As part of the BEECOG project, a scientific collaboration involving LIPhy whose aim is to study the role of cognition -and in particular learning- in the collective behavior of bees, Aurore Avarguès-Weber, CNRS research director at the Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition Animale in Toulouse, will give a public lecture at MaCI on Thursday, November 27, 2025, at 7 p.m.

This is the challenge facing the ANR FULBOX project, led by Bastien Arnal, a CNRS researcher at LIPhy, which aims to develop new tools for imaging biological tissues in depth using photoacoustic imaging techniques.

By observing sheared foam under a time-resolved X-ray tomograph, researchers were able to observe how the rearrangements of bubbles in flow cause the overall mechanical response of the entire system.

An international team of researchers from LIPhy (Université Grenoble Alpes / CNRS), the Institut des Molécules et Matériaux du Mans (Le Mans Université / CNRS) and the Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany) has shown that copper-based nanoparticles (Cu(OH)₂) can degrade bacterial membranes in presence of small amounts of hydrogen peroxide – amounts comparable to those naturally produced by the metabolism of bacterial cells.

LIPhy is taking action to reduce the share of equipment purchases in its CO2 emissions! Over the past year, the laboratory has developed and implemented a new digital tool for sharing equipment: the Matosthèque.
