Two young researchers from the STEM group, Nadezda Varkentina (former postdoc) and Yves Auad (Ph.D) have received the 2022 Outstanding Paper Award from the European Microscopy Society in the Instrumentation …
Unlike squares, triangles, or hexagons, pentagons cannot completely tile the plane. Using silver nanoprisms with a pentagonal cross-section, researchers have reproduced theoretically predicted tilings and determined the mechanisms that allow …
Foams are unstable jammed materials whose growth mechanisms remain poorly understood. A recent study has demonstrated a dominant effect of the viscoelasticity of the continuous phase on the cellular structure …
Rectification of an optical signal using an all-metallic electronic device is of fundamental and technological importance for nano-optics. Researchers probed experimentally the microscopic mechanism at the origin of the optical …
Researchers have studied the dynamics of particles contained in a droplet when it evaporates on a fiber. The deposit resulting from the drying on a fiber differs remarkably from the …
Evaporation is known to cause cooling, much like perspiration. Physicists have measured the temperature of soap films to show that they can be up to 8°C cooler than the temperature …
A team of researchers from the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS) has demonstrated that in all-metallic Josephson field effect transistors, the statistics of electron flow due to the gate …
Julien Bobroff is one of the four recipients of the Medals for Scientific Mediation 2022. The medal will be awarded to him on Friday, November 18 in the presence of …
The new edition of the photo contest La preuve par l’image, organized by the CNRS with Acfas, its Quebec partner, has delivered its winners. Among the 20 preselected photos, two …
Determining the intrinsic lifetime of states inside the superconducting gap generated by magnetic impurities (YSR states) is crucial for a better understanding of their properties and applications in quantum engineering. …
