Global carbon dioxide emissions are continuously increasing leading to a global increment in temperature with potential massive consequences for our planet and society. This...

We propose an ESRF beamtime to study pH-driven DNA structural transitions using time-resolved X-ray solution scattering (TRXSS). Our focus is on the structural pathways from...

With the proposed experiment, we aim to analyze the specific structural changes occurring at a local level when chalcogenide glasses are exposed to photon beams. We intend to...

Methyl mercury is highly toxic and is mainly produced by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in anoxic aquatic ecosystems. Understanding this Hg biomethylation process is important....

The goal of this proposal is twofold. On the one hand it aims at improving the previously developed setup allowing simultaneous WAXS/XPCS measurements besides by adding a SAXS...

Our research is mainly devoted to studying the interplay between gas sorption and the local and global dynamics in Metal-Organic Frameworks. We developed a novel class of MOFs...

This proposal is devoted to study the structural evolution and the P-T stability of borax and probertite, two natural hydrated borates mineral. Critically, borax is one of the...

The internal compositional zoning of natural crystals provide a record of their growth process and history. Observation and interpretation of these patterns are fundamental to...

In modern multiphase materials, damage initiation and growth usually occur during forming and service. The key to understand the initiation and growth of voids in such materials...

The mineralogy and phase transitions in the upper mantle have been determined from models that rely on seismic data and high-pressure experiments. However, these experiments...

Converting CO2 to methanol is a one of the most promising process to recycle CO2. However, the selectivity and the yield to methanol of this process are low. To maximize...

Arsenic (As³⁺), a highly toxic pollutant, interacts with iron (Fe) in aqueous solutions, potentially leading to its capture by the mineral tooeleite (To). Our recent research...

Altermagnets are a new class of magnetic materials exhibiting strong time‐reversal symmetry‐breaking responses, akin to ferromagnets, alongside a fully compensated magnetization...

This proposal aims to experimentally characterise the anisotropic lattice dynamics of the most stable allotrope of phosphorus, i.e. the monoclinic violet phosphorus, through a...

Based on prior knowledge regarding the interaction of N2O/O2 and CH4 with Fe in Fe-SSZ-13, this proposal aims to use an operando multi-spectroscopy approach including RIXS,...

The study of carbonates is fundamental for the understanding of the Earth’s deep carbon cycle. The double carbonate ankerite, Ca(FexMg1-x)(CO3)2 (0≤x≤0.7), with high Fe contents...

This proposal aims at studying the effect of single-ion magnetic anisotropy on X-ray magnetochiral dichroism (XMχD). The effect is closely related to the linear magneto-electric...

Photo-switchable magnets offer unique magnetic memory storage capabilities. However, their technological application is hampered by low operating temperatures, with the best...

NH3 is one of the most important chemical products but only made at 400-500 C and 150-300 bar conditions due to the stable N2 molecule. Here we have developed a Ru-CeO2 catalyst...

Meanwhile, yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the most important material for dental prosthetics. Doping with Y2O3 aims at stabilizing tetragonal ZrO2 at low temperatures and...
