Microalgae for CO2 capture
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 …
Evidence of a universal magnetic order, precursor of the superconducting phase in BaFe2X3 (X=S, Se) spin ladders
The understanding of the mechanism underlying the so-called unconventional high temperature superconductivity is one of the most difficult scientific challenges. Today, the most consensual approach suggests that the pairing of …
Emilie Du Châtelet award presentation to Marcelo Rozenberg
On June 9, the French Physical Society awarded the 2018 Emilie Du Châtelet Prize to Marcelo Rozenberg, CNRS research director at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, in the presence …
Frank Smallenburg, recipient of the CNRS Bronze Medal 2022
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 …
Spin in all its orientations
To develop applications of new materials, it is important to know the energy of electrons as a function not only of their momentum but also for all possible orientations of …
PhD defense of Marina Pasquet
Marina Pasquet will defend her PhD thesis on Thursday, January 27 at 2:00 pm in Blandin amphitheater of Laboratoire de Physique des Solides. It will be held in French. Her …
Novel Electronic States of Matter
Both experimental and theoretical studies are concerned with quantum and strongly interacting systems. Coupling lattice, spin, charge and orbital interactions leads to unique properties of new materials, which are regularly …
Physical phenomena in Reduced Dimensions
This axis deals with “nanoscience” considered in a broad sense. Phenomena are studied from the point of view of fundamental properties when the dimensions of an object become as small …
Soft Matter and physics-biology interface
These research fields lie at the border between physical chemistry and biology where the large number of interactions give rise to cooperative phenomena and complex macroscopic behaviour (liquid crystals, surfactants, …
