Superconductivity research at MPQ in the spotlight on France Culture
The program "La méthode scientifique" on France culture highlighted research on superconductivity at MPQ in its 12/12/2018 program, entitled "Supraconductivité : chaud devant". You can find the interview of Alain Sacuto (professor) and Nicolas Auvray (PhD student) of...
Magnetotransport of electrons modified by cavity vacuum fields
The THEORIE group of MPQ laboratory is pioneering a new frontier of condensed matter physics: the control of electronic transport in cavity systems. The group has theoretically shown that the direct current (dc) magnetotransport of a 2D electron gas can be strongly...
The link between superconductivity and nematicity revealed under pressure
Researchers from laboratory MPQ have clarified the link between superconductivity and nematicity, put forward by recent theoretical works, thanks to Raman scattering experiments under pressure. Surprisingly, they have observed a quick collapse of electronic nematic...

A new light on nanomechanical dissipation
Researchers from laboratory Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques have shown that crystalline nanomechanical resonators are affected by surface fluctuation mechanisms that are ubiquitous in condensed matter. High-Q nanomechanical resonators are becoming central with the...
New quantum devices are revolutionizing infrared detection
A research team of the Materials and Quantum Phenomena laboratory (University Paris Diderot/CNRS) has developed a new class of far-infrared sensitive detectors that are very fast and operate at room temperature. This scientific breakthrough will accelerate the use of...
