Researchers of Toulouse (CEMES), Grenoble (LTM) and Sfax have studied the scattering of light by isolated silicon-germanium nanowires. They showed that the nanowire color can be modified as function of the nanowire diameter, composition and...

An experiment was carried out using the ELFIE laser facility of LULI at Ecole Polytechnique (France) in order to test collimation of high-power produced plasma jets by strong magnetic fields, a topic of interest for so-called laboratory...

Beam splitters exist for matter waves just as for light waves. However, physicists cannot yet manipulate beams of matter as well as beams of light. A novel matter-beam splitter based on crossed lasers provides new control knobs over the matter...

At LNCMI efforts have been performed in order to introduce Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) in pulsed high-field magnets. Since pulsed fields of up to 100 T have been reported while the highest continuous fields don’t exceed 45 T, the...

The new Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) I2TEM financed by the CPER «MET ultime» and the EQUIPEX project «MIMETIS», is now working in CEMES. I2TEM is the result of cooperation between CEMES-CNRS and Hitachi High technology to design and...
