on to the next generation. In the laboratory, our goal is to decipher the mechanisms used by TE families to colonise the genome. To explore these mechanisms, we activated transposable elements (TEs) and identified

the development of a phase-field model to study the mechanisms of formation and growth of tetrataenite (Ni-Fe with the L1₀ ordered structure) during cooling. The objective is to incorporate the presence

, megafire-prone conditions could become more prevalent (3-4). However, the key mechanisms that promote or inhibit megafires are under-studied for most regions globally. This project addresses critical
