Semiconductor nanocrystals are promising building block for optoelectronics. Over the past three decades, large progresses have been obtained on their synthesis to achieve size and shape control and (...)

Lamellar Metal Dichalcogenides* have emerged as a class of exceptional materials which exhibits remarkable electronic and chemical properties on the scale of a few monolayers. Scientists from Grenoble (...)

Recycling of Phosphorus (P) from waste streams needs to be increased for a sustainable society. The pulp and paper industry produces large amounts of nutrient (notably P)-rich sludges. Swedish (...)

The Pint of Science Festival is an international science communication event that will take place in a multitude of bars, simultaneously, from May 22nd to 24th in more than 20 countries!

Warning: this event will be held in French, except for the 5pm timeslot which will be in English. Registration link below. Since 2018, UNESCO has declared that May 16 is the International Day of Light (...)

After 15 years of opening to our users, SOLEIL takes stock of the important results obtained thanks to the beamlines during this period. Thus, we invite you to discover a series of thematic brochures (...)

What do the first few nanometers of the interface between a liquid and the surrounding gas look like, at the molecular level? Such a question is far from simple to be answered, and experimental (...)

Ferromagnetic materials* have a non-zero spontaneous magnetisation at the nanoscopic scale. However, due to the competition of forces at play in the material, the local magnetic moments can form (...)

On March 9, 2023, SOLEIL welcomed 15 college and high school teachers from the Versailles Academy for an unprecedented training day on the theme of art restoration and conservation. This is the first (...)

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a deadly neurodegenerative pathology that develops in individuals that have more than 35 consecutive glutamine amino acids at one extremity of a protein called huntingtin (...)

Physicists have for the first time synthesized and characterized a blue phosphorene sheet with a metallic-like electronic structure and thus discovered a new two-dimensional material with properties (...)

Training has been an essential part of the ExPaNDS project: to provide training material accessible to staff and users from Photon and Neutron (PaN) Research Infrastructures is one of the key (...)
