Iridium oxide is the key catalyst for the production of green hydrogen through water electrolysis in acid but it is very rare and expensive. In order to optimize its use as an electrocatalyst, it is (...)

On Friday January 28, 2022, we learned, with a profound sadness, of the passing of François Baudelet, Director of Research at CNRS and in charge of the ODE beamline at the SOLEIL Synchrotron.

Microscopic imaging of the brain to identify diseases has traditionally relied on histology, where the brain tissue is embedded into paraffin wax and thinly sliced for investigation under a microscope (...)

Researchers from the Fundación Instituto Leloir in Argentina together with scientists from PROXIMA-1 & PROXIMA-2A beamlines were able to describe at a molecular level the conformational changes (...)

A large part of the hundreds of millions of tons of plastic produced each year ends up in nature where it accumulates. Exposed to environmental physicochemical conditions, it fragments into billions (...)

The generation of green fuels (e.g. H 2) is nowadays a very important research topic associated to the growing energy demand. Photocatalysis appears as a challenging path to produce H 2 just from (...)

The properties of materials are the basis of many applications; explaining them is also sometimes still a challenge for researchers. The most familiar physical property is the ability of a material to (...)

While energy consumption becomes a major challenge, achieving efficient light source become of utmost interest. This is not only true in the visible spectral range but also in the infrared. Currently (...)

From November 15 to 17, 2021, the international conference organized by INanoTheRad* : "Advanced Strategies for Radiotherapy: from the lab bench to medical application" brought together students and (...)

As sodium (Na) is more abundant and therefore less expensive than lithium, the Na-ion batteries are expected to be an alternative to the Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in energy storage systems. However, the (...)

Luminescent materials that continue to emit light after being illuminated find applications in our daily life, especially in lighting devices. For this type of application, two-dimensional (2D) (...)

Molecular electronics enables the development of breakthrough applications for photovoltaic panels, lighting, displays, sensors, flexible electronics, etc. It aims to offer an alternative to (...)
