The two planetary defense ESA Hera and NASA DART missions aim at demonstrating asteroid deflection capabilities. This will be the first-ever extraterrestrial surface gravimeter experiment on a small body. The present PhD thesis contributed to this novel instrument development, from early prototyping to the final instrument flight model (FM)...

The standard model (SM) of particle physics is a hugely successful theory of nature, but it is incomplete. E.g., it cannot explain finite SM neutrino masses or the origin of the primordial baryon asymmetry (BAU). One way to address such problems is to postulate the existence of new but hidden particles...

Ice formed from seawater, called sea ice, is both an important actor in and a sensitive indicator of climate change. Covering 7% of the World Ocean, sea ice damps the atmosphere-ocean exchanges of heat, radiation and momentum in polar regions. It...

In qualitative theory of differential equations, an important role is played by special classes of solutions, like periodic solutions or solutions to some boundary value problems. When a system of ordinary differential equations has equilibria, i.e...

Comment, à partir d'une ressource aussi vitale que l'eau, mettre d'accord des scientifiques et des acteurs locaux - familles d'agriculteurs, décideurs politiques - sur une optimisation économique et sociale durable de cette ressource naturelle...

La thèse à la base de ce travail soutient l'idée d'une réponse quantitative des jeunes pousses de peuplier, se développant en conditions contrôlées, en réaction à l'application d'un stimulus gravitationnel induit artificiellement. Pour en faire...
