Publication "Examples of physics ancient instruments use in education at the secondary school and at university levels in France supported by ASEISTE" by Françoise Khantine-Langlois, Alfonso San-Miguel, Pierre Lauginie. Chapter 7 in "Historical Scientific Instruments in Contemporary Education". Pages:122–138, ISBN: 978-90-04-49966-9 (2021). We have shown how physics ancient instruments may be transformed in an extremely powerful pedagogical tool.
Publication "Delamination of multilayer graphen stacks form its substrate through wrinkle fromation under high pressure" Ian R. Amaral et al, Carbon, 185, 242 (2021). Graphene is the ultimate sheet made of a monolayer of carbon atoms. When in contact with a surface, graphene 'sticks' and is not always easy to remove. We have found that the application of hydrostatic pressure allows stacks of graphene sheets to be lifted from the substrate...
Publication: "Collapse phase diagram of carbon nanotubes with arbitrary number of walls. Collapse modes and macroscopic analog", Y. Magnin, F. Rondepierre, W. Cui, D. Dunstan and A. San-Miguel, Carbon, 178, 552-562 (2021) (Arxiv version)...
Diatomic molecules are ubiquitous in our environment, as in the air we breathe, but if we increase the pressure by gradually bringing them closer together, until when can we still speak of differentiated molecules?...

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Millie Dresselhauss, the first woman full professor at the MIT (Boston). Together with my colleague and friend Jean-Louis Sauvajol, we wrote a small article to celebrate her fantastic scientific career and her enormous contribution to the science of carbon and nanocarbons between other aspects...
