A biocompatible microfluidic artificial lung that « breathes »
End-stage lung diseases may result in death either by oxygenation and carbon dioxide exchange insufficency or by right heart failure. The macroscopic blood oxygenator ECMO (ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a therapeutic option, currently used in …

Vibrational Resonance Amplification in a Thermo-Optic Optomechanical Nanocavity
The enhancement mechanism of a weak (undetectable) signal, known as vibrational resonance, is activated by modulating an input field at high frequency and submitting it to a bistable system. Such general and wide spread concept has …

CNRS Images Report - The sculptors of the nanoworld
To sculpt matter at the nanometre scale, where every speck of dust or tiny vibration can compromise their work, physicists need laboratories protected from any disturbances. This report from the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology shows how scientists use …

Electrical and ion beam analyses of yttrium and yttrium-titanium getter thin films oxidation
Yttrium, titanium, and yttrium-titanium getter thin films were elaborated on silicon by coevaporation in ultrahigh vacuum. Y-Ti films exhibit nanometric crystallites size (18–35 nm) leading to a very high grain boundary density, which is a favorable microstructure for activation …
