The gram-negative bacterial membrane is of extreme medical importance. Two of its major components are lipopolysaccharides (LPS's) and integral membrane proteins. Porins are...

Dendrimers are a unique class of nano-structured vehicles for drug and gene delivery into intracellular targets. Their surface chemistry influences their transport across...

We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already...

The MuSES project currently ongoing in the HiFi spectrometer gives unique opportunity in the field of photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. After two successful...

Nanodiscs are self assembled complexes of phospholipids and a class of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins . The proteins and lipids self-assemble...

Kekulé di-radical (KDR) with two radical centers of independent spins has a low-spin ground state (singlet S0 with antiparallel spins), and interestingly high-spin triplets (T1)...

In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied...

As part of a wider study we are studying the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences between...

DNA is a versatile building material for nanotechnology. We have recently studied a surface-tethered single-domain DNA motor by neutron reflection (IR) for the first time. We...

DNA is an extremely versatile building material for the development and assembly of functional nanostructures and nanodevices. There are numerous examples of DNA based...

Recently there have been considerable several reports of ¿nanostructured¿ perovskite oxides. In order to obtain detailed knowledge of the factors controlling the formation of...

We will use time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity measurements to follow the in-situ growth of polymer brushes by surface-initiated ATRP. This will enable us to determine...

The push globally for greener energy supplies has led to the discovery of new solar cell materials, which consist of an organic molecule surrounded by eight PbX5 octahedras...

Membrane Proteins (MPs) consist of about 1/3 of the proteome but the structural information available is very limited compared to that for soluble proteins. Despite this at...

As part of a wider study we are investigating the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences...

Having established the photo-MuSR method in intrinsic silicon to investigate excess carrier recombination lifetime and Mu-photocarrier dynamics in our previous experiments, we...

One of the challenges of developing Silicon-based spintronics technology is developing non-destructive methods for characterizing spin-polarized conduction electrons. Si is...

For polymer vesicles to act as effective molecular delivery systems we must efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like to use neutron...

We want to measure the SESANS from a series of large ~1 micron silica particles formed using the multistage Stöber method. The reason for this is to determine if we can see the...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...
