Could spin waves have a future in tomorrow’s ultra-miniaturized CMOS-alternative systems? Until now it was clear that manipulating spin waves required the use of materials not compatible with silicon technologies. In addition, controlling and detecting spin waves entailed using techniques that cannot be miniaturized. Researchers from INAC recently overcame several of these hurdles. The researchers […] >>

Can nanoplates in suspension in a colloidal solution arrange themselves into a lamellar (equidistant layer) structure? Researchers from INAC and CNRS recently found the long-awaited answer to this question by using small-angle X-ray scattering (ESRF) to study the material. The observations showed that antimony phosphate acid polygons measuring around 100 x 100 nm2 in suspension […] >>

How is it that spin-orbit torque can be either positive or negative in ferromagnetic bilayers? And how can the materials be combined to obtain optimal properties? Researchers at INAC worked with their peers from the US to gain new insights into these questions. They completed a theoretical study of a Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling system.   […] >>

Leti recently successfully completed field testing on a low-energy, long-range 5G communications technology (LWPA) for the Internet of Things. The technology has achieved better results than commercially-available solutions in terms of range, energy consumption, and data transmission speeds, which are compatible with the target applications.  Data transmission speeds are between 4 kbit/s and 3 Mbits/s.

This summer, the CEA set up its first international joint lab with a university in Singapore. The SCARCE* lab has a total budget of €12.5 million over three years and will focus on the recycling and transformation of electronic waste. INAC, Leti, Liten, ICSM, and IRAMIS are just some of the partners involved in the […] >>
