Phase-change materials such as vanadium dioxide (VO2) are attracting growing interest because of their insulator–metal transition at temperatures close to room temperature. This reversible transition induces drastic changes in their electrical, optical, and thermal...
Arthropods species (insects, spiders, scorpions, etc.) account for nearly two-thirds of all living organisms on Earth. Present for hundreds of millions of years, they have adapted to absolutely every environment, especialy light environnements. From...

Terrestrial arthropods (insects, spiders, etc.) dominate the world in numbers and extreme diversity. This book presents the combined views of a physicist, a chemist, and a biologist on the fascinating interactions of these organisms...
Glasses exhibit atypical thermomechanical properties that are very different from those of crystals. Many of these peculiarities are closely linked to the existence of the boson peak, an excess of vibrational states whose origin...

Converting magnetic excitation into electrical energy is of great interest for medical applications, such as remote implant charging. In a previous article, members of INSP showed that a Ni/LiNbO3/Ni composite produces a strong magnetoelectric...
Light can be confined within micro- or nanostructures, resulting in both resonance and energy localization. In cylindrical dielectric microstructures, resonant modes propagate along the circles bounding the cylinder: these are called whispering gallery modes....
