What do the first few nanometers of the interface between a liquid and the surrounding gas look like, at the molecular level? Such a question is far from simple to be answered, and experimental (...)

Ferromagnetic materials* have a non-zero spontaneous magnetisation at the nanoscopic scale. However, due to the competition of forces at play in the material, the local magnetic moments can form (...)

On March 9, 2023, SOLEIL welcomed 15 college and high school teachers from the Versailles Academy for an unprecedented training day on the theme of art restoration and conservation. This is the first (...)

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a deadly neurodegenerative pathology that develops in individuals that have more than 35 consecutive glutamine amino acids at one extremity of a protein called huntingtin (...)

Physicists have for the first time synthesized and characterized a blue phosphorene sheet with a metallic-like electronic structure and thus discovered a new two-dimensional material with properties (...)

Training has been an essential part of the ExPaNDS project: to provide training material accessible to staff and users from Photon and Neutron (PaN) Research Infrastructures is one of the key (...)

In a crucial step towards understanding the mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, a research team has achieved a world first: finding the molecular mechanism by which the PCSK9 (...)

Working on materials for Circular Economy? Get access to European Research Infrastructures by submitting a proposal on ReMade@ARI portal.

Molecular clusters are aggregates of molecules that are held together non-covalently, by relatively weak forces such as hydrogen bonds and van-der-Waals forces. An interesting question is whether one (...)

Rare earth elements (REEs) are strategic metals strongly involved in low-carbon energy conversion. However, these emerging contaminants are increasingly disseminated into ecosystems, raising concern (...)

Chirality plays a fundamental role in molecular recognition processes, as those involved in metabolism. Molecular flexibility is also crucial in molecular recognition, allowing the interacting (...)

On February 1st, 2023, the Health & Well-Being scientific section of SOLEIL organised a day of presentations and discussions for biologists from the plateau de Saclay area, at the Institute for (...)
