Nanotechnology Research – Directory

Improving lithium energy storage systems is the aim of the EU-funded ALISTORE (Advanced lithium energy storage systems based on the use of nano-powders and nano-composite electrodes/electrolytes) Network of Excellence.

The SiNaPS laboratory is committed to basic research on the optical and physical properties of low-dimensional semiconductor structures and their applications to nano optics and nano electronics.

(Website in French) One of the largest applied research laboratories in Micro and Nanotechnologies in Europe, it focuses on microelectronics and microsystems on silicon, systems for biology and health, and optoelectronic and components.

The CEMES goals are for one part to establish links between the atomic architecture and the physical and chemical properties of a material or a nano-material and for another part to design, synthesise and study the first prototypes of molecular nano-machines, studied one at a time.

Nanomaterials (electronic, magnetic and optical) fabrication and analysis.

The Centre de Compétences Nanosciences Nord Ouest (C’nano Nord Ouest) gathers laboratories from Nord-Pas de Calais, Picardie, Basse-Normandie, Haute-Normandie, Bretagne, Pays de la Loire and Poitou-Charentes regions.

Representing several dozen research teams from across the EU (mostly French), this organization is attempting to be something of a unifying body for nanotube research in Europe

This network represents a new type of innovation funding set by the French Ministry or Research. The aim of these networks is to promote technological transfers between public basic research and industry in government marked priority fields. RMNT is thus opened to all laboratories and companies working in these areas.

(In French) This research group of the French CNRS researches the electronic structure of nanomaterials.

(In French) This research group of the French CNRS deals with all aspects of researching and developing nanoelectronics.

(In French) This research group of the French CNRS researches nanowires for applications in NEMS, nanoelectronics and semiconductors.

A 2-year international course born of the collaboration between three European engineering institutes: Institut national polytechnique de Grenoble (France), cole polytechnique fdrale de Lausanne (Suisse) and Politecnico di Torino (Italy).

Research areas include nanomaterials and nanomagnetism.

A large French clean room facility with competences in Micro and Nano electronics.

The Laboratory, a fully-owned unit of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), carries out its research activities within the general context of the nanosciences, at the cross-roads of quantum optics and electronics, of physics, chemistry and biology, of materials science and device physics.
