Demonstration of the Polishing Process for Large Sapphire Crystals
As part of a regional initiative to develop large sapphire crystals for use in extreme physics experiments and defense […]
The IP2I, Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis, is involved in most areas of subatomic physics, including particle physics, neutrinos, nuclear structure and quark-gluon plasma. The institute also has strong expertise in astro-particles and cosmology, with research into dark matter, dark energy and gravitational waves. It also conducts interdisciplinary research into the environment, health and nuclear energy. The institute is home to the LMA (Advanced Materials Laboratory), a national IN2P3 platform that has developed the world’s most reflective mirrors, which were used in the discovery of gravitational waves.
