Beyond a material’s limit of conductance by controlling the interactions between electrons
News from Institut de physique of CNRS - June 15, 2018 (released in French) Physicists have observed that the conductance of an electrical current can go beyond its theoretical quantum limit, by exploiting the correlations developing in the vicinity …

Studying thin magnetic layers using an analogy with the physics of soap bubbles
Physicists have studied thin films of magnetic material and applied concepts of the physics of soap bubbles. With this approach, which had been barely used so far, they were able to explain new phenomena. There is a very interesting analogy …

"Super-thermal" emission of photons by coupled nanolasers
News from Institut de physique of CNRS - April 27, 2018 (released in French) Thanks to two coupled nanolasers, physicists were able to generate an out-of-equilibrium system emitting multi-photon bursts, known as "super-thermal" light. This approach is not restricted …

A new memory resistive device developed with magnetic nanopillars surrounded by resistive silicon switches
Magnetic nanopillars surrounded by resistive silicon filaments have been used to develop a novel memristive memory. Emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) combined with novel computing architectures have recently been considered as the most promising solution to overcome the “memory …

Topological acoustics at the nanoscale
Nanometric semiconductor structures have been used to confine ultrahigh frequency sound by exploiting their topological properties. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to the field of topological matter. A key result was the demonstration that topology can be …
