It targets applications in the fields of defense, space, civil security, energy transition and health.

Denis Spitzer is the laureate of the CNRS 2022 Innovation Medal. Research professor at the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (northeastern France), Denis Spitzer has developed two processes that facilitate the study, formulation, and production of particles smaller than a micron – an unprecedented feat. These techniques have made it possible, for the first time, to continuously produce industrial quantities of compounds for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agri-food industries,…

Aujourd'hui, 90 % des médicaments, dont près de 40 % des anticancéreux, se dissolvent de manière non-satisfaisante, ce qui gêne leur absorption et impose des doses élevées. Face à ce défi, Denis Spitzer a inventé au laboratoire Nanomatériaux pour les systèmes sous sollicitations extrêmes (CNRS/Institut franco-allemand de recherches Saint Louis/Université de Strasbourg) deux procédés qui facilitent l'étude, la formulation et la production de particules d'une taille en-dessous du micron qu'aucun…

An explosive in the form of nanopowder, observed using an atomic force microscope. With a view to obtaining the finest possible diamond nanoparticles, research scientists have developed a nanocrystallisation process by turning a microstructured charge (5-100 µm) into a nanostructured charge (50-200 nm). They then detonated this nanostructured charge in order to synthesise nanodiamonds whose size (1-3 nm) is suitable for use in various fields, such as medicine, cryptography, optical protection,…
