Centre for Materials Elaboration and Structural Studies

The "Centre d’Élaboration de Matériaux et d’Etudes Structurales" (CEMES) is a CNRS laboratory located in Toulouse, France.

CEMES is a public fundamental research laboratory specializing in solid state physics, nanosciences, molecular chemistry and materials science.

Its activities cover a spectrum from synthesizing (nano)materials and molecular systems to study and modelling of their structures and physical properties (optical, mechanical, electronic and magnetic) and their integration in devices.

[1] An important part of the laboratory’s experimental activity is studying and manipulating individual objects whose characteristic sizes are at the nanometric or atomic scales.

[3] In contact with the academic community, CEMES is involved in training given at the university at every level: Bachelor, Master and Doctorate.
