At the radioactive ion beam facility, ISOLDE-CERN, more than 900 isotopes of 70 elements are produced and delivered as radioactive ion beams of high elemental and isotopic purity. At ISOLDE an extensive solid state programme of research has been in place for many years and continues to develop and expand by the year. This activity embraces a wide range of techniques and materials.

In this talk I will detail the recent successes of experiments at ISOLDE, and of the unique advantages that radioactive probes can bring. Results from the previous few years will be presented from the main areas of work: semiconductor physics, multiferroic materials and biophysics.
