Over the last seventy years, porous solids have become strategic materials, thanks to their use in the oil industry, catalysis and fine chemistry. Fifteen years ago, the discovery of a new class of porous solids, this time combining organic and inorganic …

Porous materials, with their large surface area and often exalted reactivity, are currently attracting a great deal of interest due to their wide-ranging applications in fields as diverse as sensors and biosensors, catalysis and biocatalysis, separation …

This is where we see how values unfold within and between social groups. Can we speak of a new logic of values and the negotiation of their discrepancies, or even oppositions? The notion of social distance and psychological distance (emotion) are crucial. …

Discovered seemingly by chance some 5,000 years ago, glass has continued to evolve, giving rise to increasingly sophisticated products. While some glass compositions seem to have evolved relatively little, the purity of the raw materials used and the care …

This second lecture (following on from the opening lecture) enabled us to better define the major classes of hybrid materials and to briefly describe the different strategies employed in the literature to build organo-mineral networks. Organic-inorganic …

Hence the question posed in this lecture: what is a book? It's not a new question. Kant formulated it explicitly in 1798 in his Metaphysical Principles of the Doctrine of Law. The first reason for this was his involvement in the debate on literary …
