The hydration structure in potassium borate solutions
Borate solution is a much peculiar substance, in which not only hydrated cation but also varied borate speciation such as [B3O3(OH)4], [B4O5(OH)42], [B(OH)4] and [B(OH)3] are... -
Sweet taste chemoreception unveiled. The case of lactose and sucrose.
In the late 1960s, a molecular theory of sweet taste was proposed, based on the presence of a ?functional structure? in all sweeteners, eliciting the sweet response via the... -
Structure of amorphous Porous Aromatic Framework 1
Materials that are porous at the atomic scale have proven to be important for many applications, including gas capture and catalysis. Recently it has become possible to make... -
The structure of ammonia borane in ammonia and THF
In this proposal we aim to understand the solvation of AB by two of the most important solvents ? ammonia and THF. Neutron diffraction is a key technique in this context because... -
High pressure structural study of BaD2
Simple hydrides are of scientific interest due to their suitability for storage of hydrogen in the solid state. These materials also display a wealth of interesting physics,... -
Interaction of Chiral Amino Acids with Hydrated Vermiculite Clay
The aim of this proposal is to obtain an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids on mineral surfaces. Our previous experiments on LOQ and at ILL on D16... -
Cryopreservation in biological systems: glutamine as a model system to study ...
Many living organisms have developed mechanisms that protect them from extremeenvironmental stresses such as freezing and pressure. One common mechanism involvesaccumulation of... -
Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -
Comparison of the Compression Behaviour of BaSnO3 and Ba0.575Sr0.425SnO3
We propose to study the effect of pressure on the structure of the tetragonal Ba0.575Sr0.425SnO3, The behaviour will be compared to the compression of the cubic BaSnO3 (parent... -
