ILL (Institut Laue-Langevin)

The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) is a research facility in France that specializes in producing intense neutron beams for scientific studies. These neutrons are used by researchers worldwide to investigate the structure and properties of materials at the atomic level, such as metals, ceramics, and biological samples. By understanding how materials behave at this microscopic scale, scientists can develop new materials, improve existing ones, and gain insights into fundamental physical and chemical processes. ILL plays a vital role in advancing knowledge across physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science through its state-of-the-art neutron research techniques.
