This year, the CNRS awards 4 "Talents" medals for researchers, engineers and technicians in our laboratories: Silver medal for Silke Biermann, Bronze medal for Nathanaelle Schneider, Crystal medal for Dimitri Edouart and Collective Crystal for the technical team of the Apollo Research Infrastructure.
The French National Research Agency has selected Pierre Boyer's TAXREV project for its "Young Researchers" 2020 program. By analyzing “Tax reforms and revolts in democracies”, his objective is to analyze the tensions between economically optimal and politically feasible tax systems.
The European Research Council has selected 2 ambitious "ERC Synergy" projects involving researchers from Polytechnique laboratories: AWACA, which aims to rebuild and predict the water cycle in Antarctica by combining modelling and measurements, and HOPE, which will seek to understand the formation of the hippocampus in the brain.
Collagen is omnipresent in biological tissues. Using a new method involving circular polarizations, researchers at the Laboratory for Optics and Biosciences have improved current imaging techniques to better detect fibrils out of the plane of observation, thus revealing the three-dimensional distribution of collagen.
The École polytechnique, Thales Alenia Space and ArianeGroup inaugurated this Tuesday, October 13 the « Espace: Sciences et Défis du Spatial » sponsorship. Together, they promote academic activities in the space field at École polytechnique and support the projects of the Student Space Center.
Jean-Eric Wegrowe of the Laboratoire des Solides irradiés contributes to an international research team which has just experimentally demonstrated the nutation of magnetization. Their work was published in Nature Physics on September 28, 2020.
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.
