This dedicated space aims to help people understand the scientific advances of yesterday and today, and glimpse those of tomorrow. It has been designed as a gateway to Institut NÉEL’s research that can be adapted to all types of audiences.
Divided into three poles, “Physiquarium” brings the visitor to the heart of the laboratory’s research by allowing him to discover its latest advances but also to better understand the three main historical pillars on which the laboratory’s current research is based: magnetism, crystallography and low temperatures. Images, articles and videos located in an interactive terminal provide access to the most modern work of the laboratory’s research teams.
Magnetism is omnipresent in our daily life, most of the time without us even realizing it…
Precise knowledge of atomic arrangements allows to understand and optimize properties. This knowledge, as well as the improvement of synthesis methods, allows the realization of new materials with better properties.
In our daily lives, temperature is associated with the sensations of “hot” and “cold”. In physics, the temperature of an object is a measure of the average agitation energy of the atoms or molecules that compose it.
