CEA-Leti will soon finish fabricating its record-breaking bolometric detectors for the SPICA space mission. Designed by CEA-IRFU, the detectors are 100 times more sensitive than those on the Herschel satellite launched in 2009. These new detectors simultaneously measure the total intensity of cosmic rays and the intensity of each polarization component. Characterization of the first […] >>

Spintec recently teamed up with CNRS-Thales joint research unit UMPhy and China’s NIMTE to work on skyrmions. According to their results, the spin quasi-particles, which are heralded as the material for tomorrow’s magnetic memory, can be generated in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers.   Their work focused on Janus MnSeTe and MnSTe TMDs: In these materials, […] >>

DNP* increases the sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy experiments by several orders of magnitude. Two teams of researchers at Irig recently leveraged instrumentation developed over a decade and protected by seven patents to increase NMR performance by a factor of ten. Now observations can be carried out at 35 K, rather than 100 K previously, for […] >>

Colorectal cancer surgeries are particularly prone to complications, with between 3% and 20% of patients affected by CAL, or colorectal anastomotic leakage. This infection, diagnosed an average of four to seven days post-op, is a major cause of mortality.  CEA-Leti is engaged in the EIT Exuchek project, which addresses this issue. The institute is developing […] >>

Researchers at Spintec won an ERC Proof of Concept grant for a SOT-MRAM memory fabrication process developed under an earlier ERC grant. The challenge here is the unusual profile of the memory’s free magnetic layer. Rather than being round, it has a number of angles. This unique geometry eliminates the need to use micromagnets, which […] >>
