Abstract Computer-aided proof is attracting an ever-wider audience. Hitherto over-represented in the field of computer science, where it was born, it has begun to arouse a certain enthusiasm among mathematicians. However, the two   communities do not …

Abstract This talk will present recent advances in therapeutic and biosensing materials, with a focus on translational pipelines for clinical application. We have developed scalable fabrication methods to create complex 3D architectures and …

Abstract Our lab has pursued development of methods to allow selective incorporation of diverse functionality into synthetic polypeptide materials. Specifically, we have developed synthetic methods that allow a robust variety of modifications to …

Abstract As is the case in the literature, the addition of a mathematical concept to a corpus of formal libraries typically gives rise to several variants of definitions, most often equivalent but not always. Unfortunately, transposing the formal theorem …

Abstract Amyloid fibrils interact with metal ions via metal-ligand supramolecular interactions whose energy is of the order of tens to hundreds of KBT. The occurrence of the 20 essential amino acids in food-based amyloid fibrils derived from inexpensive …

Abstract Polypeptides play a crucial role in areas like nanomedicine, where their biological function is governed by intricate structural features. Studying structure-activity relationships is essential to optimize polypeptide-conjugate designs, as minor …

Abstract I'll report on a project I'm carrying out with María-Inés de Frutos Fernández to formalize the theory of divided powers. Discovered by Cartan in a context of algebraic topology, this algebraic tool was developed in the 1960s by Roby and is at the …

Abstract Heroic war myths are an integral aspect of war in any cultural tradition. In modern warfare, the primary objective of heroic war myth is to arouse patriotic sentiment in order to mobilise the nation to fight an efficient and winning war. Modern …

Abstract AI-driven decision-making is often evaluated in terms of individual human judgment - are algorithms faster, fairer or less biased than humans? In this talk, I challenge this framework, arguing that the most appropriate class of comparison for …

Sam Stupp Samuel Stupp is Board of Trustees Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. He also directs Northwestern's Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine. Stupp's …

Abstract Self-assembling polymer-based nanosystems, particularly polymer micelle-type drug delivery systems (PM-DDS), have emerged as powerful platforms for the smart delivery of therapeutic agents. Constructed through the spontaneous organization of …

Abstract The aim will be to reflect on the opacity of AI models and how so-called "explainable" approaches (XAI), often post-hoc, could be improved by shifting the focus from causal explanation to explanation by …

Abstract The explicability of artificial intelligence (AI) is often presented as essential for the adoption of these systems by physicians. However, its usual approach has two limitations: on the one hand, the lack of anchorage in concrete professional …

Abstract Even if new molecules are discovered to treat severe diseases, the clinical efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutics is hampered by drug resistance and non-specific biodistribution. Advanced nanodevices may overcome some of these limitations. …

Abstract Surface-initiated polymerization is a unique way to produce thin, functional polymer films. As polymer chains are grown from surfaces that are modified with initiators or chain transfer agents to mediate chain growth, this process ensures a …

Abstract Recent applications of music-generating AI can now generate pieces of different musical genres with unexpected levels of expressiveness. An old and common criticism of algorithmically generated music stems from its supposed inability to express …

Abstract Generative AIs today offer textual, musical or pictorial productions of "artistic" content, which are used by Internet users and professional artists alike. But beyond the new tool on offer here, with its advantages, biases and risks, is there …

Access the live stream on the YouTube channel of the Collège de France Foundation Conference in English. Naama Friedman has been invited by the Collège de France assembly at the suggestion of Profs Stanislas Dehaene & Luigi Rizzi . She will give one of a …

Abstract What does AI mean for aesthetics? This paper will look at the consequences of AI-enhanced artistic practices on our relationship to art and its philosophy, placing them in the history of modern art and its debates. It will also look at how art …

With the active participation of Alma Mater Abstract Climate change is turning our societies upside down, giving rise to new forms of commitment, unprecedented questions about our collective responsibilities, and sometimes long-discussed technological …
