Magnetic frustration is a phenomenon resulting from competing constraints in a material, such as when an atom’s magnetic moments want to organize themselves in antiparallel pairs, but can’t due to their geometry. This causes matter to organize itself in complex fundamental states. Researchers have been studying magnetic frustration in triangles, for example, for decades. In […] >>

Irig was among the partners on a French national research agency (ANR) project that resulted in the on-demand emission of single photons in silicon at 1.28 µm, a wavelength used in telecommunications. They did it by introducing carefully-engineered defects into the material. The goal is to integrate this photon source into CEA-Leti chips for quantum […] >>

CEA-Leti and Intel, the world’s largest foundry, signed a contract expanding their partnership into 3D-integrated processors for high-performance computing via a multi-year R&D program in Grenoble. Intel and CEA-Leti began working together on IoT and very-high-speed wireless communications in 2016. The company recently decided to expand its successful collaboration with CEA-Leti into one of its […] >>

Researchers at IBS* are using protein antigens characteristic of melanoma, a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer, to explore whether or not stimulating a patient’s immune system can enhance treatment of the disease. The antigens would be vectorized by a non-infectious particle derived from the adenovirus. Cancer generally attenuates a patient’s immune response. Here, the […] >>

The Carnot QPIC* project has been up and running in the photonics building since last fall. The researchers assigned to the project are developing components and integrated circuits for quantum communications, where information is transmitted in the form of single protons, making the technique intrinsically secure. With quantum communications, any attempt to hack into the […] >>
