The Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), also known as the French National Centre for Scientific Research, is a state-owned research organization founded in France in 1939. Employing approximately 18,170 people, CNRS conducts research across various scientific disciplines, including life sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences. Its research activities aim to address contemporary and future challenges. The organization is considered a globally prominent research institution.
Researchers at CNRS, in collaboration with the European Synchrotron, ENS Lyon, and the Institute of Marine Research in Norway, discovered how Atlantic Bluefin tuna convert toxic mercury into less harmful forms. Separately, CNRS researchers found that women with long COVID experience a higher risk of abnormal uterine bleeding, with symptoms worsening during specific menstrual cycle phases. Additionally, a CNRS team, alongside Université Paris-Saclay, CEA, and Inserm, evaluated two AI techniques for detecting new multiple sclerosis lesions. Finally, a CNRS/UGA team investigated CO2 transport within liquid foam, demonstrating how its diffusion relates to foam structure and gas transport through soap films.
