Exploiting the non-ideality of memristor devices can allow AI at the edge
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently offering incredible applications, but at the cost of a very high energy consumption. For these reasons, embedded objects like medical devices need to connect to the cloud to access AI, raising issues in terms …

Source of correlated photons made (very) small!
Teams at Thales and C2N (CNRS/UPSaclay/UParis) have developed a novel miniaturized source of light called Photonic Crystal Optical Parametric Oscillator. An Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) is similar to a laser in that it generates coherent light, namely photons …

Indirect to direct band gap crossover in two-dimensional WS2(1−x)Se2x alloys
Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) combined with DFT calculations, physicists from the Center for Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies (C2N, Université Paris-Saclay / CNRS), in collaboration with researchers from Hunan University (China) demonstrated that high PL intensity value observed in WS0.4Se1.6 …
