About
The Institut Laue-Langevin is an international research centre at the leading edge of neutron science and technology, offering researchers an exceptionally high neutron flux through around 40 state-of-the-art instruments that are constantly being developed and upgraded.
As a service institute, the ILL makes its facilities and expertise available to visiting scientists. Every year, about 1400 researchers from over 40 countries visit the ILL and more than 1000 experiments selected by a scientific review committee are performed.
About 60% of the research at ILL focuses on fundamental science in fields such as condensed matter, physics, chemistry, biology, nuclear physics, and materials science.
The remaining 40% is dedicated to directly addressing modern societal challenges, namely in health, energy, the environment, and information technologies. For example, research is being conducted to explore how nuclear medicine can contribute to the fight against cancer, to develop new materials that can help meet tomorrow’s energy challenges. or new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
