Certify the properties of N-body quantum states
A new theoretical approach to the N-body quantum problem has been developed, providing, for the first time, a rigorous estimate of the errors made by approximate solutions calculated through numerical simulations using traditional methods.
Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell level
Numerical simulations reveal that long-range interaction between objects in an ionic fluid, via electromagnetic field fluctuations, plays an important role for filamentary objects, with implications for our understanding of the self-organization of cellular structures.
Passing of Dominique Delande
It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Dominique Delande on 3 October. Dominique faced his long illness with courage and serenity for many years.
The final results of the MICROSCOPE mission reach record precision
The MICROSCOPE mission has just confirmed the principle of equivalence with a record precision of a few 10-15.
A surprisingly large Casimir force at biophysical interfaces
The force becomes universal in the sense that it no longer depends on the dielectric functions but only on the geometric parameters
Jean-Michel Courty, one of the recipients of the first CNRS Medal for Scientific Mediation
Depuis plus de 20 ans, Jean-Michel Courty donne à voir la physique dans ce qu’elle a de plus accessible à travers une activité intense en médiation scientifique et en communication.
Maria Skłodowska and Pierre Curie prize reward Dominique Delande and Jakub Zakrzewski
Jakub Zakrzewski and Dominique Delande began their scientific cooperation in 1991.
First results of the MICROSCOPE satellite confirm the validity of the equivalence principle at an unprecedented precision
This is a new confirmation of general relativity, the theory proposed one century ago by Albert Einstein which has been verified recently by the first direct detection of gravitational waves.
The Microscope Satellite and the Equivalence Principle
The CNES Microscope satellite was launched on Monday, April 25. Its goal is to test the equivalence principle.
Astrid Lambrecht, Winner of the 2016 Gentner-Kastler Prize
The German Physical Society (DPG) and the French Physical Society congratulate Astrid Lambrecht, the recipient of the 2016 Gentner-Kastler Prize.
