DFT methods boost the design of new enzymes
- News
- Research
How can DFT (density functional theory) and small-angle neutron scattering be combined to create new enzymes? The answer is in an article published by an international team that included researchers from IRIG and ILL. The researchers pointed out that DFT, originally used for systems of tens of atoms, can now attain—or even surpass—100,000 atoms. This […] >>

SOT-MRAM memory now denser
- News
- Research
SOT-MRAM is more reliable over the long term and faster than STT-RAM. The problem with SOT-MRAM, however, is that it is bulky. This is because SOT-MRAM typically has two transistors (one read and one write) as opposed to STT-MRAM’s single transistor. Researchers from Leti and Spintec have recently partially overcome this challenge with a network […] >>

Leti, in research conducted as part of the EU Motion project, which kicked off in September 2019, will develop a method for measuring the stress experienced by children who cannot walk due to neurological disorders when they are in an upright position with the support of an exoskeleton. Most of the project partners are focusing […] >>

Accessing a material’s topological electronic properties could get easier
- News
- Research
Is it possible to show that the wave function of the electrons in graphene has a unique structure that makes the material so exceptional? The winners of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics did it using a simple electrical resistance measurement—which required ultra-pure graphene and a very strong magnetic field. An international team that included […] >>

NeoLED heralds new era of transformerless LEDs
- News
- Research
You no longer need a power converter to run LEDs directly off of a conventional wall outlet thanks to Leti’s new NeoLED distributed architecture. The LEDs are organized into clusters of eight and are constantly reconfigured (in series or parallel) to align their voltage with the voltage delivered by the outlet. NeoLED does away with […] >>
