Internationally, researchers are hunting for ways to transport information via magnetic waves instead of electronsScientists have now discovered a circular wave motion in skyrmions, bringing us closer to these new technologiesMnSi, initially from cosmic dust, was studied as the closest model for t…

With great sadness, we have learnt that Hannu Mutka died on 25 February as a consequence of an earlier heart attack. Hannu passed away peacefully, surrounded by his close family.As a Finnish youth, Hannu practiced downhill skiing at a semi-professional level. Selected for the Finnish national team, he therefore had to choose between a sports career and continuing his studies. He chose the latter,…

Research has demonstrated the likely critical membrane fusion mechanism involved when the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infects human cells.SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, is from a family of single-stranded positive sense RNA viruses named β-coronaviruses. SARS-CoV-2 and oth…

Anne STUTZ (LPSC) & Mathieu VIALAT (ILL) stand next to STEREO What are and where are these 25% of the contents of the universe that we call "dark matter"? Could there be a hidden world, the physicists speak of "hidden brane", in which our ordinary matter could …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human opportunistic pathogen that causes severe infections in immunocompromised patients. P. aeruginosa and other pathogenic bacteria use several virulence factors to promote their infectivity, including sugar-binding proteins.Teams of researchers at CERMAV (CNRS) and t…

In the EU project EASI-STRESS, characterizations of residual stress of materials are to be standardized and optimized. © DTI Since the beginning of 2021, the Institut Laue-Langevin has been engaged in the EU-project EASI-STRESS with partners from industry, acade…

Researchers combine neutron diffraction experiments and simulations to study NaCl solutions under extreme conditions.Salty water can act as a large carbon sink, sequestering carbon dioxide in deep saline aquifers with high pressures and temperatures.  However, the actual fate of the gas depends on…

24 November - ILL, ESRF and CEA create the “Grenoble Battery Hub” for research on sustainable electrical energy storage.

Grenoble, le 18 octobre 2021 - En cette fin d’année 2021, l’ILL, premier institut international de recherche scientifique à s’installer à Grenoble, commémore le tout premier démarrage de son réacteur.Depuis 1971, l'ILL est le centre phare de la science et de la technologie neutroniques de pointe. Son réacteur à haut flux fournit des faisceaux intenses de neutrons qui permettent à une large commun…
