Budget 2026 : des taxes sur les multinationales et les géants du numérique américains votées à l’Assemblée, au grand dam du gouvernement
En première lecture, les députés ont approuvé à une écrasante majorité un amendement de LFI et un autre de Renaissance. Ces deux mesures pourraient rapporter plus de 20 milliards d’euros, mais ont peu de chances de passer l’étape du Sénat.

Asymptotic Weighted Approximation of Convex Functions
Extending classical results on polytopal approximation of convex bodies, we derive asymptotic formulas for the weighted approximation of smooth convex functions by piecewise affine convex functions as the number of their facets tends to infinity. These asymptotic expressions are formulated in terms of a functional that extends the notion of affine surface area to the functional setting.

A DNA-encoded recipe to direct multi-stage colloidal assembly
In equilibrium self-assembly, microscopic building blocks spontaneously self-organize into stable structures as dictated by their interaction potentials, which limits the accessible structural features to those that correspond to global minima in free energy landscapes; they are often ordered and periodic on length scales comparable to the building block size. Coupling the assembly process to an exergonic reaction drives the system out of equilibrium so that an assembly pathway can be engineere…

An asymptotic field approach for the control of dipole emission in integrated structures
We present a general framework to model spontaneous emission in integrated photonic structures by exploiting quantization of the electromagnetic field in terms of asymptotic in/out modes. This approach allows for an efficient and physically meaningful calculation of the emission rate into each radiative channel of an arbitrary structure, without relying on approximations such as Lorentzian lineshapes or point-like system-bath coupling. We show that with this approach one can recover well-known …

You know, even if Wes Streeting was right, this is an absolutely shitty way to be talking about someone else. Wes Streeting should be ashamed of this.

Asymptotic Error Analysis of Gauss Quadrature for Nonsmooth Functions
We derive an asymptotic error formula for Gauss--Legendre quadrature applied to functions with limited regularity, using the contour-integral representation of the remainder term. To address the absence of uniformly valid approximations of Legendre functions near $[-1,1]$, we approximate the integrand by smoother functions with singularities displaced from the interval and then obtain asymptotic expansions of the Legendre functions that hold uniformly along the contour. The resulting error form…

Geometric Frustration Directs the Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles with Crystallized Ligand Bundles
Polymer-grafted nanoparticles are versatile building blocks that self-assemble into a rich diversity of mesostructures. Coarse-grained molecular simulations have commonly accompanied experiments by resolving structure formation pathways and predicting phase behavior. Past simulations represented nanoparticles as spheres and the ligands as flexible chains of beads, isotropically tethered to the nanoparticles. Here, we investigate a different minimal coarse-grained model. The model consists of an…
