In the current context, with fossil fuels running out and high priority of environmental protection, the valorization of oil from biomass for energy and green chemistry is of increasing interest. The (...)

X photoemission spectroscopy experiments carried out on TEMPO beamline provide the first direct and measurable evidence of an existing link between the organic and mineral phases of calcareous (...)

A Swedish team provides key insights with a new 3D structure, solved from data collected on PROXIMA1, of the xylose transporter XylE from E. coli.

Experiments carried out at DESIRS beamline show that nanosolvation of a fragile peptide dimer by only three water molecules, isolated in the gas phase, has a dramatic impact on its stability. A (...)

Xenon is a fascinating but rare element. For an atomic physicist it shows itself as a horn of plenty: due to its electronic structure it provides a lot of transitions with complex electron correlation (...)

Natural clays, widespread in our soils, are today at the heart of a wide variety of industrial processes ranging from the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries to the food industry. Researchers at (...)

Experimental endstations are a critical part of a synchrotron facility and should be constructed in perfect coherence with the characteristics of synchrotron radiation so that the users can take full (...)

Arsenic (As) contamination of groundwater is a very serious environmental health threat in many countries all over the world. A better understanding of the mechanism of As uptake and release by rock (...)

The pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) constitute a large family of ionotropic receptors that are ubiquitously represented in the animal kingdom. In vertebrates, the family encompasses (...)

More than 60 representatives of the Saint-Gobain industrial group, including researchers from ISOVER (specialists in thermal and acoustic insulation) in Rantigny (60) and Saint Gobain Research in (...)

Auger spectroscopy and photoemission spectroscopy experiments carried out at SPring8 and SOLEIL help deciphering the electronic behavior of the ionised CO molecule. The results, published in New (...)

Benzodiazepines are among the most commonly prescribed psychotropic drugs in the world, used to treat anxiety, insomnia, convulsions, spasms, etc. These molecules act by binding to specific sites at (...)
