive remote care. But figuring out how the electromagnetic waves propagate isn’t easy, since the human body itself is an obstacle that can interfere with waves’ behavior. This is a major challenge in […] >>

Leti recently cut the energy requirement of a femtocell base station’s radiofrequency transmission head by 20% to 40%, for a power output of more than 30 dBm. The EU project behind this development was carried out in association with Telecom Italia, Alcatel-Lucent, and Ericsson. The use of a dual-input antenna with excellent isolation properties plus […] >>

Uranium renews hope for monomolecular magnets

  • MINATEC
  • News
  • Research
After years of research on monomolecular magnets (also called magnetic molecules), scientists have renewed hope that such molecules could one day be used to develop molecular-scale memories. Researchers at INAC recently built a wheel-shaped molecular (uranium-manganese) structure whose hysteresis cycle and energy barrier could be compatible with the applications being targeted. However, these properties were […] >>
