A very promising strategy for obtaining new materials consists in dispersing nanoparticles with interesting properties within a medium that is easy to shape and manipulate; in such nanocomposites, the (...)

The conservation of metallic artefacts coming from archaeological excavations requires stabilisation methods, such as dechlorination treatments, traditionally carried out in conservation workshops (...)

Magnetic properties of ultrathin multilayers having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) have been extensively investigated in the 90’s with the promise of huge increase in the storage density (...)

Twisting electrons can tell right-handed and left-handed molecules apart Identifying right-handed and left-handed molecules is a crucial step for many applications in chemistry and pharmaceutics. An (...)

The CyaA protein is a toxin produced by the bacteria that causes whooping cough. During intoxication of the target cells, CyaA binds to calmodulin, which induces the folding of a destructured region (...)

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a pathology that was first described twenty years ago. It is characterized in particular by cicatricial alopecia on the frontal zone of the scalp and mainly affects (...)

During the Precambrian period, the transition between the Archean (-4 billion to -2.5 billion years) and Proterozoic eons (-2.5 billion to 541 million years) coincides with the beginning of plate (...)

SOLEIL Synchrotron staff wishes you a very happy new year!

If it is not degraded or effectively extracted from industrial effluent, the synthetic dye used in the textile and cosmetics field can be harmful to the environment, both in terms of production and (...)

The cyano radical (CN) is omnipresent in many reactions and environments (plasma, combustion, …). It is for instance one of the first species detected in astrophysical media such as comets (in 1881) (...)

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 (...)
