The properties of materials are the basis of many applications; explaining them is also sometimes still a challenge for researchers. The most familiar physical property is the ability of a material to (...)

While energy consumption becomes a major challenge, achieving efficient light source become of utmost interest. This is not only true in the visible spectral range but also in the infrared. Currently (...)

From November 15 to 17, 2021, the international conference organized by INanoTheRad* : "Advanced Strategies for Radiotherapy: from the lab bench to medical application" brought together students and (...)

As sodium (Na) is more abundant and therefore less expensive than lithium, the Na-ion batteries are expected to be an alternative to the Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in energy storage systems. However, the (...)

Luminescent materials that continue to emit light after being illuminated find applications in our daily life, especially in lighting devices. For this type of application, two-dimensional (2D) (...)

Molecular electronics enables the development of breakthrough applications for photovoltaic panels, lighting, displays, sensors, flexible electronics, etc. It aims to offer an alternative to (...)

In the summer of 2021, a few milligrams of dust grains collected on the asteroid Ryugu more than 340 million kilometers from Earth, as part of the Japanese space mission Hayabusa-2, could be analyzed (...)

Cells communicate with their environment via receptors on their surface. When a signal-protein approaches these receptors, they can pass along a message to the inside of the cell, for example the (...)

In France, each year, breast cancer represents one third of new cancer cases in women. The incidence of this cancer is increasing, but fortunately with a decreasing mortality rate. Despite this (...)

On August 25, 2021, the synchrotron was restarted after the summer shutdown with a storage ring containing a new magnetic element made entirely of permanent magnets, the Superbend. Producing a (...)

In the current race to design fast, dense and energy-efficient information storage devices, spintronics (electronics that exploit the spin property of electrons) are on the lookout for ever smaller (...)

For several years, interdisciplinary research on weaponry has been carried out in order to question the place of weapons in ancient societies through the study of materials. Physicochemical analysis (...)
