- [hal-05716086] Octupole moments and the non-universality of free-fall in general relativity
Extended bodies in general relativity do not necessarily fall along geodesics, but can be accelerated. These accelerations depend on an object's angular momentum, as well as on its quadrupole, octupole, and higher-order moments. However, these multipole moments can evolve differently from one body […]
- [hal-05715716] Quadrupolar tidal effects destroy the integrability of black hole geodesics: analytic proof and numerical evidence of chaos
In general relativity, the motion of a test mass around a rotating black hole is described by Kerr geodesics. Owing to the symmetries of the Kerr spacetime, these geodesics possess four constants of motion, rendering the associated Hamiltonian system integrable. This integrability underlies much of […]
- [hal-05715700] Exploring $α$- and $β$-decay-induced quenching of the $^{229}$Th nuclear-clock isomer in solid-state hosts
The radiative decay dynamics of an ensemble of $^{229\mathrm{m}}$Th nuclei embedded in CaF$_2$ and MgF$_2$ is investigated. The isomer is populated through $β$ decay of $^{229}$Ac following ion implantation, and its radiative decay is detected using vacuum-ultraviolet spectroscopy and measured as […]
- [hal-05715601] Calibration of the AdvancedVirgo+ Gravitational Wave Detector and Reconstruction of the Detector Strain h(t) during the Observing Run O4
From 10 April 2024 15:00 UTC to 18 November 2025 16:00 UTC, the AdvancedVirgo+ gravitational wave detector participated in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O4 observing run, started on 24 May 2023 15:00 UTC. Around 173 transient gravitational wave (GW) sources, all corresponding to coalescences of binary […]
- [hal-05708505] Radio-sensitization of mutated KRAS G12C non-small cell lung cancer with KRAS G12C tyrosine kinase inhibitor and carbon ions irradiation
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with KRASG12C mutation is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to standard therapies. Sotorasib, a KRASG12C tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown clinical efficacy, yet its interaction with different irradiation modalities remains unclear. This study aimed […]
- [hal-05699840] Probing Neutron Star Interiors and the Properties of Cold Ultra-dense Matter with the SKAO
Matter inside neutron stars is compressed to densities several times greater than nuclear saturation density, while maintaining low temperatures and large asymmetries between neutrons and protons. Neutron stars, therefore, provide a unique laboratory for testing physics in environments that cannot […]

- The brain knows the scoreBehind the pleasure of listening to a song lies an astonishing brain activity: an anticipatory mechanism that translates simple vibrations into emotions. A phenomenon that is especially used in electronic music.
- Maths and the beachHoliday-makers cross paths at the beach, but so do multiple facets of physics and mathematics. Three research projects are working to better describe this environment so highly sensitive to climate change.
- Fields day for Hong WangThe Chinese mathematician Hong Wang is the co-winner of the 2026 Fields Medal (the equivalent of the Nobel prize for the discipline). This distinction recognises work on solutions for the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions, an extension from a century-old problem at the interface of mathematics and geometry. CNRS News provides insights.
- Hunting down the cyber mafiaRansomware is a type of malicious software (malware) that develops within an ecosystem combining criminality, cyber espionage, and disinformation. CNRS News investigates.
- A supernumerary discovererMarthe Gautier was the scientist behind the discovery of the supernumerary chromosome of trisomy 21, a genetic anomaly that affects some 50,000 people in France. Yet her work was overshadowed and she was not the one who took the credit. The biologist Julie Batut joins us for a look back at the career of this […]
