We are glad to announce the 2^nd International Paris-Saclay Workshop on Nanodiamonds that will be held on October 13-15, 2025, at ENS Paris-Saclay, on University Paris Saclay campus.

This series of workshop (first edition hold in 2023) aims to bring together a broad range of physicists, chemists and life scientists working on advanced synthesis and characterizations of nanodiamonds and their use for nanomedecine, quantum sensing and energy applications.

Confirmed keynote speakers are:

• Olga Shenderova (Adamas Nanotechnology, United States):

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

• Masazumi Fujiwara (Department of Chemistry, Okayama University, Japan):

¹²C enriched Fluorescent Nanodiamonds for biomedical quantum sensing applications,

• Quan Li (Department of Physics, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China):

Fluorescent Nanodiamonds for Bioapplications,

• Silvia Orlanducci (Tor Vergata University, Rome, Italy) :

Nanodiamonds/gold hybrids and solvated electrons

• Arsène Chemin (ILM, Lyon, France):

Advanced characterizations of nanodiamonds by synchrotron-based techniques,

The deadline for abstract submission is April 23, 2025.

The topics covered are:

• Bottom-up synthesis of nanodiamonds (intrinsic, doped, color centers, hybrids),
• Surface chemistry and colloidal properties,
• Advanced characterizations including operando and synchrotron-based techniques,
• Bio-applications (drug delivery, biomarkers, sensors),
• Color centers and quantum sensing applications,
• Energy applications
• Catalysis

Notifications for oral presentations will be given by the end of May 2025.

 We are looking forward to meet you during the 2^nd International Paris-Saclay Workshop on Nanodiamonds !
