Jean-François Lutz, prix Langevin
Congratulations to Jean-François Lutz who won the prize Langevin from the Academy of Science 2024.
This prize for work in the field of physical chemistry, was created in 1941 as a tribute to the memory of French scientists murdered by the Nazis in 1940-1945.
Le Monde, a french daily newspaper published an article about our research on synthetic digital polymers in the frame of PEPR project.
