About the Nanomechanics Team

The nanomechanics group is a group of researchers from Laboratoire Charles Coulomb, University of Montpellier, aiming at studying physics of mechanical objects in the ‘nano’ world.

The nanomechanics team is a group started upon recruitment of Adrien Noury (the PI) in october 2017.

Since then, the group started its scientific activities by developing its own fabrication and measurement protocols.

Our team is always looking for new talents to join the adventure
