Located on the Paris-Saclay plateau, about 20 kilometers from the capital, the SOLEIL synchrotron is one of France's leading research facilities. Since it began operating in 2008, it has served the national and international scientific communities. Research conducted at SOLEIL covers a wide range of scientific and industrial fields — including physics, biology, chemistry, materials science, environmental science, Earth sciences, and cultural and natural heritage — all connected to current societal challenges.
The 10th edition of the ‘Crystallography and Large Scale Facilities’ school will take place at the SOLEIL synchrotron site in Saint-Aubin from 2 to 6 Novem

Through a series of portraits, Synchrotron SOLEIL meets the men and women who bring the synchrotron to life. For this seventh episode, Damien Jeangérard, control room operator, agreed to take part. His main mission? To ensure the smooth operation of the electron accelerators so that scientists on the beamlines can successfully carry out their experiments. A strategic role at the very heart of the synchrotron, where no two days are alike and learning never stops. Much to his delight.
We are pleased to announce the first workshop on Frontiers in Science at 4th generation synchrotron facilities, to be held October 12th & 13th, 2026 at

2D materials are excellent candidates for light emission in LED-type components. Furthermore, combining several of these materials with different properties (metal, insulator, semiconductor) theoretically makes it possible to obtain complex components that combine these properties. To function, these components must be connected to electrodes. But where exactly should the electrical voltage be applied?
