In research conducted for the EU Spice project, Spintec demonstrated an optical magnetic tunnel junction that is 1,000 times faster than magnetic tunnel junctions that use an electric write current. This breakthrough could lead to non-volatile MRAM with unprecedented levels of performance. Earlier in this project, Spintec had shown that a femtosecond laser could effectively […] >>

What if IoT antennas could be made even smaller without compromising efficiency simply by tuning their frequency? A PhD candidate at Leti did just that! She also developed an analytical model that is as reliable as today’s simulators. Leti fabricated an antenna whose size is no more than 1/15th of the wavelength, compared to the […] >>

The finding is a major one for theoretical physics: Researchers from Irig, Institut Néel, and the Flatiron Institute (US) designed an algorithm that solves the quantum many-body problem to order 15. The quantum many-body problem describes phenomena at the atomic scale that standard approaches (“mean field approximation”) cannot model. One such example is the fact […] >>
