A solution to the problem of excessive variability in ReRAM (resistive memory) could be found in Mott insulators, metals that conduct electricity in theory, but that turn out to be insulators.To test their theory, researchers working on a joint project by CEA-Leti, LTM, and CNRS fabricated 15 x 300 nm2 memory cells, replacing the usual […] >>

Physicists at Irig recently looked at how to measure turbulence flow velocity in superfluid helium-4, experimenting with two techniques used for “normal” fluids.In the first, they used a hot wire 1.3 microns in diameter as an anemometer fixed in the flow and came up with models for interpreting the signals collected.In the second, they employed […] >>

Verilor, a current fluctuation (noise) simulation software module that faithfully reproduces the phenomenon for nano-scale circuits, was developed by a PhD candidate at IMEP-LaHC.When circuits are miniaturized, low frequency noise, detrimental to performance and reliability, increases.The “flicker noise” models currently used for larger circuits are not very representative of noise measured on nanocircuits in the […] >>

Deep brain stimulation and infrared illumination appear to be effective at treating Parkinson’s disease. But why? The Clinatec Endowment Fund, through a new research project called Astropark, is looking for insights the cellular mechanisms at play in neurons and astrocytes. Deep brain stimulation, shown to significantly reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, has been used […] >>

Professor Josep Puigmartí-Luis* of the University of Barcelona, is currently working with LMGP on liquid phase ALD as part of a Fondation Nanosciences Chair of Excellence. This expert in microfluidics for ALD is collaborating with Grenoble-based ALD researchers to advance an innovative liquid phase atomic layer deposition (LALD) process. With LALD, it is possible to […] >>
