Researchers from LPS and LPEM (ESPCI) studied on the SWING beamline the self-assembly of semiconductor (CdSe and CdTe) nanoplatelets in solution. These ultra-thin anisotropic nanoparticles possess (...)

The coupling of electronic and nuclear motions is a striking manifestation of the complex many-particle dynamics involved in off-equilibrium systems, like excited molecules.

Applications using Europium ions and especially Eu 3+ ions know renewed development in photonic applications such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), lasers, optical communications, and as (...)

Novembre 2013. 2013 has offered rich scientic results as well as national and international events involving SOLEIL teams. We are now a few days away from the launch of the International Year of (...)

An international consortium led by researchers from the CEA, in collaboration with the CNRS, has characterized the structure and function of a protein involved in the production of magnetite (...)

The Detectors and Design and Engineering groups at SOLEIL, in collaboration with Paris-Sud Orsay University, have designed, developed, manufactured and assembled a new camera dedicated to full-field (...)

In humans an excess of uric acid (or hyperuricemia) is associated with, or responsible for several serious health problems: metabolic syndrome 1, gout and kidney dysfunction. Other living beings are (...)

In Paris, October 1, 2013, groups from the “Chimie-Physique Matière et Rayonnement” Laboratory (UPMC-CNRS), together with SOLEIL Synchrotron, the University of Trieste (Italy) and Uppsala University (...)

Dissociation is one of the simplest chemical reactions, where a molecule breaks apart into two or more fragments, i.e., other molecules, atoms, ions, or radicals. Understanding the mechanisms of (...)

The energy crisis driven by the long-term petroleum shortage, the growing demand for cleaner fuels and a more rational utilisation of resources (coal, natural gas, biomass…) are among the main reasons (...)

Supported molybdenum catalysts are widely used in their sulfide state in the treatment petroleum fractions, which are important economic and environmental issues. In their oxide states they can be (...)

Ferroelectric memory devices could be an alternative to magnetic based memories for future high-density data storage. Such devices have considerable advantages: they are non-volatile, have fast read (...)
