No need to strike while the iron is… small!
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 …
Discover an article published in Techniques de l’Ingénieur by researchers from Laboratoire de Physique des Solides and get ready to dive into an educational exploration of Pulsed Field Gradient Nuclear …
Researchers from the Adolphe Merkle Institute (AMI) in collaboration with the Theory group of the LPS have succeeded in creating large-area, energy-converting block-copolymer membranes that mimic the function of biological …
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 …
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, …
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 …
In collaboration with researchers from the Institut de Biologie Intégrative de la Cellule, the SOLEIL synchrotron and the University of California, Riverside, a team from the Laboratoire de Physique des …
