Single-molecule brightness, a new dimension for super-resolution imaging in biology

A new method exploits the brightness of individual fluorophores, rather than their spectrum, to distinguish several proteins simultaneously, with no noticeable loss of resolution. These results, published in Nature Methods, are featured in a CNRS Physics news item

With JWST and ALMA, astronomers witness the birth of a new solar system

A study led by an international team, coordinated by Melissa McClure from the Leiden Observatory, and involving French researchers from the CNRS — Jennifer Noble from PIIM and Emmanuel Dartois from ISMO.

A newly identified intramolecular coupling mechanism

In the CH₃CO radical, a team from ISMO and PhLAM has revealed a previously unobserved coupling between the spin of an unpaired electron and the internal rotation of a methyl group (CH₃).

Proof of concept for the combination of Gemcitabine-loaded MOF and hadrontherapy to treat hypoxic cancers

In a study published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics, ISMO researchers have published the first study of an innovative strategy that combines porous organometallic nanoparticles (nanoMOFs) loaded with the anti-cancer drug Gemcitabine monophosphate (GemMP) and helium and carbon ion hadrontherapy.
