Of the many physico-chemical analysis and imaging techniques that enable a better understanding, insight or assessment of the state of preservation of cultural heritage objects, the techniques that (...)

Anthropogenic activities have released considerable amounts of radioactive “hot” particles into the environment. Predicting their behavior and reactivity therefore requires their thorough (...)

Because of the sanitary context, SOLEIL’s participation to the Science Fair 2020 is maintained, but in a different way. SOLEIL has been participating to the “ Village des sciences Paris-Saclay” for (...)

Today, quantum dots, nanowire arrays, and buried solid-state nanostructures are examples of components used in innovative functional devices for photonics and optoelectronics, including photonic (...)

More than 10 years after the opening to our users, SOLEIL takes stock of the important results obtained thanks to the beamlines during this period. Thus, we invite you to discover a series of thematic (...)

As requested by its Board in December 2018, the year 2019 saw the beginning of work on a Conceptual Design report to prepare for the upgrade of SOLEIL’s installations. This work was done in parallel (...)

Of the 200+ molecules that have been detected in space, the Buckminsterfullerene (C 60), shaped exactly like a football, is extraordinarily elegant and symmetric. When exposed to harsh interstellar (...)

In the combat against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the French National Research Agency (ANR) launched a call for projects at the beginning of March 2020, for the funding of targeted research topics on the (...)

A third video with French subtitles and dubbed in French Sign Language (LSF), is now available.

A scientific collaboration between Lund University (Sweden) and the SMIS beamline of Synchrotron SOLEIL elucidated for the first time the conformation of nanoscale amyloid aggregates. This study was (...)

At SOLEIL, initial experiments, notably in the case of industrial experiments, have resumed in compliance with the current regulations for the safety of all.

When a magnetic material is shined on with a laser pulse, it will locally demagnetize. This magnetization loss occurs in an ultra-fast timescale, here less than a picosecond (10 -12 s). In some (...)
