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

This series of workshops (the first edition was held 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.

Keynote speakers

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

Mark Hui (Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan):

Nanodiamond Scintillator: A Novel Approach to Profiling EUV and Soft X-ray Beams for Photolithography

Topics covered:

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
