The functioning of an enzyme, which could be used to produce biofuels and for green chemistry, has been deciphered. This result has mobilized an international team of scientists with an important contribution from the Laboratory of Optics and Biosciences. This discovery is published in Science on April 9, 2021.
Molecular magnets could become the components of tomorrow's quantum computing. Researchers at the Molecular Chemistry Laboratory have been involved in work that has led to a better understanding of thulium-based magnet molecules and to leads for the synthesis of more efficient molecular magnets.
An influential European learned society in the field of signal processing, EURASIP has awarded its 2020 Technical Achievement Prize to Éric Moulines, professor at the Centre for Applied Mathematics, for his major contributions in statistical inference, in particular on hidden Markov chains and non-linear filtering.
Thanks to their expertise in cell micromanipulation, Julien Husson and his team were able to demonstrate that the mechanical properties of white blood cells change when they come into contact with pathogens. These changes in viscosity and rigidity are thought to play a role in their mobility and interaction with their targets.
