Synchrotron X-ray radiation damage in protein structure determination: why do we care?
Structural biology relies on X-ray crystallography to provide much of the three-dimensional information on macromolecules (proteins, DNA, RNA) that informs biological function. Our research focusses o...

Le CERN transforme le plomb en or
Le CERN réalise un vieux rêve d’alchimiste en transformant du plomb en or. Si cette transmutation est scientifiquement fascinante, l'or produit n'est pas exploitable. Ces données servent surtout à mie...

"Alchemy" at the LHC - video with Uliana Dmitrieva who played a key role in the analysis.
#ICYMI: alchemist status unlocked ✨
Earlier this month, the ALICE experiment announced it had detected the conversion of lead into gold at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Extraordinary new book from François Méot, truly going into depth on beam optics and particle dynamics simulations, with much that you won't find elsewhere. For serious students and practitioners (and available in open access). #acceleratorphysics #accelerators #beams #synchrotron
