Cluster Minalogic and its members rely heavily on in-person events to promote their businesses. With live events cancelled this year, Minalogic rapidly created a series of workshops to help its members shift to business online. Among the offerings are workshops on effective online meetings and a Pitching for Success program designed to help participants craft […] >>

In research conducted for the EU Spice project, Spintec demonstrated an optical magnetic tunnel junction that is 1,000 times faster than magnetic tunnel junctions that use an electric write current. This breakthrough could lead to non-volatile MRAM with unprecedented levels of performance. Earlier in this project, Spintec had shown that a femtosecond laser could effectively […] >>

CEA-Leti has added even more new 300 mm equipment this year. The institute’s clean rooms can now fabricate their own low-resistance ohmic contacts—a BEOL process where the electrical junctions that link the active components of a circuit to the circuit’s connectors are made. The contacts fabricated at CEA-Leti offer resistances close to those made in […] >>

In research conducted for the EU Sinbat project, Irig is pulling out all the stops—electron microscopy, MRI, X-ray diffraction, synchrotron, and neutron scattering techniques—to characterize an innovative lithium-ion battery anode. The anode’s revolutionary composition includes active domains of amorphous silicon and FeSi2 nanoparticles in a graphite matrix. The silicon increases the anode’s capacity to incorporate […] >>

What motivated you to set up this Masters program focused on scientific method and experimentation? We feel that these are fundamental skills. And not only for scientists. Students planning careers in industrial R&D need them, too. Experimentation is vital to testing and development cycles. What we are seeing with our students’ culminating projects is that […] >>
