École Polytechnique is launching the first season of a series of mini-videos on its achievements in favor of sustainability, as part of its Climate plan. The first episode is devoted to the audio tour of the campus offered to cycle ingénieur polytechnicien students as an introduction to a new multi-disciplinary course on sustainability
In an article published in the journal Science, an international collaboration involving researchers from the Centre for Theoretical Physics (CPHT*) proposes a tool for estimating the difficulty of many problems yet to be solved, as well as the effectiveness of methods developed to tackle them, including quantum algorithms.
Physicist and CNRS research director at the Laboratory of Condensed Matter for Physics, Claude Weisbuch has been honored by the French Academy of Sciences.
École Polytechnique is strengthening its ties with two first-class academic and scientific institutions in India. During her visit to India in early October 2024, École Polytechnique’s President, Laura Chaubard, signed two student exchange agreements - the first with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) and the second with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi).
Madeleine Kubasch receives the L'Oréal-Unesco Young Talents prize for women in science for her doctoral work on mathematical models of epidemic propagation at the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMAP*) and INRAE's Mathematics and Informatics Applied from the Genome to the Environment (MaIAGE) unit.
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.
With over 10,000 m2 of floor space, the Mechanical Hub building brings together research laboratories in solid, fluid mechanics and livingmechanics from École Polytechnique and ENSTA Paris. Positioned near the new ONERA site, this strategic facility promotes academic excellence internationally.
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.
As part of the École Polytechnique’s international academic exchange program, more than sixty students from thirty excellent partner institutions across the globe have joined l’X for the start of the 2024 academic year. Students will get the opportunity to discover the French academic and scientific culture at l’X during an exchange semester. They will follow courses within the Bachelor of Science program or the Ingénieur Polytechnicien Program, depending on their specialization and level of study.
Nine Collective Scientisfic Projects (CSPs) were selected by the education and research departments from the 112 CSPs of the X2022 class. A jury made up of personalities from the worlds of academia, business and the press singled out three of them at the final held on September 16.
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.
