The energy crisis, which is currently affecting the world and has very strong impacts on society as a whole (individuals, businesses, research, administration ...), does not spare SOLEIL, which had to (...)

From next-generation displays for stretchable and bendable cellphones to electronic tattoos that can measure biometrics for improved health, the understanding of conjugated polymer* self-assembly is (...)

SOLEIL Synchrotron staff wishes you a very happy new year!

Iron is an essential element for life. It is used in the form of iron-sulfur clusters as a constituent of active sites of enzymes involved in vital processes such as the storage of energy in ATP (...)

The purpose of this work is to study the dependence of the electronic structure of WSe 2 – which determines all its properties – with the direction of the electric polarization of a ferroelectric (...)

The Synchrotron SOLEIL has received funding within the France Relance plan to modernize its chilled water production station. To learn more, this video, filmed during the summer of 2022 when the new (...)

In order to obtain LCD screens with high display quality - better defined tones, wider color palette - research on the semiconductor nanocrystals at the origin of the pixels constituting the images is (...)

Extremely intense light pulses generated by Free-electron lasers (FELs) are versatile tools in research. In the X-ray range, they can be deployed to analyze the detail of atomic structures of a wide (...)
