The introduction of heteroatoms such as nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur or silicon into organic molecules is essential to create high-performance molecules with applications ranging from pharmaceutical molecules to organic materials for electronics. The heteroatom can either be the key element or modi…

 Hi! PARIS is a multidisciplinary center similar to other major research centers created by Institut Polytechnique de Paris and HEC Paris. Why is interdisciplinarity so important for AI and data science?Eric Moulines : AI is much more than algorithms. This is reason for the partnership between…

École Polytechnique was created in 1794, a politically and economically troubled time, but also the culmination of the Enlightenment. Proud of its past, l'X is committed to make the scientific, technological and industrial revolutions of the 21st century possible.

Chinese mathematician Hong Wang (Class of 2010 and recipient of an honorary doctorate from École Polytechnique) has been awarded the 2026 Fields Medal, the highest international honor in mathematics. Honored for her proof of Kakeya's conjecture in three-dimensional space, she became the third woman…

The mission of the housing service is to offer accommodation solutions within the École polytechnique, specially designed for students and staff of the institution. You can count on a dedicated team ready to assist you and make every stage of your stay easier. The accommodation facilities include a…

The way in which the dandelion opens or closes in order to fly has been modelled in a paper in Nature Communications co-authored by researchers from the Hydrodynamics Laboratory at École Polytechnique.

The Structural Biology of the Cell Laboratory (BIOC*), in collaboration with Ifremer in Brest, the CBI in Toulouse, and Institut Pasteur, has identified a molecule in archaea capable of putting the ribosome, a cellular machinery essential to cells, into a state of dormancy. This “hibernation factor…

Six start-ups created or run by X alumni or incubated at École Polytechique are among the winners of the I-Lab 2024 competition, including two in the Grand Prix category. They illustrate the entrepreneurial dynamism of X researchers and graduates, the now well-established multi-curricular nature of…

École polytechnique's team involved in the 44th edition of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) ranked 24th in the world with "High Honors" and ahead of all the teams from South-West Europe. This is the best performance ever recorded by a team from a French higher e…

One of the main challenges of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 epidemic was and still is the availability of intensive care unit (ICU) beds and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). To address these issues, a team of doctors and researchers developed ICUBAM (ICU - Bed Activity…

In France, the cement industry emits 10 million tonnes of CO2 per year. The greenhouse gas comes from the manufacture of cement's active ingredient, clinker. At the Irradiated Solids Laboratory (LSI*), Marie-Noëlle de Noirfontaine and Mireille Courtial are carrying out detailed characterizations of…

Beyond the analysis of samples in liquid or gaseous media, as traditionally approached by metabolomics, we are developing new methodologies in imaging mass spectrometry (IMS). This technique makes it possible to map a large number of molecules in a mixture, using laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)…
