Presentation
The MSC laboratory is a highly multidisciplinary macroscopic physics laboratory, particularly through its interfaces with the living world and the environment. It is interested in the emergence and use of complexity in a wide variety of situations

The laboratory’s three main areas of research, which we explore theoretically, are :
Non-linear physics in the broadest sense (including hydrodynamics and granular media physics).
Soft matter physics.
The physics of interfaces with chemistry, biology and medicine.
The Laboratory’s expertise ranges from fundamental and theoretical aspects to materials (particularly those derived from Soft Matter, their complex rheology, surface properties, wetting, etc. ), geophysics (work on dunes, erosion or the detection of contaminants in the environment), agronomy (plant growth and dynamics), and biomedical engineering (development of diagnostic methods or new treatment principles, nanotoxicology, cell therapy, tissue engineering, gene expression control… ).
The laboratory is structured into six teams, with a high degree of thematic and personal porosity between teams, a source of interaction. These teams are complemented by a research support team made up of engineers and technicians with multidisciplinary skills in design, mechanics, IT, instrumentation, electronics, chemistry and biology.
