For a few years now, multimode optical fibers have been the focus of renewed interest from researchers and industry. Indeed, "single-mode" fibers, in which light can only follow one path, seem to have reached a performance plateau.
To study multimode optical fibers (MMF), researchers from the

Protein engineering offers huge potential rewards, but is a slow and arduous process. Tiny molecular machines could massively speed up the rate at which novel and improved variants can be found.
The CORDIS platform on european funded researched recently highlighted the work of Yannick Rondelez
Mathias Fink and Mickael Tanter have been nominated amongst the european inventor award finalists by the European Patent Office.
A few years ago, they invented a new tool for medical imaging : shear waves elastography, combined with ultrasound imaging to measure the stiffness of biological
