India ready to strike “deep into Pakistan” if provoked, New Delhi warns amid shaky ceasefire

2 weeks ago | politico.eu | Nicholas Vinocur |Nicolas Barré

Nearly three weeks after the end of a brief but brutal India-Pakistan war, New Delhi on Monday warned that the root causes of the conflict remain unchanged — and that India stands ready to strike anywhere in Pakistan if provoked by terrorist attacks.

Differentiable wave propagation method for shape optimization of freeform optics beyond the paraxial approximation

2 months ago | opg.optica.org | Nicolas Barré |Marc Brunel |Université de Rennes

Freeform optics provides precise control of light for beam shaping and mode conversion, but designing volumetric micro-optical elements requires efficient, low-runtime simulation methods.

Nov 12, 2023 | worldcrunch.com | Nicolas Barré |Federico Taddia

BEIRUT — “Go to Place de l’Etoile, you'll find me there.” At the appointed time that morning, the square where the Lebanese Parliament is located is deserted.

Since the explosion at the port of Beirut on August 8, 2020, the surroundings of the building have been the image of a ghostly power. Vacant.
