On Tuesday February 11, SOLEIL will be at Supelec for the 17th edition of the annual “Bouge la Science!” day. This event allows middle and high school students to discover scientific experiments with (...)

Graphene ribbons in which the electrons move freely: that is the feat accomplished by an international team of research scientists from the CNRS, the University of Lorraine, and the SOLEIL synchrotron (...)

The atelier FemtoARPES and the CASSIOPEE beamline have published in Phys. Rev. Lett. new results on systems with strong spin-orbit coupling. The pump-induced dichroism observed in non-centrosymmetric (...)

Small GTPases of the Arf family are chief organizers of cellular traffic, the process that targets proteins and lipids to the precise locations in cells where they carry out their functions. The team (...)

Through a long standing collaboration between the University of Nottingham and the DESIRS beamline team, scientists have used the technique of photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) to study chiral (...)

A team made of French (IRAMIS, CEA, CNRS, Synchrotron SOLEIL), Brazilian (State University of Campinas, Federal University of Goiàs), Austrian (ISSSP Linz University) and Romanian (Material Physics (...)

Scientists of UMR IATE (Montpellier) and INRA (Nantes) have been studying gum arabic for the past few years, a bio-sourced material widely exploited in many sectors, such as the agri-food industry and (...)

X-ray radiography based on absorption contrast is one of the efficient techniques allowing probing matter in depth. However, its analysis capabilities are strongly limited, when the elementary parts (...)

Current lithium ion battery (LIB) technologies are all based on inorganic electrodes, though organic materials have been hyped as electrodes for years. Disadvantages such as low specific capacity and (...)

Nanostructuring a surface is a key and mandatory engineering step toward advances in nanotechnology. A team of french and italian scientists and of a franco-american company has just shown that (...)

Metallic glasses are currently of growing interest worldwide due to their remarkable physicochemical properties with regard to their crystalline counterparts. Among them, the cerium based metallic (...)

Following the success of the infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) course organised during the 2012-2013 school year, a new edition of this course will take place on 8, 22, and 29 January (...)
