 The conservation state of parchments is typically assessed using invasive and sometimes destructive investigation techniques. Scientists from Université Paris-Saclay, the CNRS, École Polytechnique, and the French Ministry of Culture[1] have developed a non-destructive and non-invasive advanced opt…

Mainly used in numerous industrial sectors such as transport, space, biomedical and defence, additive manufacturing is constantly developing. In order to provide solutions to the problems of developing additive manufacturing within the various industries, twelve CNRS research laboratories and a dep…

An international collaboration involving the Irradiated Solids Laboratory has just published a paper in Physical Review Letters detailing the mechanisms at work for detecting circularly polarised light using spin-optoelectronic devices called spin photodiodes.

In an article published in the journal Science, an international collaboration involving researchers from the Centre for Theoretical Physics (CPHT*) proposes a tool for estimating the difficulty of many problems yet to be solved, as well as the effectiveness of methods developed to tackle them, inc…

While severe accidents are extremely rare in nuclear power plants, it is nonetheless vital to be able to prevent them and, if they do occur, to manage them rigorously to contain their consequences.This is why physicists Mathis Plapp, CNRS research director and Hervé Henry, CNRS researcher, both fro…

Under the supervision of two professors from École Polytechnique and Télécom Paris, Jesus Cumana-Morales, a PhD student from the Czech Technical University, elaborated a scientific project, which has been accepted for publication at the IEEE International MeditCom 2023 Conference. The project had b…
