Public lecture on “Des matériaux de dernière génération aux outils d’analyse de pointe : un duo incontournable”

Abstract : Developing new materials is essential to address the challenges of tomorrow, whether it is producing and storing energy, designing new catalytic solutions, protecting the environment, or improving health. Understanding the materials of the future can no longer rely on a single analytical method: it requires combining complementary techniques and exploring matter across multiple scales. Electron microscopy plays a key role in this endeavor, allowing us today to observe nanomaterials in action with unparalleled resolution, under conditions close to their formation or real-world use. The conference will also highlight the complementarity between electron microscopy and other advanced techniques, such as those based on synchrotron radiation.. 

This conference will be presented jointly by:

Prof. Clément SANCHEZ, Collège de France – USIAS (conférence en français)

Clément Sanchez est professeur émérite au Collège de France, titulaire de la chaire Chimie des matériaux hybrides et d’une chaire à l’USIAS de Strasbourg. Ancien directeur du Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris, il a mené une grande partie de sa carrière au CNRS, où il a développé la « chimie douce » pour la synthèse de nanomatériaux hybrides. Ses recherches portent sur la nanochimie et les propriétés des gels et matériaux hybrides organiques-inorganiques, avec une forte inspiration tirée du vivant et un souci d’adaptation aux enjeux environnementaux. Lauréat de plusieurs prix, il est également membre de différentes académies des sciences.

Franco-Indian mini-workshop on two-dimensional ferroic materials and devices

This workshop is organised with the support of CEFIPRA, the French and Indian Ministries of Foreign Affairs and the ITI QMAT.

Around twenty oral presentations are scheduled.
Speakers have been selected from both academia and industry.
We will be discussing aspects relating to these materials, their fundamental properties and their applications, particularly in the field of memory and information echnologies.

For more information, you can refer to the attached flyer and the workshop website :
