June 23, 2022 Airbus Avionics & the ILL: working together for safety in the air
Single-event effects (SEEs), which are mainly induced by neutron particles, can be responsible for soft errors. SEEs are taken into account during design phase of Avionics Equipment to avoid impact on reliability and safety.  As the functionality of avionic systems increases, aircrafts are embarking more and more advanced microprocessor and semiconductor memory devices. Complex SEE failures have …

May 18, 2022 A new iron key for high temperature superconductivity
Researchers at IRIG are conducting neutron scattering studies on iron-nickel-arsenic pnicture, a superconducting material at lower temperatures than those conventionally encountered. They have succeeded in probing this compound at the atomic scale, and their results could lead to the proposal of a common mechanism for all superconducting materials.
