The Kondo effect has undergone a tremendous renewal of interest since its
observation in several different types of nanostructures: in quantum dots,
in carbon nanotubes, in STM experiments on a single magnetic impurity... This
set of experiments open new directions toward a better understanding of the
Kondo effect in a mesoscopic environnement. For example, this may offer new
opportunities to probe the controversial Kondo screening cloud which has
never been detected so far. I will present new results concerning the
consequences of the finite size extension of such a cloud around a quantum
dot. More generally, I will also show how new exotic physics can emerge from
the realization of the Kondo effect in nanostructures.
