| Research reveals exotic quantum states in double-layer graphene |
| Researchers from Brown and Columbia Universities have demonstrated previously unknown states of matter that arise in double-layer stacks of graphene, a two-dimensional nanomaterial. These new states, known as the fractional quantum Hall effect, arise from the complex interactions of electrons both within and across graphene layers. |

| A high-performance unipolar N-type thin-film transistor |
| Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) report a unipolar n-type transistor with a world-leading electron mobility performance of up to 7.16 cm2 V-1 s-1. This achievement heralds an exciting future for organic electronics, including the development of innovative flexible displays and wearable technologies. Researchers worldwide are on the hunt for novel materials that can improve the performance of basic components required to develop organic electronics. |

Question 1: Could you briefly introduce the laboratory you direct and describe the CIBOX project?
The Crismat Laboratory, established in 1986, is a crystallography and materials science laboratory under the joint supervision of the CNRS, ENSICAEN, and UNICAEN. We are one of the leading European research laboratories in the field of sustainable, smart materials with remarkable properties. We produce approximately 120 ACL publications per year and have received numerous awards, including the Solid State Chemistry Prize in 2018. Regarding the CIBOX project, the main objective of this three-year project is to establish a sustainable French production of oxide targets with improvements in reproducibility, purity, density, homogeneity, and cost. |
