Fluorescent cross-shaped dyes reaching into the near-infrared
Researchers from CEISAM (CNRS/Nantes Université) and the Interdisciplinary Center for Nanoscience of Marseille (CINaM, CNRS/Aix-Marseille Université) have developed a new family of cross-shaped organic dyes whose optical properties can be tuned by modifying their molecular architecture. These original molecules consist of an aromatic core bearing electron-donating and electron-accepting groups along two perpendicular directions. This cross-shaped...

Honey Harvest from the CEISAM Laboratory Beehives
The honey harvest from the CEISAM laboratory hives has just been completed. Installed on the ISOMER laboratory site, these hives are maintained throughout the year thanks to the joint involvement of members from both laboratories, who closely monitor the bees and take part in the honey harvest. This spring’s harvest was exceptional: nearly 100 kg...
