On March 21 and 22, the conference "Aspects of Gravity, Mathematics and Physics" took place. It was organised by the Laurent Schwartz Mathematics Center and the Center for Theoretical Physics for scientists to discuss issues related to gravitation as well as the theory of general relativity and its extensions.
Fifty years after the opening of the Ingénieur polytechnicien program to women, the École Polytechnique inaugurated an exhibition dedicated to the feminization of the school and the inspiring careers of its alumnae, in the presence of many of the women honored on this very special occasion.
Ten start-ups founded by École Polytechnique alumni or supported by the X-Novation incubator are included in the ranking of the 100 start-ups to invest in in 2022 published by Challenges magazine.
A study carried out at Ecole Polytechnique's Hydrodynamics Laboratory by Sophie Ramananarivo has drawn inspiration from kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, to study materials that can deform when immersed in a fluid.
Nineteen École Polytechnique alumni have been chosen by the French think tank Institut Choiseul in its annual ranking of the top 200 young French economic leaders, seven of them appearing in the top 100.

Smilei is an open-source code for plasma simulation, the result of a collaboration between physicists and high-performance computing experts. It can simulate relativistic interactions between lasers and plasma or astrophysical phenomena. The workshop from 9 to 11 March explored this vast field of applications.
The French Minister for the Armed Forces, Florence Parly, came to Ecole polytechnique to talk with the Polytechnicien students and to preside over the military parade for the X2019 Class leaving the campus. Faced with crises, France needs top-flight engineers, she said.
Aleix Güell, researcher at Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films, has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant. It will allow him to explore the commercial potential of an imaging technique that combines scanning probe microscopy and Raman spectroscopy to study materials in liquids, from battery to living cells.
In a research paper published in Nucleic Acids Research, an international collaboration involving the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory shows the presence of nucleic acid knots called G-quadruplexes in helminth parasites. The researchers also identify molecules that can bind to these structures.
