Exploiting the strengths of neutron scattering to understand how particles come together.

Single-crystal neutron diffraction reveals competing forms of magnetic order in the kagome mineral clinoatacamite.

The 28th edition of the course organised by JCNS took place from 7 to 18 September. Like last year, the second week of the course was dedicated to hands-on tutorials and took place at the ILL.

Learn how a novel combination of neutron and light scattering elucidates the molecular structure of therapeutic nanoparticles

During the Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section of the German Physical Society (DPG), held in Dresden in March 2026, a round table was held on the theme ‘Novel Opportunities for Cooperation between France and Germany in Neutron Science’. The discussion involved the participation of the directors of the French and German facilities, as well as representatives of the neutron user association in both countries, SFN and KFN. This is an account of the discussion by Jacques Jestin, ILL Science Director and French Associate Director and one of the participants of the round table.
