Astrophysicists think that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are widely present in interstellar space. Nevertheless, their mechanisms of formation by evaporation from carbonaceous nanograins are (...)

The Synchrotron SOLEIL is a member of Respore (“Réseau d'Excellence en Solides Poreux”, Network of Excellence in Porous Solids ) , a research network dedicated to analyzing and characterizing porous (...)

By carefully choosing the photon energy for the excitation of the deep-core 1s electron in HCl to the dissociative σ* orbital, scientists from France (UPMC/CNRS and SOLEIL), Germany (Berlin University (...)

Amoxicillin (AMX) is an antibiotic whose mechanism of action promotes cell wall lysis and consequently the death of bacteria from several different species. AMX is considered a first-line drug against (...)

Exceptionally, SOLEIL will open its doors to the public during summer time!

A decade of beams at SOLEIL: 2016 is a year of anniversaries, shared with an ever increasing number of users on our beamlines. Twenty eight beamlines have now received photons, since the X-ray beam (...)

The absence of electrical resistance in superconducting materials gives them an enormous interest in terms of applications, in the fields of energy and transport, for example. Until now, however, the (...)

Over the last 20 years, colloidal nanocrystals have excited the interest of researchers because of their luminescence properties or, more recently, their use as a light source for displays. However (...)

The self-assembly of proteins into ordered nanostructures such as the dynamic scaffolds that give different cell types or viruses their unique shapes, is a hallmark of many biological systems (...)

Electron scattering processes upon photoionization of liquid water and the subsequent transport of the quasi-free electrons through the liquid are of outmost importance for radiation damage in living (...)

#MissingType is an initiative to promote blood donation, organised for the World Blood Donor Day. SOLEIL participates to this initiative, by removing the letter "O" from our logo, on our websites and (...)

The pro-inflammatory cytokine 1 - thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) plays a central role in common allergic diseases including asthma and atopic dermatitis. X-ray diffraction data collected at the (...)
