Following the elections held in 2025, the French Academy of Sciences has elected 18 new members. Among them is physicist Odile Stephan, a specialist in electron microscopy and spectroscopy. Odile …
Researchers have explained the mechanism by which identical proteins manage to organise themselves and form the perfectly symmetrical capsids of most viruses Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses represent the largest and …
The Laboratoire de Physique des Solides is pleased to welcome Florian Castioni, new CNRS researcher in the Electron Microscopy (STEM) group. Originally from the Var region, Florian completed all of …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
