Scientists working in the Molecular Biophysics Group at the University of Liverpool have discovered that a particular protein’s stability could contribute to the onset of neurodegenerative disease.

SOLEIL organizes with the Diagonale Paris-Saclay a Science Break entitled: “The crystal, precious stone for researchers”.

2D metallic states are highly promising for the microelectronics of tomorrow. Researchers managed to create such state with hexagonal symmetry at the bare surface of several insulating oxides.

On the AILES beamline at SOLEIL, the supersonic jet device associated with high-resolution infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy (Jet-AILES) brought definite proofs of the planarity of hydrogen (...)

This unique event took place at the same time at SOLEIL and in cities like Bidard, Cannes, Mérignac Toulon and Toulouse. With the help and support of experts of space industry, students, entrepreneurs (...)

We often classify the electrons in an atom as being either ‘core’ electrons—those closest to the nucleus— or ‘valence’ electrons, those involved in chemical bonding. Indeed, if the atom is part of a (...)

Technological and social progress has been driven by the mastery of new materials. Think of the massive change in our way of life brought about by the invention of steel or the profound social changes (...)

When exceptionally preserved, hair, wools, or skin samples can have a high archaeological value. The best-preserved specimens have often benefited from specific environmental conditions that slowed (...)
