Pascale Launois, CNRS Research Director at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides d’Orsay, has been awarded the “André Guinier” prize by the Association Française de Cristallographie. Throughout her career, Pascale …
Researchers have developed a new method to introduce controlled disorder intro crystals of anisotropic gold nanoparticles. This result, at the crossroad between chemistry and engineering, offers prospects for the synthesis …
Marina Pasquet was awarded the Prix Claudine Hermann 2023 by the Société Française de Physique for her thesis Stability of soapy objects : wet foams, surface bubbles and giant films. …
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 …
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 …
In collaboration with a researcher from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ukrainian scientist, a professor from the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (Paris-Saclay) has shed light on three-dimensional architecture …
The concept of topological defects plays a unifying role in condensed matter physics. Its birth, 50 years ago, was the result of interactions between specialists in crystalline dislocations, superconducting vortices, …
On the 17th of October, the Académie des Sciences awarded the 2023 Prix d’Aumale to Charis Quay, maîtresse des conférences at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay). Charis …
Liquid crystals are substances with one or more states of matter between the crystalline solid and the usual liquid. These liquid-crystal states are characterized by the specific, microscopic organization of …
Understanding how materials absorb light on the nanometer scale is essential for applications in photonics and quantum optics. By superimposing a laser beam and an electron beam in an electron …
