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.
As Responsible Finance Week draws to a close, coinciding this year with l'X Sustainable Development Week, it is an ideal time to take a look back at the key points raised at the "RefleXions" symposium on 7 June by Jean Tirole, the Nobel Prize winner in economics.
On Tuesday 24 September, École Polytechnique and Ubisoft announced the creation of the "Science and Video Games" education and research chair. The goal is to make video games more realistic and innovative through science, and to use this medium to spread scientific culture.
The application-specific integrated circuit SPACIROC, designed and developed at the École polytechnique OMEGA Laboratory, was launched onboard a Soyuz rocket on August 22. Destination: the International Space Station.
L'X’s Center for Theoretical Physics will benefit from two ERC grants to support its research. Andréa Puhm has been awarded an ERC starting grant and Razvan Gurau an ERC consolidator grant that starts in September.
After receiving four prestigious professors in 2018-2019, The Gaspard Monge Visiting Professor Program will allow five new professors to join École Polytechnique this year.
What will cars be like in the future? This is the focus of the André Citroën chair, created in 2011, renewed in 2016 and extended on Tuesday 10 September 2019.
Dipankar Dar Sarma, J. N. Tata Chair Professor at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, India, is one of the professors invited thanks to the Gaspard Monge Program.
Thanks to an ERC Consolidator Grant, Razvan Gurau, CNRS research scientist at the Center of Theoretical Physics (CPHT), will be able to further his work on random tensors and field theory, an area of theoretical physics that may make it possible to solve equations that are challenging scientists today.
CNRS researcher at École polytechnique’s Center of Theoretical Physics, Andrea Puhm was awarded an ERC Starting Grant that will allow her to put together a research team on “Information Encoding in Quantum Gravity and the Black Hole Information Paradox.”
École polytechnique’s Laboratory for Optics and Biosciences (LOB) participated in a study coordinated by the Institute of Biology Paris-Seine on the discovery of a cellular mechanism essential to embryonic development that has just been published in Nature.
