In the famous Star Wars film released in 1977, a scene shows Luke Skywalker learning the art of Jedi combat from his mentor Obiwan Kenobi. Using his lightsaber, he must block the shots of a probe that is flying around him. At the end, Obiwan places a helmet on his padawan's head, making him bli…

An ecological packagingLéon Rembotte and Thomas Metzger won 3rd prize for tackling an issue related to waste generated by food packaging, which is mostly made from non-biodegradable products from the petrochemical industry. The two students looked in particular for an alternative to the packaging u…

Biomass (organic matter of plant origin) is a tremendous resource - often renewable - for developing alternatives to the fossil fuels from which chemistry is largely derived. Solutions for transforming it into useful molecular building blocks for fine chemicals - and energy - are among the prioriti…
