High-entropy materials are often presented as a new paradigm in materials science, where configurational disorder is expected to stabilise novel phases and unlock exceptional properties. However, as research progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that entropy is only one part of a much more complex picture.
Infectious diseases are responsible of millions of deaths worldwide every year. If most of them benefit from treatments/vaccins, resurgence (whooping cough), resisting strains (tuberculosis), persistence (HIV) and new pandemic burden (COVID-19) remain.

This presentation will cover past and on-going studies carried out these last 30 years at CEA on metallurgical approaches to support advanced Zr-based claddings qualification upon hypothetical LOss-of-Coolant-Accident (LOCA) scenario and, more recently, to develop innovative Cr-coated materials, as Enhanced-Accident-Tolerant-Fuel (E-ATF) claddings. Specific attention will be paid to the fundamental effects of phase transformations and associated oxygen and hydrogen diffusion and partitioning upon High Temperature (HT) transients in oxidizing (steam) environment, in relationship with the thermal-mechanical properties of the claddings, these last ones being strongly connected to LOCA safety issues.
High-entropy ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) have emerged as highly promising materials for extreme environment applications due to their exceptional thermal stability, high melting temperatures, oxidation resistance, and superior mechanical performance at elevated temperatures. These characteristics make them attractive candidates for aerospace, energy, and hypersonic applications, where complex multi-material architectures are often required. However...

The National Centre for Nuclear Research now possesses a complete suite of advanced simulation tools from the SIMULIA family. We invite you to a meeting led by dr inż. Jakub Michalski and dr. inż. Marcin Wierszycki. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate how the software already available at the Institute can support your daily scientific work – from advanced materials physics to modeling complex processes in research infrastructure.
Electricity generation remains a cornerstone of modern society, sustained by both conventional fossil‑fuel‑based systems and an increasingly significant contribution from renewable energy sources. Achieving global climate‑mitigation targets requires substantial reductions in CO₂ emissions, a goal closely tied to enhancing the efficiency of power plants by operating at progressively higher temperatures.
In this study, molecular dynamics simulations is used to assess the damage evolution as a function of dose and temperature of several FeCrNi solid-solutions modeling austenitic steels. First, the threshold displacement energy (TDE) is evaluated for Fe, Cr, and Ni primary knock-on atoms, showing similar behavior across species and suggesting limited influence of alloying for TDE. Subsequently, displacement cascade simulations revealed...
CANCELLED — This seminar will not take place. A new date will be announced.
Radiolabeled biomolecules are increasingly employed for diagnostic and treatment. Amongst available imaging radioisotopes, fluorine-18 presents many advantages (ease of production, optimal physical properties and short half-life) and is the most commonly used PET isotope. However...
