Hydrogen bonding (HB) is an ubiquitous interaction. Weak HB (WHB) has long been acknowledged to exist such as: O-H ...... pi cloud, where either the aromatic electron cloud or...

Amphiphilic protein surfactant interactions are becoming increasingly important in all aspects of soft condensed matter for drug delivery, flavour enhancement, foam stability...

Hydrogen stands out as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, being able to yield clean energy when combined with oxygen, with an efficiency that is about three times higher...

The yeast Candida glabrata is becoming an increasing cause of infections. We have developed RNA interference tools that allow us to study the virulence and resistance mechanisms...

The experiment aims at the investigation of the local structure in novel perovskite oxyhydrides BaTiO3-xHx in the temperature range 300 ¿ 900 K by performing NPD experiments on...

The interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated ionic liquid (IL) will be studied at a gold electrode interface as a function of applied potential, bulk IL concentration and...

Marine biofouling compromises function and reliability of marine equipment, causing considerable economic and environmental damage. Biocides for fouling prevention are...

This proposal is concerned with determining the local structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well characterised temperature driven...

Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...

We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and...

WO3 is an important technological material with wide usage in gas-sensing devices but its low temperature phases are still mysterious. There are conflicting reports in the...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

Research to develop single phase materials that are polar and ferromagnetic at room temperature is driven by the hope of switching ferroelectric order with an applied electric...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are exotic states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations destroy long-range magnetic order. Here, we propose to...

It is partly due to quantum effects that hydrogen (and deuterium) exhibits a dramatic compressibility: in its fluid state, prior to freezing at room temperature at 5.5 GPa, it...

Ionic liquids (ILs) - salts that melt near room temperature - have remarkable properties as solvents for a wide variety of molecules and ions. ILs share with water the rare...

Multi metal deposition (MMD) is a new latent fingerprint enhancement technique that is extremely effective on plastics, including drug wraps and explosives wrapping; it is also...

This proposal seeks to shed light on the functional and structural characteristics of a specific membrane protein - cytochrome P450 reductase (abb. POR) - part of the cytochrome...

The rapidly increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide necessitates the development of novel technologies for sustainable carbon capture and utilisation procedures....
