Supraconductivity Thematic Days of the GDR Meetic
Two thematic days on superconductivity, as part of the GDR Meetic, are being organized on December 6th and 7th by Y. Gallais, M. Cazayous, A. Sacuto (MPQ), and D. Colson (CEA-Saclay). They will take place in the Buffon amphitheater at the University of Paris (15 Rue...
High-Tc superconductivity highlighted in “Reflets de la physique”
The SQUAP team has published an article, coordinated by Alain Sacuto, in the Reflets de la Physique journal of the French Physical Society (SFP). Reflets de la physique Levitation of a magnet sandwiched between two YBa2Cu3O7 superconductor pellets cooled to the...

Exploring the elasticity of multiferroic materials
Multiferroics are materials that simultaneously display a ferroelectric and a magnetic order, which in some cases interact. The combination of these properties holds promises for future hybrid computing architectures that transform information from one state into...
Molecular spintronics: a short movie
The European FET-OPEN COSMICS project, of which the MPQ laboratory (resp. Amandine Bellec) is one of the 6 partners, has developed a short movie presenting molecular spintronics and the challenges of the project. The project is based on a collaboration between...
A metasurface for non-linear optical generation with full phase control
Researchers of the DON team at MPQ lab have obtained the first dielectric optical metasurface generating second harmonic with full phase control. Figure: SEM image of a Fresnel lens designed to focus a second-harmonic signal.Thanks to this breakthrough, they achieved...
