Our work on hydrodynamic instabilities in active jets is on the cover of PRL this week!
journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...
A dialogue between experiment and theory, where we use light to control active suspensions and show how they can be destabilized by their self-generated flows

Pure Hydrodynamic Instabilities in Active Jets of Puller Microalgae
Using phototaxis to control cell orientation, various instabilities can be induced in jets of motile microalgae.

Happy to share that our work on active phase separation by photophobic microalgae is now published in PRL!
journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...
When surrounded by multiple light sources, cells hide behind each other, leading to the quick formation of a macroscopic branching pattern.

#CNRSnews 📰 Energy transition is a myth, based on the misconception that energy sources were replaced by “cleaner” alternatives over the past 200 years. Carbon emissions have actually increased, hence the need for better informed strategies to fight global warming

The myth of energy transition
The concept of an “energy transition” is misleading, states the CNRS science historian Jean-Baptiste Fressoz. He explains why coal and oil never replaced wood, and that the fight against climate chang...

We are living the hottest June on record after infamous June 2003 🔥
At high elevation, consequences of lack of freezing are obvious: a lake has formed on the glacier at Punta Helbronner (~3300 m)
Crazy... not the first time, but it's a sign of how hot it gets at high altitude!

The school of physics was founded in 1951 by Cécile DeWitt-Morette, a French physicist then postdoc in the US.
This picture of the Mer de Glace, which is displayed in the school, was taken two years before; since then it has lost ~2,5km in length and 200m in thickness.
