March 4, 2019 Novel miscrostrip gas chamber Detector Hardware

The microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) was invented by Anton Oed at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL). Bruno Guérard and Damien Roulier at ILL have been working on a new development in its design for SINE2020.

Feb. 26, 2019 Researchers unravel information about a protein causing progressive diseases

The C-D loop in transthyretin is tight in the stable T119M mutant (protective against amyloidosis). However, the same loop at the mutation site of the S52P mutant (associated with the most aggressive form of transthyretin amyloidosis) is loosened, causing degradation of the protein and misfolding…
