Nanoparticles and large molecules are everywhere in advanced materials and pharmaceutical products. From touchscreens to protein drugs, the stabilisation of these particles is central to their ability

(jpg - 536 Ki) 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

Single-event effects (SEEs), which are mainly induced by neutron particles, can be responsible for soft errors. SEEs are taken into account during design phase of Avionics Equipment to avoid impact on

"Inelastic neutron scattering contributes to studying vibrational degrees-of-freedom to better understand disorder and its effect on electronic charge transport efficiency and mechanisms in organic se

(png - 0.92 Mi) Schematic, cross-sectional view of a PEM fuel cell. Hydrogen fuel is channelled to the anode, while oxygen from air is channelled to the cathode. At the anode, hydrogen is split into p

Credit: Marta Salvador-Castell Scientists at Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) have helped take a key step towards understanding the development of life on Earth. The team, led by Dr Philippe Oger, a scien

An international team, including ILL scientists, have used neutron scattering to study the behaviour of dense supercritical methane. Their results could help to better model the interiors of methane-r

New algorithm enables more efficient acquisition of high-value datasets The ILL has validated a new autonomous data acquisition system. New software known as gpCAM has been developed to determine the

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 sa
