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 […] >>

Spin-charge conversion: What could be simpler?

  • News
  • Research
An international team that included researchers from IRIG recently presented a simple, yet effective system for converting a spin current into an electrical current. They deposited aluminum onto a strontium titanate (SrTiO3) substrate at room temperature. The aluminum “pumps” the oxygen contained in the substrate and makes it conductive. The spin built up in the […] >>

How to read and modify a quantum bit, step by step

  • Industry
  • News
  • Research
A team of researchers from Grenoble (IRIG, Leti, and CNRS) made headlines in 2016 with the world’s first FDSOI qubit device—based on holes rather than electrons—made on a 300 mm CMOS fab line. Now they can read the state of the qubit, too. The researchers used a screen-grid reflectometry method, applying microwave signals to the […] >>
