Cédric PASSARD, L’Âge d’or du pamphlet

Chair : Cédric DEFFAYET

“standard model” of particles physics, which describes with great success all the known most intimate building block of nature. More concretely, it gives a unified description of all the known particles and of three of the four fundamental interactions at work in nature: the electromagnetic interaction, the so-called “strong” interaction and the so-called “weak” interaction. This standard model...

The Work of Cédric Villani

The starting point of Cédric Villani’s work goes back to the introduction of entropy in the nineteenth century by L. Carnot and R. Clausius. At the time, entropy was a vague concept and its rigorous definition had to wait until the fundamental work of L. Boltzmann who introduced nonequilibrium statistical physics and the famous H functional. Boltzmann’s work, though a fundamental breakthrough, ...

Cédric Blanpain: The stories stem cells tell

A lthough the stem cells found in adult tissues produce a more limited range of cell types than those found in the early embryo, they are absolutely essential to replace cells lost to turnover or tissue damage. Understanding and harnessing the biology of these cells would yield amazing therapeutic benefi ts. But to realize such benefi ts, it's necessary to study as many kinds of stem cells as p...

Unlocking the DOR Code

of the retina. At first glance, it would seem improbable studies that have revealed the basic mechanisms by that full-fledged sodium action potentials would play a which odorant information in the periphery is reliably major role. Thus, the first stages of retinal processing transferred to the brain for higher order processing. are likely to remain analog rather than digital. However, The initi...
