Physics, chemistry and engineering sciences at the service of innovative technologies and materials for industrial applications
The Carnot de Bourgogne Interdisciplinary Laboratory (ICB), CNRS-UBFC Mixed Research Unit has 300 physicists, chemists, engineers and technicians located in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, on the sites of Dijon, Le Creusot, Chalon-sur-Saône and Belfort (Sevenans). They are developing new functionalities in optics and for the materials of the future, intended for applications in industry (photonics, metallurgy, industry 4.0, etc.), medicine, high-speed optical communications, the processing of nanoscale information, energy and quantum technologies.
The ICB laboratory results from the merger of January 1, 2007 of three units:
- two UMR-CNRS (Mixed Research Units CNRS-University of Burgundy) located on the Campus of the Faculty of Sciences of Dijon, the Laboratory of Physics of the University of Burgundy and the Research Laboratory on the Reactivity of Solids,
- one more modest university reception team located in Le Creusot bringing together staff from the IUTs of Le Creusot, Chalon-sur-Saône and from Belfort-Montbéliard.
High-performance technological platforms

Interactions with the socio-economic world
The scientific teams of the ICB laboratory collaborate with companies to develop research projects whose results find direct socio-economic applications and thus contribute to the economic development of the territory. In the context of Investments for the Future (PIA), the ICB is co-founder and actor of the Graduate School EIPHI (Innovation through Physics and Engineering), coordinates two new Equipex+ SMARTLIGHT (intelligent photonics) and CALHIPSO (innovative compaction and assembly metal alloy) as well as a European network and an Erasmus Mundus on quantum technologies. The laboratory carries collaborative projects supported by Europe or the National Research Agency and is also co-founder of the exploratory PEPR (PIA4) DIADEME very recently selected on new generation materials (4D additive printing). The ICB is also a player in health engineering, in particular via the EquipEx IMAPPI on medical imaging.
Excellent scientific research
The interdisciplinary research of the laboratory forms a continuum from the fundamental to the applications. Its specialized activities in the fields of optical and electron microscopy, fiber optics, lasers, nanofabrication, quantum nanophotonics, nanomedicine, surface and interface analysis, reactivity, characterization and of materials (processes, fuel cell, powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, sintering, cements, sensors and non-destructive testing) are supported by 4 high-performance technological platforms which have made the reputation of the laboratory with projects of excellence. Multidisciplinary expertise is made available to research projects and at the service of clusters and companies in the Region and beyond (national and international).
