Our research

Once the L² bounded curvature conjecture in general relativity was resolved, researchers were able to set out a framework for resolving Albert Einstein’s equations (CNRS/UPMC/Université Paris-Diderot/Princeton University).

While studying fruit flies, researchers from the CNRS and the Université de Toulouse III discovered that micropeptides (atypical proteins in the genome) regulate cellular proteins.

These new batteries created by the CNRS, the Collège de France and the Sorbonne University, could replace the batteries currently used in laptops and electric cars. This is because the salt is able to store energy in a way that has a less damaging impact on the environment.

This study carried out by the CNRS, the University of Bordeaux and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, showed that humans were living in caves around 176,500 years earlier than previously believed.

Hundreds of malware programmes were used by researchers at the CNRS, the Inria and the Université de Lorraine, with the goal of creating a new antivirus software for the police and later for businesses.

Electronic synapses capable of independent learning have been developed by the CNRS, Thales, the University of Bordeaux and Paris-Saclay University. This research opens up the possibility of creating an artificial brain.

The aim of this work on the condolence books filled in by Parisians after the attacks of 13 November 2015 was to study the construction and development of memory after these attacks, and it raised questions about some of the received ideas about the sociological processes involved.

While developing an optical lens capable of extended temporal scaling, scientists also improved our understanding and our ability to anticipate extreme events such as rogue waves. (CNRS/ University of Franche-Comté, etc.)
