On March 28, 2023, École Polytechnique is organising a symposium to which researchers, students and leaders of the EuroTech universities are invited to discuss their institutions’ initiatives and a common action plan to accelerate the shift towards sustainability, for a strong, sustainable…

Michel Bastide, CEO of the start-up Synaplus worked in transformation through IT (or by IT) for over 30 years before joining Synaplus in 2018 specializing in artificial intelligence technology. He shares his entrepreneurial experience, challenges, goals and ambitions.

Nanomaterials are much talked-about, but the methods for making them are still the subject of fundamental research, especially when high temperatures are required. At the Laboratory of Condensed Matter for Physics, a research team is exploring new ways of synthesizing them, using molten salts and l…

In a research paper published in Nucleic Acids Research, an international collaboration involving the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory shows the presence of nucleic acid knots called G-quadruplexes in helminth parasites. The researchers also identify molecules that can bind to these structures.

The SPIE G. G. Stokes Award in Optical Polarization is presented for exceptional contribution to the field of optical polarization. This year, the winner is Tatiana Novikova, researcher at the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films* in which she heads the research group of Applied optic…

The design of redistributive tax policies is a recurring topic in public discourse. Who to tax, who to support? Economic theories on optimal taxation have been established, notably thanks to the contribution of the 1996 Nobel Prize winner in economics James Mirrlees. However, these theories do not …

In 2012, a new elementary particle was discovered thanks to a worldwide scientific collaboration that included Leprince-Ringuet laboratory and Center for Microelectronics. Here is a look back at this crucial step that opened up new perspectives for particle physics research.

Using high-intensity lasers, an international team involving researchers from the Applied Optics Laboratory (LOA*) and the Intense Lasers Laboratory (LULI*) will probe the behavior of light at an unprecedented level, at the limits of current quantum electrodynamics theory. The project has just been…
