The body is protected from the external environment by the stratum corneum (SC) layer of the skin. It is believed that the lamellar lipid matrix, which encases the corneocytes,...

We have recently succeeded in measuring the excitation spectrum of charge doped cuprate chains with a 90 degree Cu-O-Cu bonding geometry. This study resolved a long standing...

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric generators. The...

This proposal is a continuation of prior combined NMR, SANS and diffraction measurements to characterise templated silicas, as part of a program to inform the behaviour of...

For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of...

Softwood hemicellulose (galactoglucomannan, GGM) is one of the major plant polysaccharides found in cell walls after cellulose. It makes up to 25% of the wood in Sweden,...

Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a...

Nanoporous carbons are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is difficult to predict. Our...

During the first cycle of an alkali battery, a passivation layers forms on the electrode surface called the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which can grow upon further...

Following our very recent work on the dynamic co-adsorption of our control antibody COE-3 and nonionic surfactant PS80-7EO from the mixed solution, We request 3 days of Inter...

We propose to use SANS to study the intra-particle information (size, shape, interactions) of pristine and zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS in order to have a better understanding of...

In the framework of the FIRENZE HYDROLAB research project(http://www.iccom.cnr.it/hydrolab/), a number of polymeric metal formates has been synthesized,with interesting...

We have recently shown that dense monolayers of PC can be assembled on gold surfaces using a new omega thiol PC from Avanti. This has two advantages over our previous methods....

We wish to measure polymersomes having a long PEO chain which we develop for radionuclide encapsulation and which we believe improves blood circulation in vivo. Specifically we...

Coexistence between the phenomena of superconductivity and ferromagnetism relies on mechanisms such as spin triplet superconductivity. Through spin scattering events, a...

The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving...

When materials are dissolved in solvents the solvent can become ordered around the solute, usually considered to be an ion that is a single atomic ion or a molecular ion. 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...

An eggshell membrane polypeptide is highly surface active and effective at emulsion stabilization. We explore how to use SANS to study the interfacial layers surrounding the...

Biological membrane mimics are a bottle neck in biophysical studies today. The need to develop advanced models that actually represent the properties of specific cellular...
