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 …
Low-carbon hydrogen is one of the avenues being explored as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Several techniques are being explored for producing hydrogen. One of these is photocatalysis, which …
Cyrille successfully defended his accredidation to supervize research (HDR) on September, 7th 2023.
The configuration and geometry of chemical reactors underpin the accuracy of performance evaluation for photocatalytic materials. Researchers have developed a novel automated photoreactor for H2 production. A photonic profile methodology …
pentagonal cross-section, researchers have reproduced theoretically predicted tilings and determined the mechanisms that allow the transition from one structure to another. The tiling of a plane by regular pentagons has …
After a commissioning period, the benchtop SAXS-Cu apparatus of the MORPHEUS platform is now operational and ready for new adventures. This experimental setup includes: All the informations can be found …
Material design is one of the major driving forces to enhance the intrinsic light harvesting ability of a photocatalyst. Herein, the design of black TiO2−x/CuxO with chiral-like structures where Pt …
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 …
Researchers have synthesized crystals of elongated gold bipyramids and have described their optimal packing in three-dimensional assemblies. This result, at the crossroads of chemistry and geometry, offers prospects for the …
