Today, physicists can describe our world with ever increasing precision: The Standard Model of particle physics successfully describes all observation concerning three out of four fundamental interactions - the electromagnetic, the weak and the strong interaction. Gravitation, the fourth known interaction, is fully explained by General Relativity. The application of General Relativity to the enti…

Sept. 5, 2023 John White passed away

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Professor John White, who died very suddenly, most probably of a heart attack, in his garden on 16 August. John was the UK’s first Director of the ILL, a post which he held from 1977 to 1980 after serving for two years as Associate Director. He was one of the architects of the ILL’s very first instrument upgrade programme, known as …

In an article published in ACS Macro Letters, a team of physicochemists describes a novel approach which uses neutron and light scattering to monitor in situ the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers in near-equilibrium conditions. These results offer a wealth of possibilities for observing and better understanding the organisation of complex biological and synthetic macromolecules in aqu…
