Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) are emerging as a promising category of materials, which might find applications in optical storage of information, optical wave guiding,...

Antimicrobial resistance is a global epidemic and has occurred due to a widespread antibiotic overconsumption. Gram negative bacteria, such as P. aeruginosa (leading cause of...

We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in...

We propose to test and pre-commission the recently constructed LET incident beam polariser. The device employs high powered lasers to optically pump a 3He neutron spin filter...

Pyrite (FeS2) is a hydrophobic mineral surface, i.e. of a type thus far inaccessible to the types of aqueous adsorption experiments suitable for study by reflectometry (NR), but...

The outer membrane of gram negative bacteria is an asymmetrical structure containing complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPS¿s) on the outer surface. LPS¿s are anchored...

Single molecule thin films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the...

The outer membrane of Gram negative bacterial is an effective barrier for many harmful agents. We have been developing and testing advanced models of the Gram negative bacterial...

This study will examine a process of slow dynamic change in surface excess of a unique pH-responsive chelating surfactant at the air/liquid interface that occurs over a period...

Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,...

The Gram negative bacterial outer membrane protects the bacterium from external toxins such as antibiotics. This is partially responsible for Gram negative bacteria becoming the...

Following our previous study of interfacial adsorption of the basic version mAb COE-3, we wish to continue this work by exploring how two modified mAbs adsorb at the same...

The Gram negative bacterial outer membrane protects the bacterium from toxins such as antibiotics and is partially responsible for the rapid rise in antibiotic resistance in...

The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common...

Biological membranes do not only occur as planar bilayer structures, but bilayers have also been shown to, depending onthe lipid composition, curve into intriguing 3D...

Atherosclerosis is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality with 31 % of all deaths in 2008 linked to cardiovascular disease. The development of the disease has...

Migration and surface segregation of low molecular weight oligomers in adhesive formulations is a poorly understood, but hugely important phenomenon, responsible for most of the...

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs...

Understanding and controlling the interaction of nanoparticles with biomaterials is key to alleviation of concerns about nanotoxicity. This knowledge can also be used to design...

Proper intracellular cholesterol transport is critical for various cellular functions and any abnormality can lead to several fatal diseases such as atherosclerosis,...
