A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium from hydrogen at a temperature of 120 K (-153°C) has been introduced. This opens a pathway for sustainable industrial-scale isotope separation using existing liquefied natural gas (LNG)…

A former PhD student at the ILL and Birmingham University has been awarded this year’s prize for her “ground-breaking contributions to the study of frustrated magnets using neutron polarisation analysis combined with novel data analysis…

Some magnetic materials feature peculiar states the fundamental understanding of which may pave the way for future applications. Neutron experiments have just revealed that they can be unexpectedly stable with respect to microscopic disorder.

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states – solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact many more phases, some of which – predicted to exist at high temperature and pressure – are so strange they’re referred to as…

On 11 February 2025, the ILL was honoured to welcome the highest representatives of Germany in France from the General Consulate of Germany in Lyon, General Consul Jessica Engel and Consul Ulrike Johag. The visitors were hosted by ILL's German…

On 5 and 6 February, the ILL was at Tech&Fest, hosted at Alexpo in Grenoble, with the slogan "Celebrating the best of innovation, together".

Multiferroic materials will be at the heart of new solutions for data storage, data transmission, and quantum computers. Understanding the origin of such properties at fundamental level is key for developing applications, and neutron scattering…
