Cosmic rays and their interstellar medium environment (CRISM-2011) Cosmic rays are a major component of the interstellar medium. They share an equivalent energy density with the magnetic field and the interstellar gas. At low energies cosmic rays probably take an active part in the dynamics of the structures of the interstellar medium. They contribute to its ionisation. They produce a force through their pressure gradient over the magnetised fluid. They generate plasma waves and magnetic (...)

The 14th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE14) will be held from Sunday the 28th to Wednesday the 31st of August 2011, at Montpellier, France. It follows the successful ISE13 in Tokyo (Japan) in 2008.
Electrets and related phenomena continue to receive much interest both from the fundamental and applied point of views. Charge storage in insulators is crucial for many applications which involve different types of materials : organic, inorganic, hybrid, powder, thin & thick films, (...)
