A team of researchers, including scientists from the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay), has now identified a key factor controlling this process. The researchers studied silver nanorods—tiny rod-shaped …
The Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS) warmly congratulates Stephan ROUZIERE, Associate Professor at Université Paris-Saclay and researcher at LPS, for winning the Tremplin@Physique 2026 call for projects. The Tremplin@Physique …
The LPS 2025 Highlights booklet is now online. It presents the main scientific achievements, distinctions, and key moments that shaped the life of the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides throughout …
👏We congratulate Victor Balédent, associate professor at the University of Paris-Saclay and researcher at the Laboratory of Solid-State Physics within the MATRIX team, for being awarded by the IUF on …
The discovery of new, cost-effective materials free of precious metals, while maintaining high catalytic performance, is of great interest for the electrochemical dissociation of water. A consortium led by researchers …
Physicists at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have developed a new method to dynamically control the circular polarization of light by self-assembling chiral metallic nanoparticles. This result, …
CNRS scientists have studied the evolution of the shape of gold nano-tetrapods and have revealed a two-stage kinetics: the four arms – initially pointed – quickly become blunt, before beginning …
Researchers at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides have studied the self-assembly of liquid-crystal particles inside a droplet when the latter evaporates within an acoustic levitator. The resulting structures formed …
Multiferroic compounds are widely studied for their magnetoelectric coupling, enabling polarization, for example, to be manipulated using a magnetic field. A new electronic state has just been discovered in the …
