Hybrid metal-organic frameworks or MOFs are very promising candidates for applications in strategic areas such as catalysis, separation or, more recently, biomedicine. A group from Institut Lavoisier (...)

In a recent paper published in Physical Review an international group of scientists demonstrated that laboratory frame electron angular distributions can be used as a tool to probe the chemical (...)

Removing electrons from a material requires energy that can be provided in various forms. When using light as the energy source, it is by the photoelectric effect that electrons are ejected from (...)

Nitric acid HNO 3 is an important player in a plethora of environmental heterogeneous processes involving atmospheric aerosols, icy particulates and snow. Whether nitric acid adsorbs in its molecular (...)

Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments carried out at 6 K on on Pt/Ge(001) atomic nanowires provide new elements to better understand the physics of the one-dimensional (...)

Anne Houdusse, a research director at the CNRS and head of the "Structural Motility" group at the Curie Institute, has been awarded in 2013 the CNRS Silver Medal. This recognizes her major (...)

Researchers from LPS and LPEM (ESPCI) studied on the SWING beamline the self-assembly of semiconductor (CdSe and CdTe) nanoplatelets in solution. These ultra-thin anisotropic nanoparticles possess (...)

The coupling of electronic and nuclear motions is a striking manifestation of the complex many-particle dynamics involved in off-equilibrium systems, like excited molecules.

Applications using Europium ions and especially Eu 3+ ions know renewed development in photonic applications such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), lasers, optical communications, and as (...)

Novembre 2013. 2013 has offered rich scientic results as well as national and international events involving SOLEIL teams. We are now a few days away from the launch of the International Year of (...)

An international consortium led by researchers from the CEA, in collaboration with the CNRS, has characterized the structure and function of a protein involved in the production of magnetite (...)

The Detectors and Design and Engineering groups at SOLEIL, in collaboration with Paris-Sud Orsay University, have designed, developed, manufactured and assembled a new camera dedicated to full-field (...)
