There is thus significant interest in the…

Only by using neutron instruments from across the globe, have researchers been able to characterise the magnetism of a graphene-like material.

An international research team has succeeded in significantly narrowing the scope for the existence of dark matter, with the use of a precision experiment developed at the University of Bern, and carried out at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL).

Samuel Winnall and Wenke Müller are currently carrying out their PhDs as part of the InnovaXN programme. While Samuel specialises in reflectometry and molecular dynamics simulations, Wenke specialises in small-angle scattering, and is focused on kinetics and contrast variation. These two young and talented entrepreneurs, following their first steps into the large-scale facilities playground, decided to bring together their expertise and experience with neutron techniques to tackle modern industry problems.

On September 21, 2022 the annual project meeting of EASI-STRESS was held in Grenoble, France at the European Photon & Neutron Science Campus, hosted by ESRF - The European Synchrotron and ILL - Institut Laue Langevin. It was followed by a public workshop about residual stress analysis and industrial use of analytical research infrastructures (ARIs).Both the internal and external meetings lead…

Dirty windows can harbour potentially harmful pollutants under protective films of fatty acids from cooking emissions – and these can hang around over long periods of time.According to a new study, led by researchers at the University of Birmingham, the fatty acids contained within cooking emissions are highly stable and not easily broken down in the atmosphere. …

Linear vs Circular economy. Designing sophisticated new materials - competitively functional, durable and highly recyclable – is the common goal of the 50 analytical research infrastructures of the European ARIE network, which joined forces in ReMade@ARI. The ILL w…
