The 2024 edition of the Journées de la Diffusion Neutronique (JDN2024) was held last week on the island of Porquerolles. 86 scientists attended the conference - a record number - including more than 20 scientists representing the ILL and its CRG…

The Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) 2024 was held in Trieste from 1 to 4 October. ILL was represented by its Purchasing and Partnerships and Communication services. Our stand was visited by many suppliers, as well as by R&D teams interested in…

The InnovaXN EU-funded project has ended on September 30, 2024. Let us reflect on the outcomes of this first-of-a-kind EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral training programme undertaken by the ILL and the ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation…

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has established a set of conditions under which sustainable fatty acid complexes can efficiently fight against dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The results are encouraging and inspire further research…

An international research team has used neutrons to study the nanometer-scale dynamics of water inside concrete. This is not only key to concrete strength, but also for the development of green concrete and environment-related applications.

ILL research scientist Leonardo Chiappisi has been awarded the prestigious Wolfram-Prandl Prize 2024 for young scientists for his outstanding research results on polymer-based soft matter under high-pressure conditions.

Close to 20 undergraduate students from ILL and ESRF associate and member countries are at the EPN campus to discover neutron and x-rays techniques and science, from 2 to 28 September.
