Making nanodevices energy-autonomous

How can we power ever-smaller devices—such as miniaturized sensors or medical implants—without relying on an external energy source? To meet this challenge, researchers are exploring the properties of materials at the nanoscale. The ANR SCENIC project is part of this effort. Its goal is to gain a better understanding of how electrical charges behave at the surface of semiconductor nanowires, in order to control them more precisely.

Infinite zoom into the infinitely small

This digital artwork, created by Australian artist Luke Conroy and supported by C2N, offers a visual experience based on an infinite zoom—a gradual journey into the infinitely small. Designed from photographs submitted by C2N staff, it embodies a process of collaborative creation. The work takes the form of a collective visual memory, composed of fragments of everyday life in the laboratory. It reflects the research conducted at C2N, where each …
