Remarkably, hydrogen may be activated for chemical reaction at room temperature using a new family of frustrated Lewis acid-base pair (FLB) materials. In these complexes...

A series of recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments on low-temperature D2+H2 and Ne+H2 mixtures have revealed pronounced deviations from the Gaussian...

Research focused on improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of great importance for energy generation and transportation. A much desired way of achieving this is the...

We are requesting 5 days of beamtime on HRPD to measure powder diffraction patterns of KOs2O6 under He gas high pressure up to 150 MPa. KOs2O6 exhibits a novel phase transition...

We will study the formation of methane hydrates in situ in the presence of swelling clays. The aim is to understand and control heterogeneous hydrate nucleation at this...

This proposal aims to use small angle neutron scattering for characterization of hydrogen adsorption (including the provision of a quantitative value for the absolute hydrogen...

In our daily life, we are aware that liquid and its vapour can coexist. As we increase the temperature and pressure, however, there is a point called the critical point where...

Sequestration of carbon dioxide in natural and engineered porous materials is most viable option to mitigate the anthropogenic CO2. However, the fundamental understanding of...

The hypothetical connection between liquid water and the two liquid phases: Low Density Liquid (LDL) and High Density Liquid (HDL) has been difficult to prove experimentally...

King Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, offers a unique insight into Tudor life. As well as her value as one of the first purpose built warships of the modern period,...

This beamtime request is part of a long term project based on the liquids diffractometer SANDALS and aimed at developing the use of Paris-Edinburgh press for liquids and in...

In recent high pressure experiments (S. Klotz et al., Nature Materials, DOI 10.1038/ NMAT2422, 23.4.2009) we discovered a salt hydrate based on a high-pressure ice form, i.e....

Existing fossil fuels are on the verge of extinction and thus in this scenario renewable fuels are need of hour. Hydrogen is potential energy source and can be stored in carbon...

Carbon dioxide is a commonly used fluid in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). CO2 EOR process can contribute to the minimisation of the impact of greenhouse gas emission by keeping...

Considerable work has been carried out at ISIS with the aim of studying muoniated radicals in the gas phase by RF techniques. This has been motivated both by a desire to...

The aim of the experiment is to improve understanding of the onset of the cavitation process in desorption, in order to, ultimately, better understand adsorbate behaviour and...

The structure and properties of the high-pressure phase of ammonia dihydrate, ADH-II, have been challenging to determine. However, the structure has been solved recently by...

This proposal explores headgroup-free, fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid compounds able toform viscous elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 with the aim of improving...

The need for structural materials that can resist hydrogen assisted degradation becomes critical for the continuation of the development of the hydrogen economy. Understanding...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...
