Du teint de porcelaine à l'addiction solaire

Les objets électroniques ont très largement transformé nos sociétés modernes. Ils ont permis le développement d’infrastructures toujours plus complexes et connectées, promesses d’une transition

La carbochimie, ou comment faire des produits chimiques (méthanol, acétylène,...) à partir du bois du Morvan (vidéo Bernard Cougnot, durée 31 mn)

Nicolas Baldovini, chercheur à l’Institut de Chimie de Nice, parle de ses travaux autour de la chimie des odeurs et de l’olfaction, et entre en discussion avec Suzel Balez, membre du laboratoire

The history of computing tells us that computers can be made of almost anything: silicon, gears and levers, neurons, flowing water, interacting particles or even light. Although lithographically

The co-evolution of parasites and hosts has shaped the immune system. One such ‘arms race’ is between parasitic nematodes and their molluscan hosts. One such species (Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita)

To construct their skeletons, all metazoans secrete a complex array of macromolecules that are supposed to display key-functions in biomineralization, such as crystal nucleation and crystal growth

Calcium carbonate is paired up with shell matrix proteins in the suited organo-mineral outer shell in molluscs. Advanced knowledge in the shell proteome is achieved with the development of

Brown Ring disease is caused by Vibrio tapetis, which, by adhering to newly secreted shell matrices, interferes with the biomineralization process. Colonization and alteration of the matrices induce

Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for bone resorption in steady state and bone destruction in chronic inflammatory diseases and osteoporosis.  Up to recently, they have been considered only as

Modern 3D imaging methods in biomineralization – such as X-ray tomography and dual-beam electron tomography – produce datasets that are rich in fine detail and enormous in size, often containing
