The winner of the 2023 CNRS Silver Medal, Alexander Kuhn has marked the scientific community with his research in electrochemistry, which is of interest in fields ranging from pharmaceuticals to robotics.

An international research team led by scientists from the CNRS 1 has discovered that the magnetic nanobubbles 2 known as skyrmions can be moved by electrical currents, attaining record speeds up to 900 m/s.

The recently assembled LSST 1 camera is now ready to make the trip from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States to the Vera C. Rubin Observatory 2 in Chile, where it will be installed in May 2024.

CEA-Leti will present two papers on its microLED technology advances at Photonics West 2024 about making matrices of LEDs with increased data-rate density, and strategies to reduce their efficiency loss at small sizes. Described in the paper, - Parallel Communication with InGaN/GaN Micro-LEDs Using a CMOS Compatible Approach - making LEDs directly on a 200 mm silicon substrate opens the way to producing a matrix of LEDs of a few microns that are individually controlled by dedicated CMOS circuits.
