A main challenge in chemotherapy is to determine the in cellulo parameters modulating the drug concentration required for therapeutic action. A method combining spectrofluorimetry and microscopy has (...)

Study of the spectroscopic properties of ions in the gaseous phase, a state of matter which by definition is highly diluted, requires the use of very specific experimental methods. Scientists at Orsay (...)

After four years of a fruitful collaboration between 2013 and 2016, SOLEIL and the "Institut Français du Pétrole et des Énergies Nouvelles" (IFPEN) renew their Framework Agreement for the 2017-2020 (...)

The measurement of elementary excitations in a material requires high resolution spectroscopic probes with momentum resolution. RIXS is a powerful technique to characterize these low energy (...)

2016 was a year of anniversaries. SOLEIL celebrated 10 years of its first beams: to begin with, electron beams, since the first electrons turned in the storage ring in May 2006. Then the DIFFABS (...)

In Materials Science, how to simultaneously analyze the morphology and the properties of nanoparticles? This case has motivated a collaboration between LUCIA beamline and Paris Institute of (...)

With numerous possible applications in fields such as energy, the environment, health or polymers, layered double hydroxides (LDH), which are particularly suitable for the development of (...)

In order to deal with the recent decline in the effectiveness of antimalarial treatments, new therapeutic solutions are currently being explored to fight against malaria. Researchers from University (...)

The 3D structure of the HAP2 protein, involved in this process in a unicellular alga, was solved using crystallization and X-ray diffraction. It appeared to be homologous to viral fusion proteins (...)

The study of biological macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA and proteins requires a prior and thorough knowledge of the physicochemical properties of their constitutive bricks, namely nucleobases and (...)

Angle-resolved photoemission measurements on YbB 12 carried out on CASSIOPEE beamline evidenced the existence of a metallic surface state. The obtained results strongly suggest the topological origin (...)

It is now 10 years since INRA and SOLEIL have engaged a fruitful collaboration, which relies on the presence of INRA who work on secondment on SOLEIL beamlines. A booklet, published in January 2017 (...)
