Atmospheric climate change is strongly influenced by clouds and the oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity of the planet. Clouds...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...

This experiment will determine the influence of second phase precipitation on subsequent post heat treatment cold compression for heat treatable aluminium alloys. Immersion...

We propose to carry out in-situ neutron diffractometry on testpieces of a latest-generation single crystal superalloy. This work is in support of current EPSRC projects...

Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications....

This proposal intends to investigate two ideas relating to TRIP steels in one experiment. Firstly, in-situ cooling under constant elastic stress will be performed to determine...

This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on...

We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the Ortho-II order YBCO6.5 superconductor at energies above 100 meV. This study will be aimed at searching for the broadening of...

DINS is capable of observing coherent tunneling of protons in a double well potential through the effects of the tunneling on the momentum distribution of the protons. In our...

The effect of isotope exchange on the Néel temperature in the cuprates was neer determined because it was impossible to perform relaible isotope exchanges in the parent...

While peripheral membrane protein-lipid interactions were originally considered to be solely electrostatic in nature, it is now accepted that they encompass more complicated,...

In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick...

CeIr3Si2 reveals highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall crystal electric field (CEF) splitting of the J=5/2...

We propose an investigation in which the crystal structure of Fe2(CO)9 will be studied as a function of pressure. This compound has previously been investigated by high pressure...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on a frustrated antiferromagnet CuFeO2 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure...

Peptide surfactants are a group of interesting biomimetic amphiphiles capable of forming a range of nanostructures. The aim of this work is to use SANS to determine the...

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....

LCST, or ¿cloud point¿ is a property of some types of polymers in solution. At low temperatures, the polymers are fully solvated and exist as extended conformations in solution....

The main objective of the present study is to gain an understanding of the nature of the interaction of ¿phospholipid membranes¿ with small, interfering RNA (siRNA) in the...
