Crystallisation of amorphous calcium carbonate has been reported in the literature with various characterisation methods, and is thought to generally proceed via the following...

Identification of the mechanochemical processes occurring during fault slip is of fundamental importance to understand earthquake nucleation and propagation. We will use...

Solar cell materials are routinely used in many applications and many studies are ongoing which have three principle objectives. To increase the efficiency, reduce the cost of...

Graphene-based materials have unique structural and physiochemical properties, and have been exhibited as efficient working substances to filter salts in saline water....

Caesium-137 is among the most important hazards associated with low-level nuclear waste. Among the most promising materials for scavenging Cs+ ions from waste solutions are the...

Hydrotropes (Figure 3 A-C) are known viscosifying agents with surfactants in organic solvents1 and interestingly now in supercritical CO2 (scCO2)5. The mechanism is...

Geologists are increasingly realizing the unique perspective that neutron scattering offers for unlocking the complex geologic histories of rocks. In this study, we propose to...

Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,...

In this Rapid Access request we wish to study in situ formation of methane hydrates in the presence of weakly hydrophilic silica nanospheres. The aim of this research is to...

Bio-oil is an alternative and renewable energy from biomass, however, its high content of oxygenates result in low heating values and chemical/thermal instability. One effective...

Combined with computational modeling, in situ quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) at OSIRIS beamline will be employed to study ammonia transport and self- diffusivities at...

The recommended method for storage of spent nuclear fuels is in an underground repository for 100,000 years. Under the long timescales, containment will fail and radioactive...

Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable natural resources on Earth, and it has been estimated that in the order of 400,000 tonnes/year of paper and additional 100,000...

Insensitive munitions (IM) are munitions that will not react violently to accidental insult, thus they are relatively safe to handle and store. Ongoing research into IM has led...

Flocculation is important in many industrial processes and in other activities such as purification of water. The fractal dimension of a floc describes the density of particle...

It is now well established that the addition of the trivalent counterion, Al3+, induces surface multilayer formation in a range of anionic surfactants, including SLES, MES and...

The Indonesian government has passed a new policy regarding a mandatory regulation for all gas stations nationwide to replace existing diesel fuel to B-20 biofuel. Bio-oil is a...

Fibre Laser Beam Welding (FLBW) is a relatively new technology that has many advantages over other welding techniques. An understanding of the residual stress and...

Caesium-137 is among the most important hazards associated with low-level nuclear waste. Among the most promising materials for scavenging Cs+ ions from waste solutions are the...

Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. In this proposal, we seek to...
