Researchers at Leti have tested in real-world conditions a power converter capable of operating at an ambient temperature of 200 °C (and up to around 250 °C). High temperatures like these are common in automotive, aeronautics, and oil and gas drilling applications. Leti’s technology could also reduce—or eliminate entirely—the need for cooling systems in less-demanding […] >>

At the end of September LMGP presented its new SALD (Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition) reactor to MINATEC. It is the first reactor of its kind in France. It operates at atmospheric pressure, bringing down costs, and can perform atomic layer deposition up to 100 times faster than traditional ALD equipment. And the resulting layers are […] >>

A traditional Josephson junction has two superconducting terminals. But researchers at Inac* recently looked at the theoretical behavior of four-terminal junctions—and the idea was an excellent one! The researchers predicted that, by applying a different voltage to two of the terminals, they would obtain the alternative current that characterizes the Josephson effect and a totally […] >>

Researchers at Spintec have achieved skyrmions that are stable at ambient temperature and without a magnetic field. The researchers deposited a magnetic layer of cobalt several atoms thick between a layer of platinum and a layer of magnesium oxide. The resulting structure significantly increases the magnetic interaction that underpins the skyrmion’s helicoidal structure. The skyrmion—a […] >>
