Study of pore-confined CO2 depletion below the bulk triple point
Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and... -
Interaction between the bioactive lipopeptide fengycin and lipid membranes
One class of bioactive lipopeptides produced by Bacillus subtilis, fengycin, has strong surfaceactivity and interesting antifungal property with low hemolytic activityTo gain... -
Surface adsorption of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Relation between surface tension and adsorbed amount of proteins at the air/w...
The surface tension of proteins often exhibits a reproducible lagtime, which is sensitiv to a range of conditions such as concentration, pH, ionic strength. We have also found... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a... -
Exploring the Catalytic Pathway of Butane Isomerisation
The petrochemical industry accounts for a large proportion of global chemical industry, as such even subtle improvements in product yield can result in significant economic and... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of the field dependent anisotropy of the s...
The bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7 is the first material found to have a quantum critical end-point and is believed to display ¿nematic electronic order¿. We have previously studied...
