In a recent work, researchers show that particles entrained in a flow close to a deformable wall undergo a force that moves them slightly away from it, an important result for the general…
By studying laboratory microearthquakes generated in sheared granular stacks, researchers have shown that earthquake physics is universally described if total fault deformation replaces time as the…
Using laser nucleation of microbubbles, physicists have shown that stomata, the miniature 'gates' that regulate light-dependent evaporation in vascular plants, remain inactive in non-vascular plants…
The CNRS 'Fellow-Ambassadors' programme has welcomed nine new prestigious figures from world research to serve the scientific community and help raise the organisation's profile. Among them is…
