Spatiotemporal manipulation of the near- and far-electromagnetic (EM)-field distribution and its interaction with matter in the THz spectrum (0.1-0.6 THz) is of prime importance in the development of future communication, spectroscopy, imaging, holography, and sensing systems. Reconfigurable Intelligent (Meta)Surface (RIS) is a cutting-edge hybrid analogue/digital architecture capable of shaping and controlling the THz waves at […] >>

Magnetic random access memories (MRAMs) are now on the market, in FPGAs or cache memory blocks. The concept of Perpendicular Shape Anisotropy MRAM (PSA) has been proposed to expand the MRAM market: the usual ultra-thin storage layer being replaced by a vertical magnetic pillar, allowing retention to be maintained at <10nm size and at high […] >>

Emission imaging is a medical imaging modality using radiopharmaceuticals, enabling to retrieve functional information. It is highly specific and sensitive to very small concentrations of the tracer. However, current instruments like scintillation cameras measure only a small fraction of emitted photons. Positrons cameras are more sensitive but limited to beta+ emitters. Recent improvements in the […] >>

Neuromorphic networks for signal and information processing have acquired recently a renewed interest considering the more and more complex tasks that have to be solved automatically in current applications: speech recognition, dynamic image correlation, rapid decision processing integrating a plurality of information sources, behavior optimization, etc… Several types of neuromorphic networks do exist and, among […] >>

The most innovative communication systems for beyond 5G and future 6G applications have to face a number of challenges related to the trade-offs between link range, power consumption and data-rate. A growing interest is put on radio frequency circuits operating at mmW and sub-THz bands because at those frequencies there are large portions of available […] >>
