Neutron Science and technology at the ILL The ILL is a user facility welcoming scientists from all around the world to perform cutting-edge experiments fostering progress in a variety of scientific an

How neutron science supports research on viruses such as Covid-19 A lot of action in the virus’s life cycle happens at the surfaces. Like a space ship docks onto a space station the virus has to hook

Quantum systems – Molecular magnets – Multiferroics – Superconductors - Novel electronics Magnets are everywhere in our lifes, from cars to mobile phones or high-speed trains. But magnetic systems exi

Improving neutron flux is of little value if the scattered neutrons cannot be detected efficiently with the required spatial and temporal resolution. High-quality detectors are essential for optimal i

Alexander Petukhov (1952-2023) by Eddy Lelièvre-Berna After a brilliant start of his career in Gatchina (Russia), Alexander Petukhov (Sasha) came for the first time to ILL in 1996 to successfully meas

Because the journal " Communications on Physics " disappeared for long, the papers describing neutron multilayers for the first time were neither available on the web nor referenced by the main abstra

Neutron Optics Well-designed optical elements play a crucial role in maximising neutron flux at the sample, with carefully optimised systems capable of increasing intensities by orders of magnitude. W

Resolutely in touch with the world around it and the major societal issues of today and tomorrow, the ILL helps drive significant advances in the fields of health, energy, the environment and quantum

Photo ILL / Ulli Köster ILL's nuclear reactor is essentially used for producing neutrons for scientific research; however it has also been used over recent years for producing innovative radioisotopes
