LERMA - Laboratory for Studies of Radiation and Matter in Astrophysics and Atmospheres
LERMA (Laboratory for Studies of Radiation and Matter in Astrophysics and Atmospheres) is a joint research unit (UMR 8112) shared by the CNRS and 3 higher education institutions: the Paris Observatory (OP), Sorbonne University (SU) and Cergy Paris Université (CYU). These 3 institutions host the various components of the LERMA.

Activities
Research topics
The Laboratory brings together research lecturers from various fields: polymerists, electrochemists, inorganic chemists, surface and interface physicists.
Our main expertise concerns (interpenetrating) polymer networks and π-conjugated (macro)molecules (or electronically conductive polymers), with the specificity of going from the synthesis and physicochemical characterisation of materials to their integration in devices, which are then studied.
These skills and our multidisciplinarity allow us today to offer innovative solutions, and even technological breakthroughs, on cross-disciplinary and federative questions requiring structural, functional or stimulable materials. Today this approach is primarily applied to energy storage and conversion problems, “stimulable” materials and, more recently, the preservation and restoration of the tangible heritage.
