The integral membrane protein MsbA (blue) embedded in a ‘semi-transparent’ membranous nanodisc (grey). The nanodisc itself is, through selective deuteration, rendered invisible in SANS experiments that focus on the conformation of the protein in its native context. …

Key binding characteristics of a sugar-binding protein associated with heart disease and breast cancer defined for the first time, guiding future drug developmentResearchers pinpoint hydrogen-bonding interactions in the C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain of galectin-3 (galectin-3C) for the first time using neutron crystallographyThese detailed observations will inform future drug design f…

Une expérience de haute précision menée par l’Université Technique de Vienne (Autriche) cherche à identifier les « champs de symmétrons », dont l’existence n’est à ce jour qu’hypothétique, en utilisant la source de neutrons ultra-froids « PF2 » de l’Institut Laue-Langevin en France. En effet, la c…

9th July 2018: Grenoble, France  – the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) team up with leading European space companies OHB System AG and MT Aerospace AG to tackle industry challenges. They join forces to advance the characterisation of aerospace materials and make fabrication processes more efficient by probing matter with x-rays and neutrons.Space ex…

The League of advanced European Neutron Sources, LENS, hopes to guide and advocate for the European neutron user community in this current period of transition and optimism catalysed by the advent of the world’s most powerful spallation source, ESS.The forthcoming establishment of a new strategic consortium of European neutron sources was announced on 22 June 2018 in Brussels. The League of advan…

The PSND2018 (International workshop on Position Sensitive Neutron Detectors) took place at FZJülich in May. The most recent detector development carried out at the ILL has been presented.

Le 13 juin 2018, nous avons eu le grand plaisir d’accueillir Mme Frédérique VIDAL, Ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l’Innovation sur le campus EPN. Peu après l'arrivée du cortège ministériel à l’ESRF, le directeur général de l'Institut, Mr Helmut Schober, a eu l’honneur de présenter l’Institut Laue-Langevin à Mme La Ministre, ainsi qu'à l'assemblée constituée à l'occasi…

Today, 18 May, the Institut Laue-Langevin had the honour and the pleasure of welcoming Mona Nemer, the Chief Science Advisor of Canada, who was visiting Grenoble and the EPN campus. She was accompanied by Yannick Neuder, vice-president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region with responsibility for higher education, research, innovation and European funds, and by Geneviève Fioraso, former French Minis…
