Nov. 14, 2025 Two NEPHEWS Twinning participants on the IN1-Lagrange spectrometer at the ILL
The NEPHEWS Twinning Programme gives researchers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with neutron experiments at the ILL and to learn directly from beamline scientists. Participants benefit from short placements that combine observation, practical training, and guidance on how to integrate neutron techniques into their own research.Two recent participants took part in experiments on the I…

July 28, 2025 Turbocharging solid-state battery research: Real-time insights unlocked by new sample cell
Solid-state battery research has just been turbocharged by the development of the first sample cell that unlocks the unique real-time insights of operando neutron diffraction at the ILL. This major advancement is the result of a collaborative effort between the ILL and LEPMI laboratory in Grenoble within the framework of the OpInSolid project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR).
