The Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS) is pleased to welcome Théo LENAVETIER as a lecturer within the Soft Matter at Interfaces (MMOI) team. Originally from the Manche region in …
Physicists have shown that adding liquid droplets to a soft solid allows for precise control of its energy dissipation, revealing a hybrid behavior between a gel and an emulsion. Hybrid …
Physicists at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS / Université Paris-Saclay) have developed a method to measure the thickness of thin liquid films down to just a few nanometers. …
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 …
This year, François Boulogne, CNRS researcher at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS – Université Paris-Saclay), received one of the annual prizes of the French Academy of Sciences. This …
Physicists at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have developed innovative textured surfaces capable of reducing foam friction without the need for any external lubricating agent. Unlike conventional …
In a long-term study carried out on the International Space Station (ISS), researchers were able to study precisely the physico-chemical factors influencing the long-term stability of foams by avoiding gravity-induced …
The Solid State Physics Laboratory (LPS) (Paris-Saclay University and CNRS) was pleased to welcome participants of the 2025 International Physics Olympiad, held this year in Paris. #IPhO2025 Delegations from Cuba, …
Researchers from the Adolphe Merkle Institute (AMI) in collaboration with the Theory group of the LPS have succeeded in creating large-area, energy-converting block-copolymer membranes that mimic the function of biological …
The physicists from the Laboratory of Solid State Physics (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have demonstrated that quasi-crystals, the ordered aperiodic structures, are not confined to the atomic or microscopic domain but can …
