More than 10 years of opening to our users: here is for SOLEIL an opportunity to take stock of the important results obtained thanks to the beamlines during this period. A series of thematic brochures has been created to present the major scientific contributions of Synchrotron SOLEIL. After the Medical Diagnosis and Prognosis, discover in this #2 issue what SOLEIL brought... on our plates!
SOLEIL contributes to improving the safety of food, as well as its nutritional and organoleptic qualities, notably through a strong partnership with INRA, and by hosting researchers from major institutes and schools in the agri-food sector.
We invite you to discover SOLEIL's contribution to these major societal challenges.
