Case study carried out with the start-up 3Dmagination Improvements in the quality of X-ray beams, detectors and reconstruction algorithms, as well as the development of in situ sample environments (...)

The interest given to graphene oxide has risen since few years, especially for its use as a precursor for graphene, which application field gets broader and broader. In this framework, producing (...)

Carbon can take various forms depending on the function of the molecule in which it is placed, each with its own distinct ‘species’. The ‘speciation’ of carbonaceous materials is generally obtained by (...)

To survive in their environment, bacteria must adapt to very different growth conditions. One way of doing this is by use of a protein called Hfq which forms complexes with specific small ribonucleic (...)

Visit SOLEIL ... without moving!

In September 2017, a team from ELI Beams (Extreme Light Infrastructures, Prague, Czech Republic), together with participants from IBT-Biocev (Institute of Biotechnology, Vestec near Prague, Czech (...)

Astrophysicists think that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are widely present in interstellar space. Nevertheless, their mechanisms of formation by evaporation from carbonaceous nanograins are (...)

The Synchrotron SOLEIL is a member of Respore (“Réseau d'Excellence en Solides Poreux”, Network of Excellence in Porous Solids ) , a research network dedicated to analyzing and characterizing porous (...)

By carefully choosing the photon energy for the excitation of the deep-core 1s electron in HCl to the dissociative σ* orbital, scientists from France (UPMC/CNRS and SOLEIL), Germany (Berlin University (...)

Amoxicillin (AMX) is an antibiotic whose mechanism of action promotes cell wall lysis and consequently the death of bacteria from several different species. AMX is considered a first-line drug against (...)

Exceptionally, SOLEIL will open its doors to the public during summer time!

A decade of beams at SOLEIL: 2016 is a year of anniversaries, shared with an ever increasing number of users on our beamlines. Twenty eight beamlines have now received photons, since the X-ray beam (...)
