Optimal thermal activation and barrier crossing
In physics, chemistry or biology, reaction rates are very often limited by energy barriers that have to be overcome by thermal activation. Researchers from LPS, LPTMS (CNRS/U. Paris Saclay) and …

RNA viruses are a family of infectious agents with sometimes dramatic health and economic consequences such as those we are currently experiencing. Over the course of a life cycle, viral …
Clays are lamellar minerals ubiquitous on the earth’s surface. Researchers at IC2MP, LPS and ICMN have shown that the preferred orientation of clays in a wide variety of natural environments …
A major challenge in the study of high temperature superconductivity in copper oxide materials is to understand their macroscopic quantum behavior in terms of microscopic mechanisms. Using the electric field …
Direct observation of topological properties of materials is now possible in experiments on mesoscopic samples, including measurement of “winding numbers” — which were until now considered rather abstract properties of …
