Setups build to carry out high-pressure spectroscopy experiments –infrared (IR), TeraHertz (THz) or Raman– have been presented over the past years, some of them combining high pressure and low (...)

Researchers from MONARIS, LPS laboratory and SOLEIL succeeded in crystallizing gold colloidal crystals made of poly- or single-nanocrystals, and their structures have been revealed using the bio (...)

If the traditional domain of excellence of synchrotron radiation is that of X-rays, SOLEIL also represents a currently irreplaceable broad band source for high resolution infrared (IR) spectroscopy (...)

A research work on generation of natural crystals of proteins by a cockroach viviparous species has been partly investigated on the PROXIMA-1 beamline.

Scanning hard X-ray imaging allows simultaneous acquisition of multimodal information, i.e. of images in which each pixel contains several types of data. The output is, for instance, a map of the (...)

In a storage ring, an electron beam interacts with the vacuum chamber, generating wake fields that act back on the beam itself. The main effect of these fields is to limit the stored current because (...)

X-ray free electron laser reveals radiosensitizing effects at molecular level. While the effect of radiosensitizing molecules in radiation-based cancer therapies has been known for a long time, the (...)

Software simulating oil absorption has been developed and tested. It reveals the dynamics of oil penetration into food according to the level of damage in the tissues and cooling conditions (see also (...)

The V 2TI project (Versatile Variable Temperature Insert) was designed to enhance the sample environment capabilities of theDEIMOS beamline by adding multiple electrical wiring to the sample. It is (...)

Interaction of light with matter is multifarious. Light can be absorbed, emitted, reflected, scattered. It can warm and cool, destroy or heal. Light, or electromagnetic radiation, of various specific (...)

The structure of an antibody in complex with the Zika virus envelope protein has been resolved thanks to data obtained on the PROXIMA-1 and PROXIMA-2A beamlines

Recently, an experimental branch, dedicated to UV and VUV absorption spectroscopy in the gas phase, was designed and installed on the DÉSIRS beamline. This branch combines a unique ultrahigh (...)
