Claire Dessalles (X2013), a young researcher at l'X within the "Cardiovascular Cellular Engineering" Chair, has been awarded the "For Women in Science" Young Talents France prize, presented each year by the L'Oréal Foundation and UNESCO, as well as the "Young Scientists 2020" prize from a research group.
Two collective scientific projects will be presented at the 72nd edition of the International Astronautical Congress. These two projects, which have been carried out for the past three years by students from the École Polytechnique's Space Centre, focus on a miniature satellite and on the reuse of rocket boosters.
Easy to use in the laboratory, CRISPR/Cas9 is a tool for altering the DNA of cells at precise locations. Each year, the "Personalised reconstruction of the tumour process" sponsorship teaches its mechanisms through new application cases of the evolution of a healthy cell into a cancer cell.
Two groups of students presented their Collective Scientific Projects at the Artificial Intelligence Platform, a major conference in this field of research. These projects, carried out with the Chair of Science and Video Games, focused on dialogue generation and on the control of creature movement by neural networks.
To replicate in cells, the SARS-CoV-2 virus interacts with different proteins and nucleic acids (DNA or RNA). A research consortium involving researchers from the Laboratory of Optics and Biosciences has just identified a specific interaction that paves the way for new antiviral compounds.
Claudine Hermann, the first woman to be appointed professor at the École Polytechnique, died on July 17th. A renowned physicist, she devoted her career to teaching and research and was committed to promoting women in sciences.
Christophe de La Taille, director of the OMEGA laboratory, which specializes in advanced microelectronic design, particularly for particle physics, explains the contributions of his field of research to the changes in the semiconductors industry, but also the challenges it faces.
The improvement of natural language processing algorithms is the core of the work of Alice Martin, a young researcher working on her thesis within the "Next Gen RetAIl" Chair. In order to make them more accurate and richer, she is developing specific neural networks so that they incorporate a degree of uncertainty into their operation.
What impacts do rare climate events have? This was the topic of the round table supported by the " Stress Test " Chair at RESIM 2021. While banking risks due to climate change are now included in the regulations, their impact on people and the environment must be taken into account.
Created to bring scientists and artists together, the first biennial summer school of the arts & science Chair, called "Useful fictions", has given rise to various research-creation projects, for example on cosmic dust and biomimetic inspired objects. The next edition will take place from 4 to 11 July 2021 in Poitiers.
Mathematics is back in the 2021 list of Forbes 30 Under 30- Europe, with the nomination of Amaury Hayat, a researcher trained at École Polytechnique, who studies the application of mathematics in the environmental field and artificial intelligence to contribute to future great discoveries.
Can video games help to empower people with autistic disorders and be a social connector? Tifanie Bouchara, Fabienne Cazalis, Benjamin Misiak and Pierre Escaich contributed their views and expertise on the issue of neurodiversity at the second annual conference of the "Science and Video Games" Chair.
Hanabi, a board game where players must cooperate to share incomplete information, is considered the new challenge for artificial intelligence. Antoine Bauza, Vicky Kalogeiton and Pierre Beri discussed this board game during the "Science and Video Games" Chair conference.
Is the realism of physical systems achievable in video games? This was the question discussed by David Louapre and Florence Bertails-Descoubes at the annual conference of the "Science and Video Games" Chair. They explain the compromises made in the name of player immersion and the current obstacles to game realism.
