Easy to digest: neutrons reveal how the human body processes plant proteins
A recently published study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the physiological processing of plant-based foods. The results of this work can be used to optimise production, improving the digestibility of plant proteins and thus the nutritional value of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Magnetism, vortices and neutron spin echo: a winning combination
In a series of experiments published in Nature Physics, researchers from Japan, the UK, Sweden, and the Czech Republic collaborated at ILL-IN15, one of the world's leading spin echo facilities. Their neutron spin echo (NSE) experiments confirmed the presence of asymmetric dynamics in the skyrmion phase of MnSi, indicating its strong potential for spintronic devices and sustainable technology.
