Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N)

ORSAY CEDEX

http://www.c2n.universite-paris-saclay.fr/fr/

The C2N - Centre for Nanosciences and Nanotechnology develops research in the field of material science, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, nanobiotechnologies and microsystems, as well as in nanotechnologies. In all these fields, its research activites cover all the range from fondamental to applied science. The C2N Technological Facility technology facility are hosted in a clean room of 2 900 sqm, dedicated to micro and nanofabrication processes, to the growth, the epitaxy and the characterization of materials.

This exhibition is a response to the dual challenge of using images rather than words to "speak" about research and engaging in a dialogue with the public. Beyond images' pure beauty, they are also a research and investigation tool which enables scientists to decipher their own results. Photographs taken using all techniques - from cameras to drones and microscopes - offer another vision of research which can be surprising, unexpected, indecipherable and sometimes essential.
