Thales
THALES is a world leader group for electronics and a key player in numerous markets such as aerospace, space, ground transportation, digital identity and security, physical and cyber security and defense. Thales Research and technology research teams have very diverse skills ranging from materials elaboration (polymers, epitaxy of various semiconductors, superconductors, dielectric or magnetic thin films, ceramics, etc.), through component modelling, processing, testing, assembly and packaging, to integration in appropriate demonstrators, which allow full validation of the technologies investigated before their transfer to operational divisions of Thales Group. Thales is involved in SkyANN through its joint laboratory with CNRS “Laboratoire Albert Fert” located at Thales Research and Technology in Palaiseau, France.
Competence relevant to
SkyANN
Role in the
project
Thales is work package leader of WP3, i.e. the optimization of neuron and device interface. The objectives are to achieve neural functionality and to design CMOS-based circuit and produce physical models. Thales is also strongly involved in other WPs as they recently demonstrated the controlled nucleation and propagation of skyrmionic particles in a hardware neuromorphic circuit in collaboration with CNRS.

At SkyANN, the University of Manchester brings its expertise in skyrmion physics and artificial intelligence. Our Skyrmionics team specializes in both topological and non-topological spin textures, as well as the dynamics of skyrmionic textures. We actively work on growing magnetic multilayers and engineering their magnetic properties to optimize key attributes such as anisotropy and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Utilizing a combination of characterization techniques, including X-ray imaging and Magnetic Force Microscopy, along with micromagnetic simulations, we aim to explore skyrmion physics and exploit it for innovative devices. Our goal is to enable applications like synaptic functionality, nanocomputing, signal multiplexing, and neuro-inspired computing.
