Neutron reflectometry provides valuable insights into the molecular intricacies of plant-based food.

High-quality neutron and X-ray data acquired using red blood cells allowed researchers to establish a universal theoretical description of cell membranes.

Researchers used neutrons and X-rays to look into the structure of spaghetti at the nanometre scale, comparing the effect of cooking and salt in gluten-free and gluten-containing pasta.

Neutron imaging provides real-time insights into the next generation of battery technology

The Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion (JEFF) Library combines and makes available the experimental and theoretical knowledge on nuclear data. Release JEFF-4.0 is a significant achievement for the community with major ILL contributions.

Solid-state battery research has just been turbocharged by the development of the first sample cell that unlocks the unique real-time insights of operando neutron diffraction at the ILL. This major advancement is the result of a collaborative effort…

Thanks to a recent upgrade of ILL’s neutron reflectometer D17, molecular motions can be tracked with unprecedented precision

Last week, the very first team of users has been performing experiments on the SHARPER instrument at the ILL.

ILL's instruments play a crucial role in disentangling complex protein crystallisation pathways.
