Excellence in nanofabrication and characterization
The ARCEN-Carnot platform brings together cutting-edge equipment for the nanofabrication and nanocharacterization of advanced materials, photonics, and biology. It also supports research in mechanics, electronics, and computer science.
Composed of 24 technical experts (from technicians to engineers), ARCEN-Carnot excels in the fabrication of functional nano-objects and the physicochemical characterization of materials. Accessible to academic and industrial partners, it is also a recognized training center, making it one of the leading platforms in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
Supported by the region and the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research), the platform is part of the RENATECH+ network and collaborates with specialized centers, enabling in-situ analysis of materials under real-world conditions.
The ARCEN-Carnot platform is divided into 4 centers
The Micro/Nano Characterization Centre (CMNC) thus provides technical support to the scientific community and to industry, by making high-performance equipment available to them.
The Mechanical Resource Centre‘s mission is to assist research through the design, production and adaptation of various specific scientific equipment.
The Computer and Electronic Development Centre (CDIE) is intended to meet the computer and electronic needs of all users of the ICB Laboratory.
The NanoFabrication Centre (CNF) provides development and characterization equipment for national and European projects, as well as for the entire scientific community.
