12.05.2011 Grenoble NanoElectronics project selected - for benefit of EPN technology platform!Good news for Grenoble! The "Institut de Recherche Technologique (IRT) NanoElectronique" project is one of the six national projects selected by the French government for funding within the IRT programme in the Grand...[more] 21.04.2011 New radioisotope will improve cancer therapy.The high neutron flux at the ILL has produced samples of 161Tb, an isotope of terbium with better properties for cancer therapy than existing radiopharmaceutical treatments. Researchers led by Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and...[more] 17.04.2011 Dark matter and string theory? Super-cold neutrons can provide the answerA new technique developed by neutron scientists is so sensitive that it could be used to measure the quantum effects of gravity. Minute deviations from Newtonian laws could prove whether dark matter or string theory’s extra...[more] 08.04.2011 Publications statistics : ILL in the lead!178 ILL publications in high-impact journals in 2010. Thanks to the Millennium programme and the ILL staff implication, this figure is constantly increasing. [more] 07.04.2011 How Arctic fish’s antifreeze proteins workNeutron scientists at ILL have discovered for the first time how ‘antifreeze’ in arctic fish blood kicks in to keep them alive in subzero conditions. Biological antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are unusual proteins in several ways....[more] 31.03.2011 Delayed reactor restartDue to maintenance, the reactor is now due to restart on Tuesday 19 April at 8:30 am (instead of on 14 April as originally planned).[more] 17.03.2011 Understanding the magnetic glue of superconductivity at ILLNew evidence suggests fluctuating magnetic stripes are the cause of mysterious hourglass magnetic spectrum of high temperature superconductors. Scientists at Oxford University and the Institut Laue-Langevin have used...[more] |
