Maxime Grangereau, alumnus of the X2012 Class and PhD student at École Polytechnique in collaboration with EDF, is recipient of the prestigious 2020 Siebel Scholars award. This international program founded by the Siebel Foundation rewards the most talented students in the fields of Computer Science, Bioengineering, Business and Energy.
Gérard Mourou, professor at École Polytechnique and winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics, has officially been admitted as a Foreign Member into the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Researcher at the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films, Tatiana Novikova is the winner of the G.G. Stokes Award from the international society of optics and photonics SPIE. This prize rewards her research in optics, in particular the study of the propagation of polarized light through the atmosphere and biological tissues.
On December 17, 2019, the first Biomedical Engineering Symposium brought together researchers from the Plateau de Saclay and medical doctors from several hospitals to discuss their research themes in order to improve patient treatment. Three new projects funded by the Bettencourt-Schueller Foundation were also announced.
First results published in Nature for the Parker Solar Probe which involve the Laboratory of Plasma Physics. By exploring the solar corona, his instruments reveal the tumults that wave the solar wind and thus help to understand it better.
The Carrefour Next Gen RetAIL Chair launches the 2nd edition of its students challenge on the issues related to digital transformation of an industrial group: "Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Challenge". This Hackathon will take place from February 3rd to March 7th, 2020.
An X researcher is involved in producing the first electron guide in graphene. As an optical fiber, it preserving their quantum character. This new electronic optics tool could be integrated with future quantum technologies and is published in Physical Review Letters the November 22, 2019.
The giant telescope of the H.E.S.S. has detected for the first time the very high energy gamma rays emitted by an astronomical cataclysm. Involving researchers from the Leprince-Ringuet Laboratory for Particle Physics and Astrophysics, this discovery is published in Nature on November 20, 2019.
École polytechnique announced the launch of TrauMatrix, a scientific and medical research partnership aimed at developing the first decision support tools for the management of patients suffering from major trauma.
On November 3, 2019, for the first time in satellite history, an iodine propelled spacecraft has been launched into space. This new propulsion solution has been made possible thanks to the startup ThrustMe from the Laboratory of Plasma Physics.
Yves Laszlo has been appointed Provost of École Polytechnique and takes on the role previously held by Frank Pacard. Yves Laszlo is also appointed Chairman of the Academic and Research Committee of Institut Polytechnique de Paris.
Professor at the Collège de France and Director of the Flatiron Institute's Centre de physique quantique numérique, Antoine Georges (class X 1980) is also a professor at the École Polytechnique.
In 2015, 28-year-old Nicolas Plain (X2011) founded the association "En l'Air pour la Terre" (Fly for the Earth), to raise awareness among different actors and leaders in the field by flying them over the Alps, one of the regions most affected by global warming, in a two-seater paraglider which is also a veritable flying science laboratory.
A new scientific study, cosigned by three researchers from École normale supérieure - PSL (France), Caltech (United States) and École Polytechnique (France), could teach us a lot about the most devastating earthquakes. Their article, published in Nature Magazine, finds that so-called "slow slip" or "silent" earthquakes observed in Cascadia in the northwest region of the United States behave more similarly to regular earthquakes than previously thought.
On November 21 and 22, the Dynamic Meteorology Laboratory, the Energy4Climate program and École Polytechnique Executive Education organize a workshop on climate change and energy transition on the Mediterranean.
