Women in business : become a leader

C2N is proud to have welcomed, once again this year, the participants of the "Women In business become a leader" programme designed by Université Paris Saclay in partnership with the international Women Initiative Foundation. The aim of this programme is to develop the leadership skills of women at the start of their professional careers to help them rise to positions of responsibility.
It was an excellent opportunity for discussion, highlighting the diversity and richness of the women's backgrounds.

Key words : Diversity Equality Inclusion

Flexible nitride nanowires light emitting diodes

Presently, flexible light sources mainly use organic materials integrated on lightweight and flexible plastic substrates. However, organic LEDs present a much lower luminance and a shorter lifetime in comparison to the LEDs based on inorganic nitride semiconductors. The inorganic semiconductor devices in their bulk form are mechanically rigid. Polymer-embedded nanowires (NWs) offer an elegant solution to create flexible optoelectronic devices, which combine the high efficiency and the long lifetime …

Coherent control of an artificial atom with few photons

In an optical quantum network, the information is transferred from one node to an other through light. A possible building block for such quantum network is an atom in a cavity. Ideally, every photon sent on the node should interact with the atom. Researchers at C2N, in collaboration with Institut Néel (Grenoble, France) have demonstrated the coherent control of an artificial atom with few photons. The quantum node …
