École Polytechique Executive Education, which develops L’X's professional training programs, will launch a certifying online program dedicated to the Blockchain technology in the fall of 2022.
Constraining the movement of vascular cells by culturing them on engineered microgrooved substrates generates a new pattern of collective motion that can be predicted using the physical framework of active fluids. This work has been published in Nature Communications by a team from the Hydrodynamics Laboratory.
An optical coherence tomography device has been inaugurated at the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory. It will allow three-dimensional imaging at the micrometre scale for research on heritage and ancient materials.
David Henri and Paul Lascombes, two of the four founders of Exotrail, are among the 300 under 30 selected by the European edition of Forbes magazine for their innovative projects that are transforming various sectors of the economy and innovating in areas of rapid technological change.
Patrick Huerre is CNRS Senior Scientist Emeritus and was Professor at Ecole Polytechnique where he co-founded the Hydrodynamics Laboratory with Jean-Marc Chomaz. He has just been awarded the European Society of Mechanics' Fluid Mechanics Prize, for his career devoted to hydrodynamic instabilities.
Élisabeth Borne (X81) has been appointed Prime Minister of the French government, the first woman graduate of the Ingénieur Polytechnicien program and second woman to hold this position. She emphasized the symbolic significance of her appointment as École Polytechnique celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the entrance exam to the Ingénieur Polytechnicien program to women.
After winning the French selection, a team from the Ingénieur Polytechnicien program won the world final of this physics student competition in Colombia. This is the third victory for team from l'X in this tournament.
Developed within the EuroTeQ Engineering University project, an innovative learning format enters École Polytechnique’s course catalog and brings students, faculty, and industry partners together around concrete environmental challenges.
The way in which the dandelion opens or closes in order to fly has been modelled in a paper in Nature Communications co-authored by researchers from the Hydrodynamics Laboratory at École Polytechnique.
Since 2015, Dominique Rossin was Vice-Provost for Education at Ecole Polytechnique. He takes over from Benoit Deveaud, acting Provost since the departure of Yves Laszlo last September.
