23-Jun-2026 New ILL top management team has been appointed Institut Laue-Langevin The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) is delighted to announce the appointment of its new Director and Associate Directors, who will take up their duties on 1st October 2026. Regine Willumeit-Römer will become the new ILL Director, with Ken Andersen and Jacques Jestin continuing at the ILL as Associate Directors.
23-Jun-2026 Project ASCENT at ILL selected for EU funding under "Choose Europe for Science" Institut Laue-Langevin The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) will lead the ASCENT project, funded at 1.4 M€ by the European Commission as part of the initiative "Choose Europe for Science 2025". The goal is to train the next generation of researchers and sustain Europe’s leadership in neutron science. ASCENT is one of 16 projects (three of them in France) funded under the pilot call of a programme that aims to enhance the attractiveness of research careers in Europe and address the challenge of scientific talent retention. It is also the only project led by a large-scale infrastructure.
23-Jun-2026 Every time Norway scores, the whole city of Bergen shakes The University of Bergen In Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city, celebrations following Norway’s match against Senegal were so intense that three small earthquakes were recorded.
23-Jun-2026 This Father’s Day carries new meaning for dad who donated part of his liver to his then 7-month-old son on his own birthday NYU Langone Health / NYU Grossman School of Medicine Benjamin Carstens received a lifesaving liver transplant from his dad at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone after born with a rare metabolic disorder.
23-Jun-2026 Students develop manufacturing software in ORNL–Tennessee Tech partnership DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Undergraduate seniors at Tennessee Tech University work with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory through the Capstone course, a two-semester program that pairs students with industry clients to tackle real-world technical challenges.
23-Jun-2026 How a rogue tau protein drives destruction — and how it might be stopped Howard Hughes Medical Institute Drawing on decades of research on RNA-binding proteins, HHMI Investigator Roy Parker uncovered how misfolded tau protein teams up with them — fueling the formation of toxic protein clumps that drive neurodegenerative disease.
22-Jun-2026 Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics: Uncovering the geometric properties unique to energy-non-conserving systems Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku University Theoretical physicists at AIMR have identified conditions under which the geometric contribution to adiabatic amplification becomes path-independent in non-Hermitian quantum systems. Their framework, grounded in non-Hermitian Berry phase theory, reveals that the Petermann factor governs this behavior—offering both new geometric insights and a practical route to measuring this quantity experimentally.

22-Jun-2026 Researchers discover cause of neuron excitability in ALS Les Turner ALS Foundation Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they have also designed a new drug to stop this overfiring, which could potentially slow or stop the disease from progressing.
22-Jun-2026 Baby teeth act as biological time capsules of early-life exposures The University of Bergen Naturally shed baby teeth may hold the key to understanding how early-life environments shape health. In a new doctoral study at the University of Bergen, Norway, researchers show that primary teeth preserve a detailed biological record of exposures durin
