Meet our fantastic ILL recruiters at the #jobdating sessions (engineering, electronics, instrumentation, nuclear manufacturing, quantum materials, tomography...) and ask all your questions !
The high-flux reactor is now getting ready to operate 3 cycles from late March until October 2026. And we are already thinking about the next anniversary: the big 6๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ milestone we will celebrate in 2027... Stay tuned for this special one! โจ
Some colleagues went on to new adventures while others have joined. We opened our brand new exhibition to visitors, and we hope to continue developing it.
During this year, much has happened. ILL operations until (at least) 2033 are now confimed and the new science strategy is being deployed. Several instruments welcomed their first teams of users or tested new support tools and sample environments.
๐ ILL birthday is today! ๐
On this ๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฒ, we canโt resist to re-share last yearโs video, which highlights so well the mix of people, languages and cultures that makes the ILL.
Kicking off the year with a fun #OpenDay for families and friends!
A new exhibition center launched for the occasion in our welcoming building. About 150 visitors in experimental zones to get close to instruments and learn about the ILL technology that constantly improves our research capacities.

"Scientific progress is often limited by the tools at our disposal. [...] This leap in instrumentation doesn't just advance technology - it accelerates discovery, offering our users a powerful new lens to explore the fundamental properties of matter under extreme conditions,โ Eddy Leliรจvre-Berna
Using density functional theory calculations, researchers from ILL and Chalmers University of Technology modeled how hydride ions diffuse under different conditions and quantified how ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง affects the ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ซ that a ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ to move from one site to another.
โโโ Mixed-anion materials are chemical compounds that contain positive ions (cations) and more than one kind of negative ions (anions) within a single crystal structure. This mixing of anions modifies bond strengths, enhances chemical reactivity and enables faster anion diffusion.

Extreme situations require extreme molecules
๐ก๏ธ Bacteria can be surprisingly resistant - they can survive in boiling hot or freezing cold conditions, under extreme pressure, and in strong acids - and in this study, neutron-based techniques show why.
