CESAM

CESAM (Complex and Entangled Systems from Atoms to Materials) develops activities in fundamental and applied research, in the scientific fields between the physics and chemistry of materials and atomic and nuclear physics, including complex and soft matter physics. Through its member labs, the CESAM research unit (UR) integrates a coherent ensemble of expertises, favoring multidisciplinary approaches for systems going from individual atoms to the most complex of materials.

In order to carry out its objectives in fundamental and applied research, the research unit is structured in 5 thematic groups which focus on :

• Macromolecular chemistry
• Chemistry of inorganic materials
• Physics of soft matter and complex systems
• Atomic and nuclear physics

Beyond their individual activities and fields of expertise, the groups collaborate in the development of several transversal research axes, in particular functional materials and granular matter.
