What if robots didn’t replace humans, but collaborated with us?
\r\n
\r\nOn the occasion of the exhibition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?, on view at Archizoom from 9 September to 5 December 2026, we invite you to explore a selection of scientific and popular science books, as well as science fiction novels dedicated to human-robot interactions, a theme at the heart of the exhibition.
\r\n
\r\nThis selection offers different perspectives on robotics, automation, work, and the future forms of collaboration between humans and machines.
\r\n
\r\nAll documents can be borrowed according to the Library’s standard borrowing conditions.
\r\n
\r\nDiscover the selection at the Espace Découverte from 5 October to 7 December 2026, as well as online.

Chirality is omnipresent in nature through a fundamental coupling between chirality and angular momentum. Despite extensive experimental evidence, the underlying mechanisms of this coupling remain debated. Here, we will explore how chiral magnetic textures can be stabilized in altermagnets, a new class of magnetism. Turning to structurally chiral magnetic molecules, we will show that chirality is directly linked to their intrinsic magnetic moments. Bringing both together, we will discuss how molecular design can control spin phenomena at hybrid chiral molecule-magnet interfaces. Our findings pave a pathway towards functional \"chiraltronic\" devices – turning a fundamental puzzle into a technological opportunity.
