Project Partners
The LEIT project officially commenced on January 29, 2021, with a scientific online kick-off meeting. Besides Prof. Sotomayor’s group, the project includes partners from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., the University of Science and Technology of Lille (France), and CEA, Grenoble (France).
Vision
Drawing on extensive research in phonons, semiconductor nanostructures, Si membranes, and phononic crystals, the LEIT project aims to demonstrate the viability of acoustic phonons as low-energy information carriers.
This will lay the foundation for a new phononics-based approach to information processing, offering significant advantages in energy efficiency, reliability, and compactness.
