We request 3 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus, to perform in-situ neutron diffraction and thermogravimetric studies of the decomposition of deuterated alkaline amidoboranes....

The bacterial cell envelope is one of the best targets in antimicrobial development. This proposal focuses on understanding how lipids move between the membranes of the...

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...

We have recently prepared a new cobalt sulphate, Co3(SO4)3(OH)2[enH2], under solvothermal conditions. The structure of this material consists of edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra that...

Proteasome plays an important role in the processing of antigenenic proteins for presentation by the MHC class I pathway. PA28 is an activator of the 20S proteasome, a large...

We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution...

Protein adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces plays a key role in biomedical technologies such as biosensors or biomaterials for medical implants. Despite considerable progress...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents. The successful development of...

Dr Edler¿s group has recently been studying the interactions between polymers and surfactant micelles in solution in order to understand how this drives film formation at the...

Interesting behaviour in Heisenberg spin systems originates from networks of triangles or tetrahedra, where spins interact via antiferromagnetic interactions. In 3D there are...

Multiferroic materials are rare and exceptional: they are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic in the same phase and these two properties can couple. Recently, materials with complex...

Marine coatings are commonly based on silicone polymers, which have a low surface energy and a degree of deformability which contribute to release of marine fouling species. Low...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of different stimuli on a novel iron oxide core shell nanoparticles. The system is composed of a magnetite core with a...

Fossil fuels are the main contributor to global energy consumption, which has increased the amount of atmospheric CO2, increasing the severity of climate change and health...

This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of two energetic co-crystals - [CL-20:TNT] and nitroguanidine:nitropyridone....

Honeycomb ruthenates (Ru4+, 4d4) with strong spin-orbit coupling are expected to host unconventional magnetic ground state owing to a spin-orbital-entangled Jeff = 0 state. The...

Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different...

This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of an energetic co-crystal [CL-20:0.5 HMX] and an energetic salt containing...

Protecting biomolecules, such as proteins and enzymes, from the effects of cooling and freezing is important for the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals. Deep eutectic...

We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the...
