Nanoparticle based resistive strain gauges are paving the way for flexible touch screens. Researchers from the Nanotech research group at INSA Toulouse have investigated the electromechanical behavior (...)

In recent years, light sources have been central to research. Whether they are small enough to sit on a "table", or form large instruments of hundreds of meters, they help to push the scale limits of (...)

To improve radiotherapy techniques, several studies have looked at the possibility of adding nanoparticles, especially when treating certain aggressive tumors, such as glioblastoma cells (the most (...)

Synchrotron radiation beamlines are capable of focusing an X-ray beam to less than ten microns and now even less on long beamlines such as Nanoscopium. These beamlines need to be equipped with quick (...)

The IPERION CH programme (Integrated Platform for the European Research Infrastructure On Cultural Heritage) will fund a European network of research infrastructures dedicated to the study of cultural (...)

Several teams from SOLEIL have been collaborating for months on the FEMTOSLICING project, a real technological and scientific challenge. On February 9th 2015, the first photons from the sliced (...)

The 2014 International Year of Crystallography ends and gives way to the 2015 International Year of Light. Whatever the chosen scientific theme, it always enters the field of research conducted at (...)

A team from Laboratoire de chimie physique-matière et rayonnement (CNRS/UPMC), in collaboration with international teams (1), has performed an experiment illustrating the measurement problem in (...)

After several years of data collection and analysis, a team from IGBMC has just published its research on the study of eukaryotic ribosomes in complexes with 16 molecules that inhibit their activity (...)

Physicists have just generated ultra short polarized light pulses of extreme UV in laboratory conditions. This kind of radiation gives access to information on the chirality that would remain (...)

Lighting a candle, a quite ordinary action, starts a highly complex chemical reaction sequence: the combustion of the candle wax. The warm and festive yellow candlelight is radiated from soot (...)

December 2014. The UN proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies, making it a very special year for all of the synchrotron community. Light-related topics are (...)
