The Institut Laue-Langevin, usually called the ILL, is an internationally financed scientific facility on the Polygone Scientifique in Grenoble, France, and one of the world centres for research using neutrons. It was founded in 1967 and is named in honour of the physicists Max von Laue and Paul Langevin. Its RHF research reactor provided the most intense continuous neutron flux available in the world as of 2017. The neutron scattering facilities allow study of the structure of conducting and magnetic materials for future electronic devices, the measurement of stresses in mechanical materials, and investigation of macromolecular assemblies, including protein dynamics and biomolecular structure.
