Both a work tool serving the entire scientific community and a research laboratory, SOLEIL contributes each week to the advancement of approximately thirty fundamental, applied, or industrial research subjects. We hope you will discover them under this heading, but you should not hesitate, either, to contact us to prepare a specific subject for any additional information, or so that we may put you in contact with one of our synchrotron specialists in medicine, biology, environment, geosciences, energy, nanotechnology, chemistry, materials, etc.
For an overview of the fourth year that SOLEIL has been operational and to provide the impetus to follow our 2012 results, we offer a selection of the scientific results for the past year from among approximately 400 scientific articles published in 2011.
“Seeing” the energy of molecules using synchrotron light December 4, 2011 French, Swedish and Japanese researchers have broken down a fundamental scientific barrier by developing, at the SOLEIL synchrotron, a cutting‐edge method to characterize the energy that binds atoms within a molecule. These results appear today in Nature Physics.
An earlier diagnosis to avoid kidney transplants November 22, 2011 An analytical technique using high brilliance infrared light produced by the SOLEIL synchrotron has been developed by teams from the CNRS, Paris Sud University, Tenon Hospital in Paris, and the Stoke-on-Trent Cancer Centre (GB) to study the calcification present in the kidneys of patients with renal failure.
