Skyrmions : Nanoscale sources of magnetic waves

Physicists from the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), along with their colleagues in France, have uncovered a new method to generate spin waves using nanoscale particles known as skyrmions within a ferromagnetic material. Their findings, recently published in …

Forecasting extreme events using partial information from a spatiotemporally chaotic microlaser

Extreme events are rare and intense phenomena found in a variety of situations occurring in hydrodynamics (oceanic rogue waves), earth sciences (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods), finance (market crashes, bubbles), biology (epileptic seizures) and social sciences (crime waves, mass migrations). …

ERC Advanced Grants 2022 : Delphine Marris-Morini, Laureate for the ELECTROPHOT project

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy is a nearly universal way to identify chemical and biological substances and to perform non-invasive diagnostics. More specifically, the 6-15 μm wavelength range can be exploited to detect small traces of environmentally hazardous and toxic substances …
