The purpose of this work is to study the dependence of the electronic structure of WSe 2 – which determines all its properties – with the direction of the electric polarization of a ferroelectric (...)

The Synchrotron SOLEIL has received funding within the France Relance plan to modernize its chilled water production station. To learn more, this video, filmed during the summer of 2022 when the new (...)

In order to obtain LCD screens with high display quality - better defined tones, wider color palette - research on the semiconductor nanocrystals at the origin of the pixels constituting the images is (...)

Extremely intense light pulses generated by Free-electron lasers (FELs) are versatile tools in research. In the X-ray range, they can be deployed to analyze the detail of atomic structures of a wide (...)

Today, the total data storage capacity in the world is between 10 and 50 zettabytes (10 21), and this value could double every two years. Research into new materials that would enable higher data (...)

Created 10 years ago by the University of Göttingen in Germany, "Physics in advent" aims to interest in physics, in a playful way, a public between 11 and 18 years old. This year, one of the prizes (...)

The year 2022 has been declared the "International Year of Glass" by the United Nations General Assembly. To celebrate this, the artist Hernán Gabriel Pais - who is also a member of the SOLEIL’s teams (...)

A novel database has been created in a concerted scientific approach. Researchers from Poland, France and the United States have joined efforts to collect and standardize Circular Dichroism (CD) (...)

The optimal assembly of identical objects is a question of geometry that has fascinated scientists since antiquity. Nowadays, it can be revisited in the science of nanomaterials, which allows the (...)

Corentin Chatelier defended his thesis, entitled "On the surface structures and catalytic properties of aluminum-based intermetallics" on December 15, 2020. His work, carried out on the SIXS beamline (...)

Rings are one of the primary ways molecules build three-dimensional structures. Their properties and dynamics are therefore of central importance across many chemical fields. Characterizing the (...)

For this 6th and last episode of our series, we follow Julie during the final weeks of her PhD: the writing of her thesis, the rehearsals, and then the great day of the oral defense. A lot of emotion (...)
