Any improvement in battery performance will come about through a better understanding of the overall functioning of the various components: electrodes, electrolytes and interfaces. Two studies are (...)

Metal-insulator transitions are one of the most spectacular phenomena in condensed matter…

Studies of tiny structural variations near the quantum critical point for the metal BaVS3. We now know that the presence of strong correlations between electrons can induce unexpected properties in a (...)

Until now, spintronics has shone particularly in the development of efficient electronic components. However, it is also necessary to transmit the encoded information over mesoscopic distances between (...)

Shortly after the discovery of the remarkable properties of graphene, researchers from French, Swiss, American and Moroccan laboratories have undertaken studies to see if silicon, the closest element (...)

Characterization of the mirrors used on SOLEIL beamlines to focus the radiation to dimensions of a few hundred nanometers requires the development of measuring instruments that are not commercially (...)

Together with protein phosphorylation, protein ubiquitination plays one of the most important role in cellular regulation. Defects in both signaling pathways are involved in cancer and other disease (...)

The surface of ferromagnetic Zn 1-xCo xO wurtzite epilayers has been studied by coupling atomic force microscopy and advanced x-ray spectroscopy. It was found that, even in high-quality epilayers, the (...)

Physicists have just identified a new aperiodic order in a material composed of bistable magnetic molecules. This order, which results from a modulation of the magnetic state that is incommensurate (...)

On 14th and 15th January 2014, the course entitled ‘The SOLEIL synchrotron: science and innovation’ will host teachers from the Paris Academy (education authority), following its tremendous success (...)

Using light to control the electronic state at the molecular level is a challenge for the development of new technologies for high density data storage. To develop new molecular memories, a group from (...)

Decembre 2012. On November 6, 2002, SOLEIL was granted permission from the Saint-Aubin local authority to build a synchrotron on the Orme des Merisiers site. In the last ten years, the SOLEIL teams (...)
