Our resources are finite. They have also become more difficult to secure. Geopolitical instability, conflicts, inflation and the geographical concentration of production mean that access to raw materials has become a strategic issue for many industries. Critical metals are a particularly striking example of this vulnerability. Lithium, cobalt, nickel, gallium and tungsten are essential to […]
Nanomaterials and critical resources: How to do more with less
As 2026 approaches, one conclusion is unavoidable: nanomaterials are no longer merely a “promising” field of innovation. They are becoming an essential technological foundation. All sectors and all industries undergoing transition will require the contribution of nanoparticles—energy, healthcare, electronics, and the environment. The good news is that the nanomaterials industry has now reached a sufficient […]
On the eve of 2026, a clear conclusion emerges
Nanomaterials are at the heart of many scientific and technological innovations. In recent weeks, three major advances have marked research: the use of nanoparticles for hydrocarbon decontamination, the development of materials combining strength and lightness for aerospace applications, and a promising discovery on the use of semiconductor nanomaterials for hydrogen production through photocatalysis. Nanomaterials for […]
Nanomaterials: this week’s latest innovations
SON will be attending CPHI 2024 in Milan. Every year for the past 35 years, CPHI has brought together thought leaders, innovators, and pioneers in the pharmaceutical industry. Join SON to explore its functionalized nanomaterials, nanocatalysts, and gold nanoparticles at BOOTH 6 SU 100. Meet SON at CPHI 2024 We are excited to announce that […]
SON will be present at CPHI in Milan from October 8 to 10, 2024
Stimulus package and nanocatalysts Two years ago, SON was granted a stimulus package for a joint project with the University of Burgundy. The project focused on the efficiency, reuse, and potential of our nanocatalysts. These nanocatalysts compensate for some of the problems encountered with conventional catalysis, such as high catalyst costs and the resulting pollution. […]
