In our recent investigations, we discovered a plethora of new rubidium–nitrogen and cesium–nitrogen compounds—i.e. a staggering 11 new solids—at pressures up to 50 GPa. However,...

Controlled alignment and assembly of dispersed cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) can result in materials with impressive mechanical properties and provide biobased alternatives for...

Bismuth Ferrite with unique rhombohedral structure coexists ferroelectricity and anti-ferromagnetism at room temperature offer promising applications in advanced electronics and...

Hydrogen (H) is essential to decarbonize industry, but its use today is limited because it embrittles the metals and alloys required to store/distribute it. Despite 150 years of...

In Israel, the cryo-EM SPR community is rapidly expanding with the established facility at the Weizmann Institute (Krios, since 2019), a new facility at Ben-Gurion University...

This BAG coordinates activities of groups from the South of the UK. The focus is on projects in Immunology, transcriptional regulation, and enzymology. Particular strengths are...

Our goal is to probe the densification transition, local structure mechanisms, and electronic evolution of both amorphous WO3 and crystalline 7-coordinated “metallic” WO3, using...

During crystallisation, a small proportion of diamonds (no more than 2%), captures tiny inclusions of other minerals. In rare cases, inclusions of different minerals are...

Gas hydrates have received considerable attention in the last decades due to their extensive natural occurrence on Earth and extraterrestrial bodies, and to their significant...

Several studies have highlighted that nucleation reactions can occur via multi-step mechanisms with nanoscale intermediates. Whereas some nucleation pathways are well...

Rare earth elements (REE) are essential to modern life, yet we know little about how they concentrate at Earth’s surface, especially on the seafloor, which holds vast reserves....

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) drives many critical cellular processes. We have used laser-induced release from a caged, inactive form of ATP (NPE-caged) followed by short X-ray...

Fuel cells and electrolysers represent one of most promising alternatives for electrical energy production and storage. Today these technologies rely on nanoparticles (NPs)...

Magnetism in materials has known two faces: ferromagnets (FM) and anti-ferromagnets (AFM). Recent theoretical proposals have brought into play a third flavour called...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an atmospheric greenhouse gas that feeds all life, plays a critical role in global warming, and could constitute an inexpensive carbon source for future...

This project is the continuation of the Battery Pilot Hub (MA4929), a pioneer initiative at ESRF designed to achieve large-scale synchrotron-based correlative characterization...

Biomineralization showcases nature's precise control over mineral phase formation, inspiring lab-based exploration of bio-inspired crystallization, notably in synthetic CaCO3....

To explore the behavior of nitrogen under extreme pressures, we utilize non-resonant inelastic X-ray Raman scattering capabilities available at ID20 beamline (ESRF). With this...

Though predicted in the 1960s, Magneto Chiral Dichroism (MD) has been observed several decades latter and almost exclusively in the UV-visible range. Some of us recently...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary tumour. Its prognosis is very poor, with survival ranging from 12-15 months. Due to the chemoresistance and highly...
