Metallic glasses are currently of growing interest worldwide due to their remarkable physicochemical properties with regard to their crystalline counterparts. Among them, the cerium based metallic (...)

Following the success of the infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) course organised during the 2012-2013 school year, a new edition of this course will take place on 8, 22, and 29 January (...)

The Joint Research Unit UMR-MD1, Aix-Marseille University, has been working with the DISCO beamline for several years to develop a non-invasive, non-perturbing method of determining the concentration (...)

Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas are emerging as precious tools for new applications with potential to revolutionise science, technology and health care. In order to control and tailor the presence (...)

The fast demagnetization process in magnetic films is a phenomenon that has been attracting increasing research interest for its prospective applications in data storage. Studies are most often (...)

Radiochemists from CNRS/Université Paris-Sud Orsay (IPNO) and CNRS/ Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis (ICN) and biologists from the life science CEA division (DSV) collaborated with the MARS (...)

Hybrid metal-organic frameworks or MOFs are very promising candidates for applications in strategic areas such as catalysis, separation or, more recently, biomedicine. A group from Institut Lavoisier (...)

In a recent paper published in Physical Review an international group of scientists demonstrated that laboratory frame electron angular distributions can be used as a tool to probe the chemical (...)

Removing electrons from a material requires energy that can be provided in various forms. When using light as the energy source, it is by the photoelectric effect that electrons are ejected from (...)

Nitric acid HNO 3 is an important player in a plethora of environmental heterogeneous processes involving atmospheric aerosols, icy particulates and snow. Whether nitric acid adsorbs in its molecular (...)

Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments carried out at 6 K on on Pt/Ge(001) atomic nanowires provide new elements to better understand the physics of the one-dimensional (...)

Anne Houdusse, a research director at the CNRS and head of the "Structural Motility" group at the Curie Institute, has been awarded in 2013 the CNRS Silver Medal. This recognizes her major (...)
