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.

Photovoltaics explained in a comic

To make science accessible to everyone, this comic explains how solar panels work and the challenges of photovoltaics through a clear, colorful, and playful narrative. It was born from the collaboration between CNRS researchers and Marie-Charlotte Bellinghery – MACHA, an illustrator and science communication specialist, combining scientific expertise with visual creativity. C2N is very proud to have contributed, through the involvement of Amaury Delamarre and Stéphane Collin, to this collaborative …
