A promising electrocatalyst based on a geo-inspired nanotube
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 …
François Boulogne awarded Ivan Peychès Prize from the French Academy of Sciences
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 …
Shaping Light with Reconfigurable Chiral Nanofluids
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, …
Reducing Foam Friction Using Slippery Surfaces
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 …
Chunxiao Liu joins the LPS as a permanent CNRS researcher in condensed matter theory
We are very pleased to welcome Chunxiao Liu to the LPS team as a CNRS researcher, joining the theory group as a permanent member. Originally from China, he completed his …
Towards light-controlled electronic components
An international team led by CNRS researchers, including members of the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay), has revealed a remarkable phenomenon: the creation and disappearance of an electron …
Organic molecules for quantum detection
A Franco-British research team has developed a luminous organic molecule capable of revealing its quantum spin state by a simple change of colour, a result that opens up a new …
Why do some foams hold up better than others? An answer from space!
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 …
