Our ecosystem
The Institute for advanced materials and nanotechnologies brings together research teams from 9 laboratories, creating synergies between around 440 researchers and staff from Aix Marseille Université, CNRS and Polytech.
The Research units
- Marseille Interdisciplinary Centre for nanoscience (CINaM)
- Provence institute for materials, microelectronics and nanosciences (IM2NP)
- Institute for radical chemistry (ICR)
- Marseille institute for molecular science (ISM2)
- Fresnel institute
- Divided materials, interfaces, reactivity, electrochemistry (MADIREL)
- Centre for theoretical physics (CPT)
- Laboratory for plasma lasers and photonic processes (LP3)
- Physics of the interactions of ions and molecules (PIIM)
Our research initiatives
The Institute for advanced materials and nanotechnologies (AMUTech) is the project for a multidisciplinary training, research and innovation institute at Aix Marseille Université, at the crossroads of materials sciences, physics and chemistry “from atoms to materials” and nanotechnology engineering sciences. Its aim is to study condensed matter and its new applications by controlling its physical, chemical and quantum properties down to the nanometre scale.
Within this framework, AMUtech offers a range of activities for researchers, teacher-researchers, engineers and postdoctoral/PhD students in its laboratories: launching calls for research projects, organising or co-organising theme days and creating joint research teams.

Testimonials
I was coordinator of 2 AMUtech projects. The first (AAP 2021 - MADIREL/IM2NP) focused on the development of nanopowders for CO2 sensor applications. We have set up a new process that is currently being evaluated for patent registration. The second project (AAP2022 - MADIREL/CINAM) focused on the stability of sulfur confined in porous carbons for CO2 storage applications. The collaboration initiated thanks to the Institute led to the drafting and subsequent award of an ANR-PRC project (AAP2023).
