IMPMC
© IMPMCThe IMPMC is particularly notable in its multidisciplinary approach. This means most topics are studied by researchers from different backgrounds—in physics, Earth science or biology.
Experimental platforms, technical know-how and scientific expertise are all used to conduct research on the interactions between the living world (including bacteria) and the mineral world. Issues include those related to the alteration of minerals of the environment, modeling of protein complexes by cryo-electron microscopy or the synthesis of ultra-hard materials under extreme conditions.

La couleur des vitraux de la cathédrale de Reims révèle l'évolution des technologies verrières du Moyen-Âge à nos jours - Actu CNRS-InSHS - 17/06/2019
Une collaboration entre des minéralogistes, des chimistes et des historiens de l’art montre que la couleur des vitraux délivre des informations sur l'évolution des techniques de fabrication et de restauration des verres au cours des siècles. En utilisant un nouveau type de spectrophotomètre portable, les chercheurs ont obtenu des résultats permettant de comprendre comment les verriers des périodes...
