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 …

From chocolate mousse to shaving foam and insulating foams, foams are ubiquitous in everyday objects. A better understanding of their mechanical behavior opens up a wide range of applications. Liquid …

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 …

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 …

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 …

To achieve carbon neutrality, it is necessary not only to reduce our CO2 emissions, but also to capture atmospheric CO2, namely to realize “negative emissions”. Researchers have conducted a “thought …

The Bronze Medal rewards the first works of researchers who are specialists in their field. This distinction represents an encouragement from the CNRS to pursue research that is already well …
