Heat Coulomb Blockade of one Ballistic Channel
Quantum physics rules charge and heat transport in low dimensional conductors. Exploring the new quantum laws of heat transport is a particularly challenging field of research. Indeed, there is no thermal equivalent of the ammeter and applying small but …

Yellow nano-bricks road for the light
For a long time optics evolution was based on the exploitation of the properties of so-called "natural" optical media, which are homogeneous and continuous on the wavelength scale. The advent of metamaterials dawned the era of new artificial media …

Neuromorphic computing with nanoscale spintronic oscillators
Neurons in the brain behave as nonlinear oscillators, which develop rhythmic activity and interact to process information. Taking inspiration from this behaviour to realize high-density, low-power neuromorphic computing will require very large numbers of nanoscale nonlinear oscillators. A simple …

Birth of electro-optical nanodiodes
Researchers from C2N, in collaboration with STMicroelectronics and Paris-Diderot University, have designed and manufactured silicon-based integrated laser nanodiodes that are able to transfer optical electrical information very efficiently within a chip. These resultsd have been published in Nature Photonics. …

Primary thermometry triad at 6 mK in mesoscopic circuits
Quantum physics emerge and develop as temperature is reduced. Although mesoscopic electrical circuits constitute an outstanding platform to explore quantum behaviour, the challenge in cooling the electrons impedes their potential. The strong coupling of such micrometre-scale devices with the …
