The BepiColombo probe flew over the planet Mercury and began measuring the characteristics of its magnetosphere, thanks in part to the MSA ion mass spectrometer to which the Plasma Physics Laboratory (LPP) contributed.
Alain Aspect, Professor at École Polytechnique and the Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Université Paris-Saclay, Emeritus Director of Research at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and 2022 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, gave a lecture on “Quantum entanglement and the non-locality revolution”. This talk was part of the fiftieth anniversary of the X1974 graduating class and the Science Festival at École Polytechnique.
X66 and CNRS Research Director at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory (LMS) between 1973 and 2010, Gérard Gary has just been awarded the John Rinehart Prize for his work on the dynamic behavior of materials.
École Polytechnique, Inria, CNRS and Bañulsdesign have joined forces to launch the MATritime joint laboratory, with funding from the French National Research Agency. The aim is to develop computational and statistical tools that will provide the sea shipping industry with the tools for more sustainable boat design and operation.
Sonio, the result of mathematical research carried out at the Centre for Applied Mathematics (CMAP), is developing a solution to support practitioners in the conduct of fetal ultrasound and antenatal diagnosis. Automated with the help of artificial intelligence, this tool aims to detect anomalies in real time, or after the examination to remove any doubt. Launched in 2020, its acquisition by the medical subsidiary of Korean giant Samsung has just been finalized.
Catherine Rolland is project manager of the GameLab of the "Science and Video Games" Chair at the École polytechnique, for which she is preparing the new programme. She has been involved in a number of projects on education about the medium. In autumn 2023 she was named one of the 100 Cultural Women of the Year for her commitment to video games.
Launched by the SNCF group, the École polytechnique and the Fondation de l'École polytechnique, this new teaching and research chair will develop innovative AI-based technologies to improve the quality and sustainability of transport. It will involve Polytechnique engineering students in the challenges of sustainable mobility.
Theoretical physicist Carlota Andres and economist Julien Combe are the winners of two ERC Starting Grants supported by Ecole Polytechnique. This funding from the European Research Council helps early-career researchers to build their teams and pursue their most ambitious ideas.
Orange Group, Société Générale Côte d'Ivoire, INP-HB, ENSEA, École Polytechnique and the Foundation of École Polytechnique are renewing the ‘Data Science Institute’ international Chair to continue its international teaching programme in data science. The renewal was celebrated on 8 July 2024.
In early 2024, Charles Baroud, professor and researcher at the Hydrodynamics Laboratory (LadHyX*), was awarded an ERC Advanced Grants for his Melcart project. Acronym for Mechanical Characterization and Stimulation of Microtissues, this research project aims to develop technologies and knowledge around mechanobiology, with a view to numerous applications in engineering, pharmacology and health. Focus.
Held at École Polytechnique, Opération CIEDS 2024 brought together researchers, students, companies and Ministry of the Armed Forces personnel to discuss issues at the crossroads of Defense, Innovation and Industry. For its second edition, Opération CIEDS confirmed its success.
