A brain in your computer? Between a human brain and a computer, which uses less energy to perform calculations? The comic strip Un cerveau dans votre ordi ? answers this question and many others.Behind this content are Simon Tricard, Félix Houard, and Jérémie Grisolia from LPCNO. https://exploreur.univ-toulouse.fr/un-cerveau-dans-votre-ordihttps://www.instagram.com/exploreur_/
ICOSAHEDRA CoPd NPs FOR MAGNETICALLY INDUCED CATALYSIS In this study, CoPd bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using an organometallic approach. Detailed structural analyses, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and wide-angle X-ray scattering, showed an icosahedral Pd-rich core surrounded by a less crystalline Co-rich shell. Due to their strong magnetic anisotropy, these 10 nm … Read more
NCO team develops NHC-Stabilized Nanoparticles for Aqueous 5-HMF Conversion Biomass conversion is attracting growing attention worldwide as a sustainable alternative to fossil-based resources such as petroleum and natural gas. Responding to this challenge, the NCO team has designed N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized, water-soluble nanoparticles of various metals and alloys to drive the selective conversion of 5-HMF, … Read more
The ANR POMADE project, focusing on the fabrication of nanostructured magnets for the autonomy of portable devices, was highlighted by the ANR in its 2024 report. This project, led by the NCO and Nanomag teams at the LPCNO in collaboration with the laboratories of IMFT, LAAS, and the Néel Institute, has enabled the implementation of … Read more

Science is Wonderful is an initiative of European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). It bridges the research carried out by the MSCA funded projects with schools across the European Union. It highlights and brings EU-funded research closer to primary and secondary school students and gives them the opportunity to interact with leading researchers and innovators. From … Read more
