Shale or tight oil is trapped in nano-porous rocks and is expected to play a key role in the energy supply in the future. Due to confinement, trapped fluids exhibit changes in...

This proposal aims to extend the understanding of uracil-ionic liquid interactions, in particular the C¿H2¿¿¿O=C interaction postulated to exist in a recently published study....

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

This experiment exploits the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of nanofibrils of a molecular gelator dibenzylidene sorbitol from alkane solutions on...

Our previous in situ study of benzene hydrogenation by Pt/MCM-41 (RB1220486) allowed us to monitor the transformation of the total scattering pattern as a function of time...

This project aims to examine the structure of microemulsions formed by water and 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium-based ionic liquids with the acetate or octanoate anion. These...

Ionic liquids based on biocompatible ions such as amino acids are of significant interest since they offer access to a lower-cost and lower-toxicity family of green solvents for...

This proposal is a continuation of our previous experiment on NIMROD (Rb 1520094), where we studied aqueous solutions of trehalose (33 wt% trehalose) as well as myoglobin in the...

Simulations have demonstrated that mimicking the metal-oxide interface in porous media produces significant variations in the solvents structure over the metal and the oxide for...

Over 75% of all chemicals and fuels require the use of a catalyst in their generation. However, despite their ubiquity, very little is known on the atomic and molecular...

Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

We aim to investigate three representative systems from a family of ionic liquids based upon amino acid anions. This particular sub-group of ionic liquids has been successfully...

This proposal is Disordered Materials Express. In collaboration IPCF-CNR, Bari,Italy, we synthesized particular coreshell (inorganic/organic materials) nanomaterials (NPs)....

Solid alumina Al2O3 has many industrial applications. Recently it was found that porous anodic alumina film formed by anodizing aluminium in an appropriate acidic/alkaline...

In this proposal we will study the structure of the myoglobin-trehalose-water system. It is well known that trehalose has an excellent cryo- and bioprotective role for...

The aim of this proposed study is to explore protic ionic liquids formed from by combining bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imidic acid (H[NTf2]) with imidazole and pyridine at...

This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the...

Condensation is the phenomenon of turning vapour into liquid, and this happens differently in open and confined spaces. The latter occurs under lower vapour pressure, and is a...
