A new spin on sample delivery for membrane proteins
Proteins hover in front of the X-ray beam at a Swiss Light Source beamline. Now, spinning thin films bring on board these trickiest of proteins.
Différencier plus facilement les molécules chirales
Des chercheurs ont démontré que les rayons X dotés d’un front d’onde hélicoïdal permettent de mieux différencier les énantiomères, des molécules qui sont les images-miroir l’une de l’autre.
Hercules School 2022
PSI hosted again the Hercules School in March 2022. We had the pleasure to welcome 20 international PhD students, PostDocs and scientists to demonstrate our state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies at our large scale facilities, the Swiss Light Source (SLS), the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ) and our free electron laser SwissFEL.
Une nouvelle lentille à rayons X facilite l’exploration du nanomonde
Une lentille achromatique pour la lumière de type rayons X est pour la première fois développée au PSI.
