Could magnetocardiography (MCG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) one day be available to the masses? Clinatec is currently running a clinical trial to find the answer. The trial, named Minimag, will test the signal-recording capacities of an optically-pumped helium-4 magnetometer, originally designed for the Swarm space mission, on sixteen volunteer subjects. MCG and MEG would be extremely […] >>

Flip-flops are data storage elements used in integrated circuits. And while flip-flops are good, non-volatile flip-flops are even better! The latest generation of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), known as spin-orbit torque (SOT) MTJs, could be the key, delivering crucial speed, energy efficiency, and robustness. Researchers at Spintec created a model of the SOT-MTJs for the […] >>

Leti joined forces with STMicroelectronics to develop the Gaia compute node, which could help reduce the energy consumption of powerful calculation servers without affecting their performance. The circuit leverages technologies like FDSOI substrates and ARM 64-bit architecture originally developed for embedded systems. The node’s energy efficiency has been evaluated at 7.5 gigaflops per watt—that’s four […] >>

Leti recently executed hundreds of billions of clock cycles to verify a 3D 96-processor multicore circuit using the institute’s Mentor Graphics Veloce2 emulation system. Expansion cards were added to run the architecture with real peripherals and test it in a realistic environment. Veloce2 emulation systems are 10,000 times faster than traditional RTL simulation, making it […] >>

It has now been proven that injecting fatty tissue is effective at human skin rejuvenation. The discovery, first made by a surgeon specializing in burn treatment, has now been confirmed in vitro by researchers at Grenoble’s INAC and Lyon’s HCL, who injected adipose stem cells into a reconstitution of human skin. The researchers now plan […] >>
