Electron transfer between a molecule and a semiconductor surface is a central mechanism in devices such as dye-sensitised photovoltaics and water splitting photoelectrochemical cells. A collaboration (...)

The International Day of Light - Following the success of the International Year of Light in 2015, UNESCO has proposed a day dedicated to the celebration of light and light-related technologies: May (...)

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is an enveloped virus which can infect insects, cattle, horses, and pigs. In mammals, its ability to infect and kill tumor cells, although sparing normal cells, makes (...)

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology (Marburg, Germany), the Institute for Structural Biology (Grenoble, France) and the École Normale Supérieure (Lyon, France) have (...)

While the hydrophobic effect forms the basis for many chemical and biological phenomena, the interaction between two hydrophobic substrates is still not understood. Thanks to the development of an (...)

An international scientific consortium, led by teams from the LATMOS and DESIRS beamline, extends the legacy and impact of the Cassini-Huygens mission into the laboratory. During 13 years, the Cassini (...)

Researchers from C2N and University of Pennsylvania in collaboration with CASSIOPÉE and TEMPO beamlines found a reliable method to tune the electronic properties of 2D TMDs materials without quality (...)

Orange Infrared is a collaborative project between SOLEIL (SMIS beamline), ELETTRA (SISSI beamline) and the Bioinformatics Laboratory of the University of Ljubljana. It started in 2016 to provide open (...)

A very promising strategy for obtaining new materials consists in dispersing nanoparticles with interesting properties within a medium that is easy to shape and manipulate; in such nanocomposites, the (...)

The conservation of metallic artefacts coming from archaeological excavations requires stabilisation methods, such as dechlorination treatments, traditionally carried out in conservation workshops (...)

Magnetic properties of ultrathin multilayers having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) have been extensively investigated in the 90’s with the promise of huge increase in the storage density (...)

Twisting electrons can tell right-handed and left-handed molecules apart Identifying right-handed and left-handed molecules is a crucial step for many applications in chemistry and pharmaceutics. An (...)
