Had time just before heading home today to do a quick video about Alex and his first foray into the world of computer modelling...

Just had Alex come down from Namur for the week - he arrived on Bastille day (Monday) and we've been getting him doing some calculations. Surprising for us, we got him to do quite a quick simple one that we'd been meaning to run for a while, and the results turned out much more interesting than we expected - good news!

Meanwhile we've been working on a joint paper - poor guy was exhausted after 10 days doing night shifts in the Synchrotron, then over a week in Ireland at a conference, so I think he came here for a bit of a break but we made him work :)

Anyway we have nice agreement between our theory results and their latest synchrotron experimental results and the paper is well on ... see full text

Just to remind everyone that is following this project that if they want to come and meet most of the scientists involved and learn something new about carbon nanoscience and nanotechnology there is a conference this summer hosted at Sussex University where you will be able to do both! See: Nanotec '08

In addition for those that have not already seen the short documentary about an EU project set up to support women working in nanotechnology 'WomenInNano' it can be seen on the Vega website at: 'WomenInNano' Video

Seven hours to get to Montpellier ..... and seven hours to came back ... 6 very hot days in between to enjoy Montpellier, Spain winning the Eurocup08, my birthday and lots lots of science.

Alex Zettl saw us what I thing it is the coolest application for carbon nanotubes so far (even cooler than chilli detector). He used a nanotube as an antenna and we heard a song by Nirvana!

Hi, now a short description of the techniques we use for the project.

A little film put together for a film competition/showing last year at Oakridge in the US, from some computer graphics images I did of fullerenes and nanotubes - watch them strut their funky stuff!

My thanks to Christopher Rouleau - he's organising another filmshow again this year so maybe there'll be some nano2hybrids entries for that?

There's lots more computer generated images of fullerenes, nanotubes and other nanomaterials on my website.

Few weeks ago, Jean-Jacques, Ludovic and Frédéric were in Luxemburg to visit us and to bring samples. It was the occasion for them to have an overview of the facilities of our lab (instrumental development, surface treatment and analysis labs). Follow the guide...
Many thanks to Ludovic who did a great job by filming and editing all these videos. Good luck for you new job !

Hi,

I am pleased to let you know that we have received an award for our project! It has been awarded by the "Fonds International WERNAERS pour la recherche et la diffusion des connaissances", for our work in communicating our science project, through this website and our video diaries.

At the same time, Jean Christophe Charlier from the LLN group also won a prize for his work with Xavier Gonze on "Apprentisage par projet de la simulation numerique ab initio" - a good year for nano2hybrids!

All the best, JJP

Hi All,

Very soon, I will start a new job, I will work again on my former field of interest, i.e. Agricultural Sciences, but still doing project management.

Bye bye everyone and all the best to the Nano2Hybriders, Ludovic

It was friday june 13th.
I am sometimes in front of and sometimes behind the camera.
Follow me during the whole day !
