L’AGENDA CHIMIE PARISTECH - PSL

Pr Arvind Murugan from University of Chicago at CBI for a chaire Joliot. He will present his work below, Wednesday 18th of June at 11h, amphi CHARPAK: Evolution of error-correction through a need for speed.    Physicists have long seen life as a non-equilibrium process that fights the 2nd law of thermodynamics by maintaining order.  While…

We are pleased to welcome David Weitz (Harvard University) as a Joliot Chair who will give a seminar on Wednesday 18th at 2pm at amphi Charpak. The title of his talk is «  New structures for lipid-based drug delivery ».

Phonon mediated superconductivity in complex oxides, By Julien Varignon, Laboratoire CRISMAT, CNRS UMR 6508, ENSICAEN, Caen.  Several oxides deriving from a Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase with the chemical formula An+1BnO3n+1 such as bismuthates BaBiO3 and antimonates BaSbO3 (n=∞), infinite layered nickelates R1-xAxNiO2 (n=∞, R=La, Pr or Nd, A=Ca or Sr) and Nd6Ni5O12 (n=5), obtained after a chemical…

Co-assembly of functionally active membrane proteins in mesostructured silica, Brad Chmelka, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara. Thursday June 26 at 2 pm in Amphi Charpak, ESPCI Paris-PSL.  The physicochemical properties of membrane proteins, such as for ion transport, selective catalysis, or biosensing, are desirable for technological applications, although they are challenging to harness in synthetic abiotic…
