This document, which you can download, presents the conceptual design of an upgrade of Synchrotron SOLEIL accelerators, beamlines and infrastructure. The project is planned in two phase of 5 years (...)

Porous products such as mousses, bread or pastries represent a significant portion of frozen food products; yet few studies have focused on the mechanisms involved at the microscopic scale during (...)

One of the possible outcomes of the excitation of a surface by energetic particles is the desorption of molecules adsorbed on that surface. This phenomenon has been an object of fundamental study in (...)

On July 5th, the "Astrochemistry and Origins" team at Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS, Orsay;CNRS / Paris-Saclay), in collaboration with the SMIS beamline, started the analysis of several Ryugu (...)

An interdisciplinary team has revealed the mechanisms behind the exceptional preservation of 4,000-year-old textile remains from the Ancient East. The imaging of these archaeological samples in the (...)

On June 8 and 9, 2021, we welcomed a group of 4 laureates of the physics Olympics, from Maxence Van Der Meersch high school in Roubaix (France), accompanied by their teacher.

Early in June 2021, researchers from the CEA in Cadarache and the MARS beamline studied the chemistry of a cross-section of spent nuclear fuel using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Another technique, X (...)

The urgent need for low consumption electronic devices calls for new materials which could be operated at fast speed with lower cost. 2D materials hold strong promise to that extent. Here we show that (...)

In all living organisms, genomic DNA is made up of four nucleotide bases: A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. All, except genomic DNA of certain bacteriophages (viruses (...)

Subduction zones are extraordinarily complex shear-zone regions in the Earth. To understand their dynamics, it is important to investigate the deformation behavior and microstructure of rocks being (...)

Diatomic molecules are omnipresent in our environment, as well as in the air we breathe, but if we increase pressure by gradually bringing them closer together, how long do we continue to refer to (...)

With this fourth meeting with Julie Gordon, doctoral student at the MONARIS laboratory and at the SOLEIL synchrotron, we keep discovering the various places where she is led by her research work on (...)
