Solar hydrogen can be produced from water and light in a process called photocatalytic water-splitting and could help to mitigate the impact of climate change, as no fossil fuels are used in its production ...

Precise measurements at the ILL of beta asymmetry rule out neutron decay into exotic dark matter particles

Researchers investigate new interactions between gold nanoparticles and cell membranes. Gold nanoparticles have a range of biomedical applications and are an important tool for drug delivery. Factors such as temperature and membrane charge are…

Replacing silicon crystals with gallium arsenide ones quadruples energy resolution, the biggest jump the technique has seen in its half-century history. A success story of the IN16B instrument

For the past 25 years, scientists have been developing fluorescent proteins for bioimaging. Today their diversity covers nearly the whole visible spectrum, including blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red, far-red and near infrared, allowing…

The STEREO experiment releases new results based on the detection of about 65 000 neutrinos at short distance from the research reactor of the ILL.

New clues about the molecular nature of Alzheimer’s disease

Direct observations of the structure and catalytic mechanism of a prototypical kinase enzyme will provide researchers and drug developers with significantly enhanced abilities to understand and treat fatal diseases and neurological disorders
