Madeleine Kubasch receives the L'Oréal-Unesco Young Talents prize for women in science for her doctoral work on mathematical models of epidemic propagation at the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMAP*) and INRAE's Mathematics and Informatics Applied from the Genome to the Environment (MaIAGE) unit.

In many astrophysical processes such as solar flares, particle acceleration is likely to result from the reconnection of different magnetic field lines. In a paper published in Nature Communications, a team including researchers from the Intense Laser Laboratory and the Plasma Physics Laboratory sh…

Manas Upadhyay, an Assistant Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique, is awarded the Jean & André Rist Medal 2022 for his work on understanding the microstructure of materials. His research at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory is currently directed towards making metal additive manufacturing more sustain…

Additive manufacturing, or 3D-printing, of metallic alloys is a revolutionary technology that has the unique ability to simultaneously build complex part geometries and create material microstructure without requiring tooling. Additive manufacturing can provide substantial savings in energy, cost,…

Marc Gillmann has been appointed Director of the X-Novation Center at École Polytechnique, effective July 21, 2025. His mission will be to strengthen the success, attractiveness, and influence of the incubator, as well as to enhance support for current and future incubated projects.Graduate enginee…

Marc Rosso has been appointed Head of Entry Examinations at École Polytechnique, effective as of September 1, 2021. He takes on the role previously held by Michel Gonin, now co-director of ILANCE, a new international laboratory for Physics of the “two infinites” in Tokyo.

Waves, whether they are travelling across the surface of the water or sound waves that reach our ears, generally have the property of propagating and filling all the space available to them. However, under certain circumstances a phenomenon called localisation occurs, in which a standing wave becom…

Interview with Margherita Castellano, a doctoral student at the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMAP), who has qualified for the national finals of the science communication competition “My Thesis in 180 Seconds" (MT180*). She is seeking to better understand the role played by small molecules calle…

The conversion and storage of renewable energies has become a crucial societal challenge for containing climate change. The development of these processes relies on innovative science for the development and shaping of materials to increase their efficiency and enable large-scale deployment of rene…
