A strange sphere housing a giant 1-million-volt electron microscope in Toulouse.

A strange silver sphere springs up in the center of a bare lawn. For a moment, one imagines a science-fiction novel. Almost! You're at CEMES: Centre d'Élaboration de Matériaux et d'Études Structurales. The steel sphere, 25 m in diameter, was inaugurated in 1959 by General de Gaulle. It houses a giant 1 million volt electron microscope! You're sure to be impressed by the huge generator at its center. An extraordinary example of twentieth-century heritage. Artists in residence at the CNRS laboratory regularly exhibit their work in collaboration with the Musée des Abattoirs. A unique venue.

Faire de l'argent, de la communication, de la pub, pour que les particuliers dépensent leur argent dans des rénovations énergétiques puis, de l'équipement économique, c'est bien. Mais, le secteur public (CNRS, CNES, universités, mairie, métropole, département, région, organises publics en tous genres) devraient d'abord montrer l'exemple en lançant des plans d'investissements pour travaux de modernisation et de réorganisation.
