When nanospheres organize, sound reshapes

Researchers from C2N and the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid have developed a cost-effective approach to block sound waves oscillating at billions of vibrations per second. By allowing tiny polystyrene spheres to self-assemble, they created a network …

A new AI memory capable of learning and deciding on-chip

A French team led by CEA-Leti, with participation from C2N and several other laboratories*, has developed a hybrid memory technology that allows artificial neural networks to learn and make decisions directly on-chip. The new system combines ferroelectric capacitors …

Critical coupling in plasmonic chain for efficient energy trapping

Plasmonic nanoparticles can concentrate electromagnetic energy on the nanometer scale, offering promising applications in diverse fields such as miniaturized photonic circuits or lab-on-chip. An essential prerequisite for these applications is efficient coupling between the nanoparticles and the excitation signal. …
