(Nano)materials by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) Jutta Rieger Sorbonne Université & CNRS, UMR 8232, Institut Parisien de Chimie Moléculaire (IPCM), Polymer Chemistry Team, Paris, France Zoom link : https://espci.zoom.us/j/96483118269?pwd=OUZzY0VhZWY2MG5ZQXdvaURHVDMrZz09 Contact : jutta.rieger@sorbonne-université.fr Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) combines the controlled synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers with their in situ self-assembly into self-stabilized nanoparticles.(1) Initially developed to synthesize colloidal…

Chromium ditelluride: A van der Waals ferromagnet up to room temperature, down to the 2D limit?   By Johann Coraux Institut Néel, CNRS & Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France     In 2017, two seminal papers reported ferromagnetism in two distinct two-dimensional (2D) materials — crystals only a few-atom thick, which interact with their surroundings via van…

Integrating Experiment and Theory for Accelerated Discovery Dr Liam Wilbraham University of Glasgow   Friday 26th march 14h-15h   Teams link : https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MmM4YTQxY2YtNTExOC00NTZkLWJmZTUtYzI4MTUyZDlhMzhj%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%224f8fd695-b3b5-4082-8005-610e9453e6d0%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22b8d4a137-adc2-455f-82a0-a554b3ddc976%22%7d   Abstract The discovery of functional organic molecules and materials is an expensive and time-consuming process. With the convergence of modern computer hardware and sophisticated molecular modelling, computer-accelerated design is a powerful…

Getting Published in 2021 and Beyond: How to Adapt to a Rapidly Changing Publication Landscape   Ruben Raag, Editor-in-Chief of ChemBioChem   Let’s face it, the publishing landscape has changed rapidly over the past years. From print-only to online access, and now to a world where basically +90% of the papers are found either through…

Emergence by infinite symmetry, application to the Nernst effect   By Carlo Trugenberger  SwissScientific Technologies, Geneva, Switzerland   After a generic review of the dynamical symmetry approach to many-body quantum states, I will focus on infinite-dimensional symmetries of quantum Hall states, 2D superconductors and superinsulators. The infinite number of constraints accounts for the robustness of these…

Solid friction: heterogeneities and rupture arrest What happens at the interface between two solid bodies in contact when they start sliding? This problem has important implications to various fields such as engineering, where the challenge is to control friction, or earthquake dynamics, where prediction of earthquakes occurrence and magnitude is crucial. Experimentally, the transition from…

Jeudi 29 Avril 2021 à 11h, Arnab Pal (Tel Aviv University) nous parlera de « Uncertainty relation for enzymes, resetting systems, and other processes with irreversible transitions ».   The thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) shows that the fluctuations of currents are bounded from below by the inverse entropy production. When one or more transitions are…

 La 24ème Journée de Chimie Organique et Chimie Organique Biologique de la Montagne-Ste-Geneviève   se tiendra en mode hybride à l’Institut Curie (11 rue Pierre et Marie Curie, 75005 Paris, Amphithéâtre Hélène Martel-Massignac) et par visioconférence le 11 juin 2021.  Cette journée scientifique destinée aux jeunes chercheurs a pour but de leur permettre d’exposer leurs travaux…
