In Saint-Tropez, at the end of the peninsula of La Moutte, not far away from the harbour, a sumptuous castle pleases the curious who venture out of the village.

The Château de La Moutte was built in the nineteenth century by Emile Ollivier, Napoleon III's First Secretary and Blandine Liszt's husband, daughter of famous composer Franz Liszt and Marie D'Agoult. Since it was built, the castle has received many artists. Man of letters, the Republican Emile Ollivier, welcomed home writers, musicians and politicians, to share ideas and thinks about art, literature, philosophy... In the twentieth century, this tradition has been perpetuating by Annette Troisier Diaz, Ollivier's granddaughter, through a summer music festival! After her death, she assigned to the violinist Jean-Philippe Audoli the task to perpetuate spirit of the place.

So, every year for 13 years, under the leadership of Jean-Philippe Audoli, Les Nuits du Château de la Moutte resonates in the courtyard of the castle. Great classical, jazz and dance musicians and comedians have met for wonderful poetic soirées.

In 2013, the festival will welcome : the pianists Plamena Mangova, Boris Berezovsky, Nikolai Lugansky ; winners of the International Competition Belgium's Queen Elisabeth ; the flamenco dancer Israel Galván.

Last, but not least, on the mythical Canebiers beach, be there with two of the world's premier jazz musicians: Bireli Lagrene (the 30th of July) and Richard Galliano with his Quartet (the 3rd of August) !

3D Printing of Liquid Metals at Room Temperature

Michael Dickey
Published on Jul 8, 2013

Researchers at NC State have developed a way to print liquid metals into 3D structures at room temperature. The structures are stabilized by a thin oxide 'skin' that forms on the liquid metal. The approaches shown here represent new ways to direct write metals in 3D. In addition, the resulting components can, in principle, self-heal ( "Self-healing stretchable wires" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfAOEt...) and be ultra-stretchable ( "Ultra-stretchable wires" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlVuIK...).

The paper, "3D Printing of Free Standing Liquid Metal Microstructures," is published online in Advanced Materials. For more information, visit http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10....

The work was supported by the National Science Foundation.
