Angle-resolved photoemission measurements on YbB 12 carried out on CASSIOPEE beamline evidenced the existence of a metallic surface state. The obtained results strongly suggest the topological origin (...)

It is now 10 years since INRA and SOLEIL have engaged a fruitful collaboration, which relies on the presence of INRA who work on secondment on SOLEIL beamlines. A booklet, published in January 2017 (...)

Group II introns are large catalytic RNAs and mobile genetic elements of bacterial origin. They are considered to be the ancestors of nuclear introns in eukaryotes and their splicing machinery, the (...)

The experiments carried out by INRA scientists in collaboration with ANSES, the CEA-Grenoble-Alpes University, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology and SOLEIL (DIFFABS beamline), show (...)

Since the 1920’s, aluminium alloys have been widely used in the fields of transport and architecture. Unfortunately, those alloys are very sensitive to the corrosion phenomenon. It is therefore (...)

In all forms of cellular life, the enzymes DNA polymerases (DNAPs) play a central role in the replication, maintenance and repair of the genome. Consequently, the DNAPs have been the subject of (...)

Very many important bio-molecules— from the smallest building blocks like amino acids, through larger proteins, to the famous DNA double helix— are chiral, meaning that like our hands they can possess (...)

The intrinsic apoptosis (programmed cell death) pathway responds to irreparable DNA damages in cells by marking them for destruction. Cancerous cells with damaged DNA distinguish from classical cells (...)

Cyanobacteria are abundant bacteria in many continental and marine environments. 2.3 billion years ago they "invented" oxygenic photosynthesis process, this essential reaction that uses light energy (...)

At 6000 years old, this copper amulet is the earliest lost-wax cast object known. Now, researchers have finally discovered how it was made, using a novel UV-visible photoluminescence spectral imaging (...)

Through use of the PROXIMA-1 and PROXIMA-2A beamlines, researchers of the Ecole Polytechnique (CNRS, Palaiseau) and IGBMC (CNRS, INSERM and Strasbourg University) have determined the structure of a (...)

A reaction chamber was coupled to a photoionization aerosol time-of flight mass spectrometer on the DESIRS beamline for on-line analysis of organic and inorganic-organic mixed aerosols using (...)
