Quantum Design : quantum mirror

En 1911, K. Onnes et son équipe mesurent la résistance électrique dans du mercure.

Ils découvrent qu’à quelques degrés du zéro absolu, ce matériau devient soudain supraconducteur.

Ils ouvrent ainsi la voie à un des champs de recherche les plus féconds encore aujourd’hui.

En 1988, les équipes d’A. Fert et de P. Grünberg découvrent qu’un champ magnétique modifie fortement la résistance électrique de couches minces.

C’est la magnétorésistance géante qui a permis depuis l’invention des disques durs et a ouvert la voie à une nouvelle recherche, la spintronique.

En 2004, A. Geim et K. Novoselov parviennent à mesurer les propriétés électriques du graphène, un matériau composé d’une seule couche d’atomes de carbone.

Ils réussissent à contrôler le nombre d’électrons qui y circulent.

Ils ouvrent ainsi la voie à de nouveaux composants électroniques.

Students in scientific illustration have collaborated with a physicist around four major discoveries of quantum physics: the transistor, graphene, Bose-Einstein condensates and new superconductors. For each discovery, they decided to create a laboratory pop-up and a poster in the same graphic style, inspired by the years when the discovery took place. Here is the result.
