As they participate in the Optics in the City of Light research experience program, four students from the University of Michigan join École Polytechnique’s laboratories for a two-month internship. Organized with several partners of the University Paris-Saclay, the program focuses on laser research.
The Ecole Polytechnique's traditional participation in the Bastille Day military parade, on July 14th, was marked by a stronger presence of female Polytechnic students to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Ingénieur Polytchnicien exam to women.
A revolution is taking place in the integrated optics sector, a market that will experience strong growth in the coming years. The start-up InSpek is contributing to it. We had the chance to interview the CEO and co-founder of InSpek: Jérome Michon, a young PhD turned entrepreneur.
Two of the six X start-ups rewarded at the 24th I-Lab competition - Runblind and InSpek - are supported by the X-TECH incubator at the Drahi X Novation Center. The other four - Enginn Technologies, Ever Dye, S2S and Silina - were created by X alumni.
In 2012, a new elementary particle was discovered thanks to a worldwide scientific collaboration that included Leprince-Ringuet laboratory and Center for Microelectronics. Here is a look back at this crucial step that opened up new perspectives for particle physics research.
International, Institution, Sustainable Development
The strategic alliance of six prestigious science and technology universities in Europe combines the members’ expertise in research and education to contribute to building a strong, sustainable, sovereign, and resilient Europe. Éric Labaye takes over the direction of the EuroTech Alliance for the period 2022-2023.
As a founding member of the international Alliance U7+, École Polytechnique organized the final of the alliance’s Student Challenge on June 13-14, 2022. The competition focused on Addressing Sustainable Development Goals through Technology and Pluridisciplinarity.
Ahmed Shokry Abdelaleem, a research engineer at the Centre for Applied Mathematics at Ecole Polytechnique, won the 2022 Excellence Award in Computer Aided Process Engineering, granted by the European Federation of Chemical Engineering.
The eight X start-ups are among 21 high-impact technology start-ups from the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris presented on the IP Paris stand at Vivatech 2022.
Pascal Chabert, CNRS research director at the Plasma Physics Laboratory and Professor at École Polytechnique, has just been awarded a CNRS silver medal. It recognises his significant work in the field of plasma physics, with applications for microelectronics and space propulsion.
Constraining the movement of vascular cells by culturing them on engineered microgrooved substrates generates a new pattern of collective motion that can be predicted using the physical framework of active fluids. This work has been published in Nature Communications by a team from the Hydrodynamics Laboratory.
David Henri and Paul Lascombes, two of the four founders of Exotrail, are among the 300 under 30 selected by the European edition of Forbes magazine for their innovative projects that are transforming various sectors of the economy and innovating in areas of rapid technological change.
