Use of the ESI-2007 scale to evaluate the 2003 Boumerdès earthquake (North Algeria)
In this study, we applied the environmental seismic intensity (ESI-2007) scale to a major recent Algerian earthquake. The ESI-2007 scale is an effective tool to assess the seismic hazard and has been applied to onshore earthquakes.

Monitoring spatially heterogeneous dynamics in a drying colloidal thin film [PDF]
We report on a new type of experiment that enables us to monitor spatially and temporally heterogeneous dynamic properties in complex fluids. Our approach is based on the analysis of near-field speckles produced by light diffusely reflected from the ...

Acoustically controlled enhancement of molecular sensing to assess oxidative stress in cells [PDF]
We demonstrate a microfluidic platform for the controlled aggregation of colloidal silver nanoparticles using surface acoustic waves (SAWs), enabling surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis of a cell based model for oxidative damage.

A classical picture of subnanometer junctions: an atomistic Drude approach to nanoplasmonics [PDF]
The description of optical properties of subnanometer junctions is particularly challenging. Purely classical approaches fail, because the quantum nature of electrons needs to be considered. Here we report on a novel classical fully atomistic approach, {\

Building solids inside nano-space: from confined amorphous through confined solvate to confined ‘metastable’ polymorph [PDF]
The nanocrystallisation of complex molecules inside mesoporous hosts and control over the resulting structure is a significant challenge. To date the largest organic molecule crystallised inside the nano-pores is a known pharmaceutical intermediate – ROY

Holography and Coherent Diffraction with Low-Energy Electrons: A Route towards Structural Biology at the Single Molecule Level [PDF]
The current state of the art in structural biology is led by NMR, X-ray crystallography and TEM investigations. These powerful tools however all rely on averaging over a large ensemble of molecules.
