Nanosciences et Innovation pour les Matériaux, la Biomédecine et l'Energie

Research unit

Description

NIMBE (Nanosciences and Innovation for Materials, Biomedicine and Energy) is a CEA-CNRS research unit that was created on January 1st, 2015. NIMBE chose a transverse scientific structure based on the proficiency of conception, shaping and material analysis from the micro-scale to the nano-scale, as well as the understanding of physical-chemistry mechanisms and their synergies at these scales. These approaches are mainly applied to major social issues such as (nano)materials for sustainable management of the energy, the environment or the treatment of information, biomedical diagnosis, patrimony?
