All the functions of the body are registered within the genes of each individual. There are even parts of genes called "introns" which, theoretically, code nothing at all. These portions of genes are (...)

How to combine theories and experiments to obtain the best astrophysical models? This is the issue scientists have been trying to solve using synchrotron radiation.

A research team has developed a method that allows free nanoparticles to be studied while avoiding any substrate influence. In this way it becomes possible to specifically characterize the surfaces of (...)

Remarkable NHx compounds, obtained by compressing N2-H2 mixtures Research groups from CEA, CNRS 1 as well as the SOLEIL and ESRF synchrotrons, have studied compounds formed by compressing N 2-H 2 (...)

Graphene is the most studied material to prepare electronics in the future. Among the methods used to produce some, one lies on the intercalation of silicon upon a substrate of silicon carbide. French (...)

Solid state ionics is a rapidly developing field, due to the number of possible applications (fuel cells, supercapacitors, sensing materials, batteries etc.). Highly crystalline Lanthanum Fluoride is (...)

Green chemistry is booming, fueled by the growing interest in probiotics (and their impact on human health) and biofuel production. Thereby, the scientific community is increasing studies on the (...)
