France's strict brand of secularism has deep historical roots - but some want to soften it, says the BBC's Henri Astier.

In this paper we experimentally realize high-order photonic topological insulator as a two-dimensional triangular distorted Kagome lattice that supports two types of topological states: 1D topological ...

The Infineon AIROC-Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-STM32 Expansion Pack is an extension of the CMSIS-Pack standard established by Arm to support Wi-Fi and BLE application on STM32 MCUs with Infineon Wireless Combo ...

We report on numerical and experimental results on macro bending losses in single-cell Kagome-lattice hollow-core photonic crystal fibers. Fibers with different cladding layer numbers have been ...

A ban on religious symbols in French state schools has come into force, despite Iraqi hostage-takers' demands.

File on 4 investigates commissions in the world of motor finance.

The St. Thomas More 8-Man football team didn't have to waste time getting to know its next coach ...

In recent studies, porphyrin derivatives have been frequently used as building blocks for the fabrication of metal–organic coordination networks (MOCNs) on metal surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum ...

The Kagome lattice is a pattern of triangles named after a traditional Japanese basket design. It has become a go-to structure for studying strange quantum effects because of its geometry.
