Morizot, Olivier; Audureau, Eric; Briend, Jean-Yves; Hagel, Gaetan; Boulc'h, Florence – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
In this article, we present two concrete applications of the concept of the human element to chemistry education; starting with a course and experimental project on blue pigment synthesis and concluding with cross-disciplinary lessons and experiments on blue photography. In addition to the description of the content of these courses, we explore…

Morizot, O.; Selle, A.; Ferri, S.; Guyomarc'h, D.; Laugier, J. M.; Knoop, M. – European Journal of Physics, 2011
On the occasion of the laser's 50th anniversary, we performed a modern Fizeau experiment, measuring the speed of light with a laser beam passing over the city centre of Marseille. For a round trip distance of almost 5 km, the measurement has reached an uncertainty of about 10[superscript -4], mainly due to atmospheric fluctuations. We present the…
