  1. ÉMISSION | Écritures et langues

    Dans cet épisode de LABO4, des chercheurs de l'ULiège nous emmènent aux origines de l'écrit : tablettes d’argile, papyrus, inscriptions gravées…

    En déchiffrant ces écritures du passé, les chercheurs ne font pas que traduire des mots : ils reconstituent des mondes. Et, ce faisant, ils nous aident à mieux saisir ce qui fait de nous des êtres humains, à travers le temps.

  2. Linear Elamite: 4,800 years old, one of humanity's three oldest scripts. The other two were cracked in the 1800s. This one held until a team at ULiège broke it.

    77 signs. Each one = one sound. No logograms. Pure phonetic writing, centuries before cuneiform got there.

    The method: find royal names already known from cuneiform, then spot them in the unknown script. "We always proceed from the known toward the unknown."

    The critical mass detail is wild: only 20 inscriptions existed for decades. Not enough to see the pattern. Then eight silver vessels surfaced in London in 2015. With 45 texts, the code cracked open.

  3. La formation et la culture technique:

    Les grandes écoles d'ingénieurs françaises (et notamment les formations en informatique) ont une culture du #logiciellibre plus développée. En #Belgique francophone, les cursus universitaires (#ULiège, #UCLouvain, #ulb ) produisent des ingénieurs compétents mais pas forcément orientés vers la création d'entreprises de services en logiciel libre.
    Heureusement qu'il nous reste le @fosdem 😅

  4. 📚✨ Spotlight on Comic Books at #ULiège Library!⤵️

    The comic book collection of the ULiège #Library includes several thousand titles, covering a wide range of genres.

    To explore this collection more intuitively, through broad thematic groupings, thematic galleries are now available.

  5. Pioneering measurement of the acidity of #ionic #liquids using Raman spectroscopy. A study carried out by our researchers has made it possible to estimate experimentally the energy required to transfer protons from water to ionic liquids.

  6. An international team led by scientists from the GIGA #ULiège has discovered a new therapeutic target for the treatment of #melanoma resistant to targeted #therapies. Inhibition of VARS enzyme could prevent this therapeutic resistance by resensitising #tumours resistant to these targeted therapies.

  7. The #bread of the future|
    Researchers from the University of Liège and the University of Ghent worked together with Drossche Mills to test the bread baking quality of #flour made from #wheat which was grown under present and expected future #climatic conditions.
