Researchers designed novel membranes to extract precious lithium ions from brine solutions and used neutrons to obtain a deeper understanding of their mechanism

As part of the Polish Scientific Member partnership, the ILL welcomed ten students and two supervisors from Poland for an intensive week-long training designed to introduce them to the world of neutron scattering.

The European Photon and Neutron (EPN) campus in Grenoble is also a unique place for structural biology research. A review paper on the current and future perspectives for structural biology at the EPN campus has just appeared on the Journal of…

New findings based on neutron scattering experiments performed at the ILL and ISIS reveal supersymmetric behaviour in a quantum material, demonstrating that it can emerge naturally in condensed matter. This has promising practical implications for…

Research is constantly ongoing to optimise the properties of shampoos. This study could help design better, more sustainable hair-care products with improved conditioning effects. It was developed at ILL in collaboration with L'Oréal.

Last week was rich in scientific events featuring neutron scattering and the ILL. We briefly summarise ILL’s participation in the UK NMSUM, JdA, and more.

Researchers used neutrons to study how peptides assemble into tiny spirals - and then used them as templates to create golden replicas.
