Magnetic Whirlpools Create Their Own Rhythms, Revealing New States of Matter

Study in Science shows how tiny magnetic structures can generate exotic quantum-like states on their own. Physicists at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), working with European collaborators, have discovered a surprising new way to control magnetism at the nanoscale. In a study published in Science, the team shows that microscopic “magnetic whirlpools” can create entirely new states of motion by using their own internal dynamics when …

What place for photovoltaics in France ? Analysis in the CNRS Journal

As photovoltaics are set to play a key role in France’s energy transition, their development raises major scientific, industrial, and societal challenges. In an article published in the CNRS Journal, Stéphane Collin, CNRS Research Director at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), analyses the strengths, limitations, and conditions for the sustainable deployment of photovoltaic solar energy in France. ► Read the full article Photo @adobe stock …
