Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of protein aggregates (inclusions) in certain brain regions. The secondary structure of these protein aggregates is (...)

The half-metallic nature of Fe3O4 has been demonstrated using the state-of-the-art photoemission set-up of the CASSIOPEE beamline. This a crucial result because it shows that the details of the (...)

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have revealed the crystal structure of a bacterial enzyme that offers clues on how electrons in the body move from one protein molecule to another. Their (...)

The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is the result of a partnership between the European Union and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). This organization (...)

Any improvement in battery performance will come about through a better understanding of the overall functioning of the various components: electrodes, electrolytes and interfaces. Two studies are (...)

Metal-insulator transitions are one of the most spectacular phenomena in condensed matter…

Studies of tiny structural variations near the quantum critical point for the metal BaVS3. We now know that the presence of strong correlations between electrons can induce unexpected properties in a (...)

Until now, spintronics has shone particularly in the development of efficient electronic components. However, it is also necessary to transmit the encoded information over mesoscopic distances between (...)

Shortly after the discovery of the remarkable properties of graphene, researchers from French, Swiss, American and Moroccan laboratories have undertaken studies to see if silicon, the closest element (...)

Characterization of the mirrors used on SOLEIL beamlines to focus the radiation to dimensions of a few hundred nanometers requires the development of measuring instruments that are not commercially (...)

Together with protein phosphorylation, protein ubiquitination plays one of the most important role in cellular regulation. Defects in both signaling pathways are involved in cancer and other disease (...)

The surface of ferromagnetic Zn 1-xCo xO wurtzite epilayers has been studied by coupling atomic force microscopy and advanced x-ray spectroscopy. It was found that, even in high-quality epilayers, the (...)
