On this day two hundred years ago, André-Marie Ampère presented his work on electricity for the first time at the Royal Academy of Sciences and laid the foundations of electromagnetism. Dive into the portrait of this illustrious scientist who taught mathematical analysis and mechanics at l’X from 1804 to 1828.
Institut Polytechnique de Paris and HEC Paris announce the launch of Hi! PARIS, an interdisciplinary research center for AI and Data Science. Hi! PARIS aims at becoming a world leader in these field. The Center is entirely funded by the patronage of companies which are mobilized behind the two academic institutions.
Manas V. Upadhyay, assistant professor at Ecole Polytechnique at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory, has been awarded 2020 ERC Starting Grants to help him set up his research team to better understand and guide additive manufacturing of metals and alloys.
Landry Bretheau, assistant professor at Ecole Polytechnique at the Irradiated Solids Laboratory, has been awarded 2020 ERC Starting Grants to help him set up his research team to manipulate coherently condensed matter systems at the single fermion level.
Sylvie Jacquemot from the Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation des Lasers Intenses has been elected new coordinator of Laserlab-Europe. This consortium coordinates new developments in laser research on a European scale.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, a team led by researchers at Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation des Lasers Intenses (Luli) have paved the way to unravelling the mystery as to why many supernova remnants that we observe from Earth are axisymmetric (elongated along one axis) rather than spherical.
Researchers at the Plasma Physics Laboratory have proposed a model for the transport of electrons in plasmas used in satellite thrusters. Their work made the cover of the journal Physics of plasmas in June 2020.
The European Louis Bachelier Prize is awarded this year to Mathieu Rosenbaum, professor at the Centre for Applied Mathematics at the École Polytechnique. This prize recognises major contributions to mathematical modelling in finance and financial risk control.
An international collaboration has shown that the very high-energy gamma-ray emission from quasars, galaxies with a highly energetic nucleus, is not concentrated in the region close to their central black hole but in fact extends over several thousand light-years along jets of plasma. This discovery. This work is published in the journal Nature.
Researchers at the Laboratoire pour l’utilisation des lasers intenses have evidenced magnetic fields generated by “Weibel” instabilities developing over surprisingly large distances in a laser-irradiated plasma. This phenomenon, interpreted with the help of CEA researchers, could explain gamma bursts and cosmic rays in astrophysics.
An international collaboration to which Marc Graille's team, CNRS Research Director at the Laboratory of Structural Biology of the Cell, is contributing has identified an important enzyme that acts on the ribosome and allows normal development of the animal brain and normal walking in Drosophila.
"Optimizing the shape of multiphysical systems" and "Understanding decision-making under risk and delay": these themes earned the young doctors Florian Feppon and Tomáš Jagelka the recognition of their peers. Their theses are awarded “best thesis” in applied mathematics and economics respectively.
A consortium of doctors and researchers developed ICUBAM, an application to monitor the availability of intensive care beds in the COVID-19 crisis. ICUBAM was quickly adopted by doctors in intensive care units in the Grand Est and then in 40 French departments.
Developed within the Leprince-Ringuet Laboratory, the PEPITES monitor can measure the parameters of charged particle beams without disturbing them. Designed using technologies used for solar sails, this prototype offers promising prospects for particle physics or proton therapy.
