A New Therapeutic Approach Some cancer patients can now benefit from a new therapeutic approach: theranostics. But what exactly is it? This technique combines both the diagnosis and treatment of tumors, offering an integrated and targeted approach. This method allows not only the identification of tumors via imaging but also their direct treatment. It represents […]
Theranostics: a revolution in cancer treatment
R-Nano declarations: time to ensure compliance With every new year come obligatory R-Nano declarations. But what are they? Nanoparticles possess innovative properties that could revolutionise the chemistry and healthcare of tomorrow. And yet, there are concerns about their use. It’s therefore crucial that the use of nanomaterials be closely monitored by public authorities to ensure […]

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. […]

Coral reefs are critically endangered Global warming is a terrible threat to biodiversity. The effects on coral reefs and countless other organisms are already considerable. Coral reefs are veritable hotspots of marine biodiversity, and climate change is a direct and immediate threat to them. Rising ocean temperatures are already adversely affecting them. Oceanologists see the […]
What if nanoparticles could save the coral reefs?
We’re delighted to share some excellent news: SON has been awarded its CIR (Crédit d’impôt recherche – French research tax credit) accreditation for the next 3 years. What this means is that all our customers will be able to benefit from the research tax credit for their pursuits in research and development until 2026. The […]

Is hydrogen a clean energy source? Hydrogen is often heralded as the fuel of the future, promising a clean and efficient solution to growing energy needs. But why? When hydrogen (or dihydrogen, H2) is used as a source of energy, it is generally used to produce a reaction with oxygen in a fuel cell to […]
Hydrogen: the fuel of the future, but not without some hurdles.
Regulations affecting the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics are changing. EU Regulation 2024/858 has just been published. This long-awaited decision was taken following recommendations made by the EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). New regulations on nanomaterials and cosmetics This new regulation is a true milestone in the world of cosmetics. As it stands, […]
