PRESS RELEASE | INSTITUTIONAL PUBLICATIONS
On July 1, 2016, Michel Bédoucha was appointed Director of the CEA Saclay Center. He takes over from Annie Rivoallan, acting Director since May 1, 2016 when Jacques Vayron stood down to take up new duties elsewhere.
PRESS RELEASE | MATERIALS | THEORETICAL PHYSICS | MATTER ＆ THE UNIVERSE
Are glasses "real" solids or hyperviscous liquids? A scientific partnership has just settled this long-standing controversy.
PRESS RELEASE | ENVIRONMENT | CLIMATE | GREENHOUSE EFFECT
Last month, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) as measured at Amsterdam Island (southern Indian Ocean), for the first time exceeded the symbolic value of 400 ppm[1], or 0.04 %, for the first time.
PRESS RELEASE | MATTER ＆ THE UNIVERSE | ASTROPHYSICS | STARS
The extreme physical phenomena observed in two-star systems, qualified as "magnetic cataclysmic variables", have been successfully reproduced in a laboratory by an international project team.
PRESS RELEASE | VIRUS | IMMUNE SYSTEM | DNA | HEALTH ＆ LIFE SCIENCES
For the first time, the assembly of a key complex of the measles virus, called nucleocapsid, has just been described in vitro.
PRESS RELEASE | SCIENTIFIC RESULT | SYNCHROTRON
The noble gases, such as xenon, are the most inert atomic group, but CEA scientists managed to synthesise, with xenon and oxygene, two oxides under high pressure. It could help to resolve the so-called “missing xenon paradox”.
PRESS RELEASE | SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS | SCIENTIFIC RESULT | BACTERIA | ANTIBIOTICS
Researchers from CEA, CNRS, Aix-Marseille Université and INRA, in France have discovered a unique system of acquisition of essential metals in the pathogenic bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It represents a new potential target for the design of antibiotics. These results are being published in the journal Science on Friday the 27th of May 2016.
PRESS RELEASE | INSTITUTIONAL | HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING | TECHNOLOGIES | COMPUTING
The CEA (Atomic Energy Commission) and Intel are boosting their collaboration through a new R & D agreement signed in Paris on Thursday 12 May.
PRESS RELEASE | BRAIN | MATHEMATICS | MRI
Two researches from a joint CEA-Inserm-Université Paris Sud-Collège de France unit at the NeuroSpin neuroimaging centre, have just revealed that the brain has a network of brain regions involved in advanced mathematics, as well as simpler arithmetic operations.
NEWS | NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, has acquired a TEM (transmission electron microscope) holder, making it possible to observe nanoparticles in liquid at ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure.
