Summary
The CNRS Gold Medal for 2003 was awarded to physicist Albert Fert for his discovery of giant magnetoresistance and his contribution to spintronics.
From his birthplace at the foot of the Pyrenees, Albert Fert shares his memories and describes his vocation as a scientist.
Scientists from Albert Fert's laboratory, CNRS-Thalès, in Orsay (Université Paris-Sud), present the major lines of their research: magnetic tunnel junctions, new materials, spin coherence, and quantum calculations.
