Abstract Lamellar transition metal compounds are much-studied materials due to their unconventional electronic and magnetic properties. Intense research is focusing on the reasoned design of this type of material, based either on structural prediction …

Abstract Redox chemistry is at the origin of many energy-related electrochemical devices, among which Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the leading energy storage technology for portable electronics and vehicle electrification. Throughout its history, …

Session chaired by : Maryam Ebrahimi Dinani (Collège de France) Abstract I draw attention to an underappreciated virtue of Yablo's account of causation. It's the fact that the concept of cause that results from it is (in principle, at least) particularly …

Hate speech and the radicalization of emotions Online hate speech against migrants : fractures and divisions This talk will focus on the epistemological and methodological challenges of contemporary research into what is commonly referred to as "online …

Session chaired by : Maryam Ebrahimi Dinani (Collège de France) Abstract Stephen Yablo has offered an influential solution to the problem raised by Kim's "exclusion argument" according to which mental events, and more generally higher-level events of any …

Session chaired by : Maryam Ebrahimi Dinani (Collège de France) Abstract Philosophers and logicians have recently devoted considerable effort to trying to elucidate the elusive notion of subject matter (Fine 2016, 2020, Yablo 2014, Hawke 2017, Berto 2018, …

As in many traditional civilizations, Mesopotamian rituals were conceived as the reproduction of primordial gestures. It's undeniable that cults had elements that remained unchanged over the long term, which is why Mesopotamian religion is generally …

Session chaired by : Louis Rouillé (Collège de France) Abstract In both the study of questions and the study of subject matter, we need to reach beyond propositions to find a more structured representation of the object of inquiry. I present an …

Session chaired by : Louis Rouillé (Collège de France) Abstract Some ideas from aboutness theory are applied to the problem of logical "nescience" (= logical non-omniscience). Little insight is provided into this problem by the picture of propositions as …

Abstract The study of Europe's " heritage " should at last lead us to look to the future, while reflecting on convergences and what can become common, and their implementation. It is mainly the contribution of Europe's constitutional heritage that is at …

Abstract How do we reimagine the digital world? To focus solely on technology is to miss the point: our interactions with that technology. My field, human-computer interaction , poses a fundamental question: how can we ensure that computers meet the needs …

Abstract Whether the states of Central and Eastern Europe are now members of the European Union, or only belong to the Council of Europe as an international organization, the crucial challenges they face are so different that it is now questionable …

Abstract Plasma processes enable the deposition of a wide variety of materials under non-equilibrium conditions. Here we retrace the evolution of the silicon thin-film industry: from hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) in the 1980s to polymorphous …

Abstract The period in question lasted around ten millennia, from 21 000 to 11 600 years before present (BP: before present ). It was long enough for slow variations in the Earth's orbit to have had an influence on climate. Indeed, the geometry of the …

Thin-film technologies are distinguished by the ability of materials to absorb sunlight at very low thicknesses, of the order of a few microns or less, as opposed to over a hundred or more for silicon. This is due to a difference in the electronic …
