Hydrogen (H 2), as an indispensable clean energy vector, can be produced by biomass decomposition powered by solar light (photoreforming). But a high decomposition extent is required to maximize H 2 (...)

Solvent molecules can easily alter the energy of the outermost electrons of an organic solute affecting the coloring of the solution, i. e. solvatochromism. Less obvious is the effect that solvation (...)

The ability to control the magnetic properties of a material by means of an electric field represents a "Holy Grail" for applications in the field of magnetic memories. For this reason, so-called (...)

Understanding the mechanisms of X-ray radiation damage in biological systems is of prime interest in medicine (radioprotection, X-ray therapy...). The soft X rays, with an energy between 100 - 1000 eV (...)

As presented previously , topological insulators are electrically insulating materials, but whose surface (on some atomic layers) is conductive. At the CASSIOPEE beamline, studies on Bi 1-xSb x alloys (...)

The next generation of wearable and stretchable electronics will rely on the development of low-cost, high-performance electronics using organic semiconductor films. Such development requires to (...)

Semiconductor nanocrystals are promising building block for optoelectronics. Over the past three decades, large progresses have been obtained on their synthesis to achieve size and shape control and (...)

Lamellar Metal Dichalcogenides* have emerged as a class of exceptional materials which exhibits remarkable electronic and chemical properties on the scale of a few monolayers. Scientists from Grenoble (...)

Recycling of Phosphorus (P) from waste streams needs to be increased for a sustainable society. The pulp and paper industry produces large amounts of nutrient (notably P)-rich sludges. Swedish (...)

The Pint of Science Festival is an international science communication event that will take place in a multitude of bars, simultaneously, from May 22nd to 24th in more than 20 countries!

Warning: this event will be held in French, except for the 5pm timeslot which will be in English. Registration link below. Since 2018, UNESCO has declared that May 16 is the International Day of Light (...)

After 15 years of opening to our users, SOLEIL takes stock of the important results obtained thanks to the beamlines during this period. Thus, we invite you to discover a series of thematic brochures (...)
