Every July, the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides gathers for its annual Lab Party – a cherished occasion bringing together the entire LPS community, including scientists, engineers, technical and administrative …
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, …
Mathieu Kociak, CNRS research director at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS / Université Paris-Saclay), has been awarded a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant 2024 from the European Research Council. …
Cuprates, copper-based oxides, are renowned for their high-temperature superconducting properties. Doping—the process of introducing foreign atoms (dopants) into the material’s structure—modulates their electronic properties and promotes superconductivity by altering the …
We are delighted to welcome Masters level students (ArTeQ) to discover superconducting quantum qubits in a brand new hands-on assignment. This lab, supported by Quantum Saclay (QuanTEdu-France program), was developed …
Les nanocristaux se sont massivement imposés comme une solution polyvalente pour la fabrication d’une nouvelle génération de dispositifs opto-électroniques comme les LEDs ou les cellules photovoltaïques. Des travaux récents suggèrent …
Researchers have observed the deformation and rupture of an electronic modulation present in certain crystals when subjected to an electric current, using an intense and coherent X-ray beam generated by …
Researchers from the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (Université Paris-Saclay/CNRS) and the Laboratoire Lumière, Matière et Interface (Université Paris-Saclay/ENS Paris-Saclay/CNRS/Centrale Supélec) have developed an experimental method to visualize in real …
Researchers at the Solid State Physics Laboratory (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) and their collaborators have developed a new light source: two-dimensional quantum dots created in monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides. The field …
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 …
