Breakthrough Classifies Types of Arrhythmia Recordings With Precise Aleatoric and Epistemic Uncertainty - A team comprising CEA-Leti, CEA-List and two CNRS laboratories has published a new paper in Nature Communications presenting the first complete memristor-based Bayesian neural network implementation for a real-world task-classifying types of arrhythmia recordings with precise aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.

Galactic winds enable the exchange of matter between galaxies and their surroundings. In this way, they limit the growth of galaxies, that is, their star formation rate. Although this had already been observed in the local universe, an international research team led by a CNRS scientist 1   has just revealed-using MUSE, 2  an instrument integrated into the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope-the existence of the phenomenon in galaxies which are more than 7 billion years old and actively forming stars, the category to which most galaxies belong.

Producing dihydrogen by electrolysis of water requires rare and therefore expensive catalysts. They could be replaced by another molybdenum-based catalyst, much more abundant but currently less efficient.

Pulsars, small, very dense dead stars, emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of beams that sweep through space at regular intervals, rather like cosmic lighthouses. Now, recent observations of one of the nearest pulsars to Earth, the Vela pulsar, have caused a major stir in the scientific community: radiation around 200 times more energetic than any previously detected from this source has been detected at the H.E.S.S.

How can we guarantee the reliability of quantum systems? This is the challenge being addressed by an ambitious European research project called VeriQuB, coordinated by the QAT team (Inria, École normale supérieure - PSL, CNRS) at the Inria Paris centre. Its aim is to identify new methods for verifying the performance of quantum computers using bosons.

The organization of heterochromatin, the part of the genome containing repressed genes, into three-dimensional compartments is essential for the correct functioning of cells. But the mechanisms governing this organization are still not fully understood.

Publication of the Physics Laboratory in the journal PNAS, on July 18, 2022, and Nano Letters, on May 22, 2023. Communication of CNRS-INP on July 17, 2023. Researchers at the Physics laboratory of ENS de Lyon (CNRS/ENS de Lyon) have recreated artificial pores that mimic the functioning of two types of biological pore, paving the way for the manufacture of selective nano-pumps and nano-filters.

Publication of the CRAL in the journal Nature on December 6, 2023. Press alert of CNRS on December 6, 2023. Galactic winds enable the exchange of matter between galaxies and their surroundings. In this way, they limit the growth of galaxies, that is, their star formation rate.

Publication of the Physics Laboratory in the journal Nature on June 14, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INP on June 14, 2023. A research team involving members of the Physics Laboratory of ENS de Lyon has demonstrated the existence of a new form of order never before identified in nature: 'non-orientable' order, which can endow simple structures with properties that enable them to store information.

Ammonia plays an important role in the mechanisms at work inside the planets Uranus and Neptune. Experiments carried out at the Laboratory for the Use of Intense Lasers (LULI) have reproduced the extreme conditions prevailing on these planets, and demonstrated the fusion of "superionic" ammonia ice. These results are reported in the journal Nature Physics.

  Dark matter remains a scientific mystery: it makes up 26% of our Universe's total energy density, but has never been observed. The CNRS and German research centres from the Helmholtz Association have joined forces to create the Dark Matter Lab (DMLab), an International Research Laboratory (IRL) focusing on the mysterious substance that is dark matter.

Results Reported in Nature Article Suggest Vertical GeSn Transistors May Someday Enable Low-Power, High-Performance Chips and Quantum Computers C EA-Leti research scientists ha ve demonstrated that electrons and other charge carriers can move faster in germanium tin than in silicon or germanium, enabling lower operation voltages and smaller footprints in vertical than in planar devices.

Seven Papers Highlight Results with High-Level Integration of Technologies & Components for HPC/Edge-AI Chiplets, Optical Computing, Displays and Imagers - CEA-Leti will present new integration and packaging technologies for next-generation LiDAR optical-network driving devices in autonomous vehicles at the Electronic Components and Technology Conference , May 30-June 2, in Orlando, Fla.

  Young stars are surrounded by discs of material from which future planets form. The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the chemical composition of the disc around the star J160532, which turns out to be rich in hydrocarbons. In recent years, observations  have shown that rocky exoplanets are very abundant around low-mass stars such as J160532.

Young stars are surrounded by disks of material where future planets are born. The James Webb telescope has revealed the chemical composition of the disk of the star J160532, rich in hydrocarbons. Observations in recent years have shown that rocky exoplanets are very abundant around "light" stars like J160532.

In major metropolises, drivers looking for parking often represent more than 10% of urban traffic 1 , making both pollution and frustration worse! Can physics help understand the headache of parking in cities? Yes, if we are to believe the research conducted by a team led by a CNRS researcher at the Institute of Light and Matter (CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1), which has proposed a new approach to the topic.

Publication of the Chemistry Laboratory in the journal Nature Comunication on April 1st, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INC on April 20, 2023. Historically developed for macroscopic systems, thermodynamics is the science that allows to precisely define pressure and temperature by focusing on a system's energy flows.

Professor, Department of chemistry and biomolecular sciences, University of Ottawa, Canada Affiliated Professor 2023-25 - April 21 to May 21, 2023 (Stays planned in January 2024 and April 2025) Inviting Researcher: Carine Michel Javier Giorgi is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Ottawa.

Researchers at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory (LKB) have succeeded in building the first converter to make two types of quantum information coding communicate. This first could enable the interconnectivity of future networks. Quantum information covers both the field of quantum communications, which allows a secure exchange of information as well as quantum computing.
