Scientists working in the Molecular Biophysics Group at the University of Liverpool have discovered that a particular protein’s stability could contribute to the onset of neurodegenerative disease.

SOLEIL organizes with the Diagonale Paris-Saclay a Science Break entitled: “The crystal, precious stone for researchers”.

2D metallic states are highly promising for the microelectronics of tomorrow. Researchers managed to create such state with hexagonal symmetry at the bare surface of several insulating oxides.

On the AILES beamline at SOLEIL, the supersonic jet device associated with high-resolution infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy (Jet-AILES) brought definite proofs of the planarity of hydrogen (...)

This unique event took place at the same time at SOLEIL and in cities like Bidard, Cannes, Mérignac Toulon and Toulouse. With the help and support of experts of space industry, students, entrepreneurs (...)

We often classify the electrons in an atom as being either ‘core’ electrons—those closest to the nucleus— or ‘valence’ electrons, those involved in chemical bonding. Indeed, if the atom is part of a (...)

Technological and social progress has been driven by the mastery of new materials. Think of the massive change in our way of life brought about by the invention of steel or the profound social changes (...)

When exceptionally preserved, hair, wools, or skin samples can have a high archaeological value. The best-preserved specimens have often benefited from specific environmental conditions that slowed (...)

Solar energy has been facing limits of efficiency and production cost, requiring the developing of new materials. An English and French team have had a closer look to zinc oxide, a promising material (...)

A research team from INRA Nantes used an innovative method based on mass spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation of DISCO beamline to photoactivate sugars, whose valorisation presents a real economic (...)

On Friday 18th April 2014, ten students from the University Paris-Sud took over four SOLEIL beamlines, as part of the HELIOS program. Set up for the first time in 2010, HELIOS aims at putting the (...)

After each school holidays IA-IPR from the academy of Versailles gather for a working and thinking day. On 28th April 2014, the College of Schools Inspectors from the Academy of Versailles took place (...)
