Irig is one of eleven research teams in five countries that have been working on how to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication since April 2020. They are investigating synthetic peptides that bind to MPro, which plays a key role in the replication of this virus. The researchers combined several biomolecular simulation techniques to observe, at the scale […] >>

What if window glass could control how much sunlight gets into a building? The three-year M-Eranet Instead project was set up to investigate the potential of this type of solution to reduce the need for air conditioning, with potential energy savings estimated at 30%. The four project partners*, which include coordinator LMGP, will develop new […] >>

The EU H2020 PANBioRA project, which will be completed at the end of 2021, is making advances that will one day help doctors optimize the biomaterials used to make medical implants on a patient-by-patient basis. CEA-Leti is part of the seventeen-partner consortium that designed an instrumented microfluidic chip that tests several potential biomaterials on a […] >>

Silicon carbide, widely used in power electronics, could also be used in neural interfaces.The new SiCNeural project, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and coordinated by IMEP-LaHC, is investigating the question.The project partners will develop a very thin (less than 10 microns) and flexible all-SiC neural electrode.SiC is a biocompatible material with three […] >>

Although Spintec’s latest generation of MRAMs were not necessarily designed for use in radiation-hardened electronics, recent tests on the UCLouvain (Belgium) cyclotron showed that the magnetic tunnel junctions inside the devices can withstand heavy-ion bombardment. Two high-density memory technologies, STT-MRAM and SOT-MRAM, were tested and their main operating parameters measured. The impact of the heavy […] >>
