In the context of intensive research on treatments against diabetes – major health threat to millions of people, we report here on an innovative approach based on mechanobiology. Basically, chronic hyperglycemia is regulated by a supply of insulin, if insufficiently secreted. We show here that the mechanical stimulation of pancreatic beta cells, via the […]

Eric CLOT est chercheur doctoral à SPINTEC. Son travail concerne le développement d’un microscope quantique dit à centre NV, et son application à l’étude de systèmes spintroniques. Son portrait a été réalisé par l’Institut de Recherche Interdisciplinaire de Grenoble, auquel est rattaché SPINTEC.

Suferfast is an ANR project, with title Exploiting specificities of d-wave superconductivity for ultrafast dynamic coupling with magnetism (ANR-22-CE30-0020-01). SUPERFAST aims at demonstrating novel spin transport and ultrafast dynamics coupling effects in heterostructures combining magnetic materials and unconventional superconductors (S). The pursued ideas have much interest within condensed-matter physics and in the nascent field of […]

MAROT stands for Low noise MAgnetometeR based On Tunnel junctions. It is a 42-months long ANR project (ANR-22-CE42-0020). The current boom in nanosatellites, which are revolutionizing space exploration, calls for the development of suitable miniature instruments. In particular, the extremely high-performance magnetometers used to date on-board satellite, such as search-coils or flux-gates, are heavy and […]

  Spin-torque-nanodiodes based on magnetic tunnel junctions are promising candidates for RF energy harvesters and ultra-low power wake-up receivers with performances that are expected to surpass those of semiconductor diodes. Experiments on magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy show how the performances can be optimized upon reducing the magnetic layer thickness and the device […]

  We have investigated the use of spintronic devices to enable the implementation of a Binary Ensemble Convolutional Neural Network. A simulation flow has been setup and allowed to evaluate this disruptive combination and very promising results have been obtained in terms of hardware optimization and power reduction. The use of emerging technologies has been […]
