Welcome
The IMPMC is particularly notable in its multidisciplinary approach. This means most topics are studied by researchers from different backgrounds—in physics, Earth science or biology.
Experimental platforms, technical know-how and scientific expertise are all used to conduct research on the interactions between the living world (including bacteria) and the mineral world. Issues include those related to the alteration of minerals of the environment, modeling of protein complexes by cryo-electron microscopy or the synthesis of ultra-hard materials under extreme conditions.

PNCS15 (International Conference on the Physics of Non-Crystalline Solids) and ESG14 (European Society of Glass Conference) - 9-13 july 2018 - Saint-Malo
The 15th International Conference on the Physics of Non-Crystalline Solids is the continuation of a series of successfull meetings started by Pr. V.D. Fréchette (USA), in 1958. 13 conferences have been organized subsequently, with the latest one organized bt Pr. Cormack, from Alfred University (USA) in 2015. Continuing the tradition, PNCS XV will provide an international forum for the most recent...

Workshop METEORITES – Understanding the origin of planetodiversity
The striking diversity of planets, satellites, asteroids and comets in our Solar System is the results of 4,5-billion- year complex evolution that calls for elucidation, all the more since it appears as a unique configuration when compared to other planetary systems.The last 10 years, new perspectives on the Solar System formation and evolution have emerged thanks to the development of numerical simulations...

Silvia Boccato - ESRF (Grenoble)
AbstractThe study of the melting and compression of the liquid for the 3d metals has not only a fundamental interest but also geophysical and planetary implications. The core of rocky planets is actually mainly composed of iron alloyed...Post-Doctoral Fellowship - Environmental Chemistry
Sorbonne Université (SU), Paris - 18 months - Starting before end of September 2018
We are seeking a motivated and qualified Post-Doctoral researcher in environmental chemistry for performing key laboratory experiments on innovative catalytic reactions for degrading persistent organic pollutants. The Post-Doctoral research project will focus on the analysis of degradation kinetics of high-priority...
Premier diagramme de phase d’un supraconducteur à haute température critique par dopage électrostatique - Actu CNRS - INP - 17 avril 2018
En établissant le diagramme de phase du Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+x par la méthode du dopage électrostatique, des physiciens ont mis en évidence le comportement complexe de ce type de supraconducteurs, révélant une physique riche et nouvelle.
Le diagramme de phase d’un supraconducteur à haute température critique décrit sa résistance électrique en fonction de la température et de son degré de dopage. Ce diagramme...
