For a few years now, multimode optical fibers have been the focus of renewed interest from researchers and industry. Indeed, "single-mode" fibers, in which light can only follow one path, seem to have reached a performance plateau.
To study multimode optical fibers (MMF), researchers from the

Future of robotics will undoubtedly involve the development of new models: "soft" robots capable of deforming themselves to perform complex tasks. What is the interest? Handling objects without damaging the objects that the robot interact with (e.g.? food!).
To achieve this, the SHERO 
A scientific symposium on the legacy of Pierre-Gilles de Gennes will be held in Paris on 23 and 24 November. Nobel Prize in Physics in 1991, director of the ESPCI Paris - PSL for almost 25 years, he was a versatile and passionate scientist who was also very involved in science education, 
The American Physical Society (APS) has just awarded the "Fluid Dynamics" prize to David Quéré, a CNRS physicist at the PMMH laboratory at the school. We met with him in the middle of the summer to discuss his original approach, which was praised by the APS.

Protein engineering offers huge potential rewards, but is a slow and arduous process. Tiny molecular machines could massively speed up the rate at which novel and improved variants can be found.
