Yves Quéré, born in 1931 in Commercy<ref name="apds"><abbr>(it)</abbr> « Rinunce e Nomine [B0650], Nomina di Membro Ordinario della Pontifica Accademia delle Scienze, <nowiki>https://ift.tt/2ZReABy> DI MEMBRO ORDINARIO DELLA PONTIFICIA ACCADEMIA DELLE SCIENZE », Bulletin quotidien, Bureau de presse du Saint-Siège, 20 décembre 2003</ref>, is a French physicist and a member of the Academy of Sciences.
In 1961, he married France Jaulmes, a writer and theologian, and had three children, David, Anne, and Emmanuelle.
== Biography ==
Called to teach in various places, including Europe, the United States, Latin America and China, he is Professor Emeritus at the [[École Polytechnique]], where he was elected President of the Department of Physics and President of the Senate of Professors, and then appointed Director of Education.
Member of the French Academy of Sciences since 18 February 1991<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>, he was its delegate for international relations for eight years. Yves Quéré was elected in 2000 as co-chair of the InterAcademy Panel (IAP)<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>, which is the assembly of the 100 or so Academies of Science around the world. With [[Georges Charpak]] and [[Pierre Léna]]<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>, he has been involved since 1996 in the renovation of science education at school, "La Main à la pâte"<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>, where he has been particularly involved in international dissemination (Europe, Latin America, China, French-speaking Africa...)
He was appointed a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on 20 December 2003<ref name="apds" />. He was promoted to the rank of Commandeur of the [[Légion d'Honneur|Légion d'Honneur]] on 13 July 2007.
He is the author of about a hundred publications and several books, including:
* Punctual defects in metals (Masson, 1967
* Physics of Materials (Ellipsse) and Physics of Materials (John Wiley)
* Teaching science (Odile Jacob, 2002)
* The Wisdom of the Physicist, (L'œil neuf, 2005)
* Children and science, with Georges Charpak and Pierre Léna (Odile Jacob, 2005)
* Teaching, communicating, (Le Pommier, 2008)
* Sixteenth notes (Le Pommier, 2010)
* Language and science, with Alain Bentolila (Plon, 2014)
* A shell in the hollow of the ear (Odile Jacob, 2018)
With Jean-Michel Molkhou, Philip Boenhoffer and Frédéric Fortineau, he won a 1st Prize unanimously at the CEM (European Chamber Music Competition).
== Scientific work ==
A [[Mining engineering|mining engineer]] (Paris) with a [[doctorate]] in science, he worked at the [[French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission|Commissariat à l'énergie atomique]] and then at the École polytechnique on the physics of materials and in particular on the study of the interaction of particles with solids and the effects of [[irradiation]], placing his work at the border between academic research and applications.
This work focused on:
* The effects of radiation on solids. Having discovered the phenomenon of very low-temperature growth of [[uranium]] irradiated by [[Neutron|neutrons]] and explained theoretically (with Jean Blin) the "exaggerated swelling" by fission gases in [[Nuclear fuel|nuclear fuels]], he developed (with Florence Rullier) the selective displacement of atoms in a binary alloy, notably [[superconductor]] and studied (with Jean Leteurtre, Libero Zuppiroli and Jacques Dural) the "induced flow" (by irradiation) of various metallic and ionic materials.
* The study of punctual defects in [[Metal|metals]] and in particular that of gaps in [[silver]]. He discovered and studied the strong interaction with the included [[Oxygen|oxygen atoms]].
* The channelling of [[Proton|protons]] and [[Alpha particle|alpha particles]] into [[Crystal|crystals]]. Having developed (with Jean Mory and Georges Désarmot) the "canaligraphic" method, he demonstrated the decanalising power of most crystalline defects, and in particular the dislocations for which he established the theory and measured the effect.
* The development (with René Boucher et al.) of long-lasting batteries for [[Artificial cardiac pacemaker|pacemakers]] and various anti-tumour devices based on [[Transuranium element|transuranic elements]].
