The CEMES/CNRS covers a wide range of scientific activities aimed at the manufacturing, the understanding, the modeling and the manipulation of matter at the atomic scale. Physicists and chemists invent and manufacture materials, nano-materials and molecules with specific and desired properties, and integrate them in demonstration devices.

At CEMES, scientific research develops within three large groups: Crystalline materials under stress (MC2), Nanomaterials (nMat ) and Nanosciences(GNS).
