Comments on fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy in a nanoaperture
A point that is always missed by readers of peer-reviewed articles is the discussion with referees, which I believe often contains interesting comments and should somehow be available to the scientific community. To (locally) correct for this, I give...

Training periods and PhD positions in optics & biophotonics
The Mosaic group at the Institut Fresnel offers training periods for graduate students in optics and photonics. PhD positions are also available based on the different internship subjects, depending on the applicant’s profile and fundings. More information...

Autumn 2006 article selection
As member of the OMNT “materials and components for optics” committee, I regularly give a selection and a brief description of articles, that I found particularly relevant to the field. Here is my latest selection : "Creating hot nanoparticle pairs for...

Quantum optics movie
An amazing video found on Google : http://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=-4237751840526284618&q=physics&pr=goog-sl Young’s double slit experiment explained in a classical and in a quantum world. It's worth having a look ! Note : it's seems the link doesn't...

PhD in France
I often get applications from students wishing to start a PhD in France . Therefore, I think it’s necessary to clarify the eligibility conditions for a PhD funding grant from the French ministry of research (the standard grant in France, but there exist...

US-French collaboration
For two weeks, we’ll be welcoming at Marseille Prof. Steve Blair and Colby Wilson from Utah University ( Salt Lake City, ). We also welcome Mr Farhad Madhavi for three months. This is part of an ongoing international collaboration funded by NSF international...

Any future for the CNRS ?
So it didn’t take long to the newly elected French government to threaten (again) the CNRS. Now, the transfer of CNRS researchers to universities appears intended, giving a large power to universities deans, and totally weaking the CNRS institution. This...

Review Nanoholes
Drilling holes of nanometric dimensions in a metal film is a way conceptually simple to realize new nanophotonic components. In spite of its visible simplicity, a hole drilled in an opaque screen still inspires new perspectives of applications. In a review...

[Edit] Wenger on defeat, discipline, Barcelona
Arsene Wenger speaks about Barcelona: "They are better than us, everybody knows that, but I think we could’ve won the game tonight if we kept the discipline until the end." Obviously thinking about ICFO, wasn't he? Let's follow coach Wenger's advice....

Fresnel diffraction experiment 1/7: official trailer
Is there light in the center of a shadow from a black disk? What is the shadow of a hole milled in an opaque screen? Can adding light to light create darkness? The Institut Fresnel releases a series of short videos answering various questions about light...

End of year thinking: stay true to yourself
Good period to take some distance from our daily routine and think about ourselves. But who are we by the way? True individuals or mirrors of somebody else? Think of it, and til next time, live like a nanopirate! Warning: the video below is giving the...

Rejection rate at CLEO Europe EQEC
As we had a large number of submitted abstracts but a limited number of slots at the conference, the selection process was very fierce. About 50% of abstracts could be selected for talks, 25% for poster and unfortunately we had to reject about 25% of...

Tips for writing an ERC proposal
The most complete set of advice is found on Prof. Andreas Zeller's excellent post. Additionally, the EPFL research office has released a very useful pdf document to help during ERC proposal writing. Both highly recommended!
