A range of novel bioactive glasses containing zinc and magnesium have recently been developed for dental and orthopaedic applications. At present little is known about the...

The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we...

We request beam time on Vesuvio to investigate the samples taken from and prepared in parallel with Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) Nb cavities in order to investigate the...

This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,...

Water is the most widely used moderator in neutron sources and nuclear reactors. Despite this fact, thermalization in water is still computed with models that are based on and...

Shale or tight oil is trapped in nano-porous rocks and is expected to play a key role in the energy supply in the future. Due to confinement, trapped fluids exhibit changes in...

The purpose with the proposed project is to provide a better understanding of structural changes in interfacial lipid layers due action of lipolytic enzymes. In this study we...

The full strength of the VESUVIO+ beamline on the Target Station 1 (TS1) will be exploited to globally tackle the local phenomenon of the tuneable thermal expansion in two...

Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. As a result, systems need to be highly reliable. This requires a...

We address the detailed atomistic mechanism of ferroelectricity in a new family of oxides typified by the composition CsNbW2O9. Contrary to the mechanism in most ferroelectrics,...

We propose to investigate the highly one-dimensional (1D) S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (NO)[Cu(NO3)3] which is a potential realization of the Nersesyan-Tsvelik model. The...

Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed...

These measurements are aimed to identify the metallurgical and chemical characteristics of some bronze coins, called ¿nummi¿, strucked under Roman Empire, V century A.D..The...

We propose to fully explore the field induced magnetically ordered phase of copper-nitrate, Cu(NO3)2.2.5D2O, at temperatures below 0.13 K and in fields up to 5 T. The key aims...

This proposal aims to explore cheap and environmental-benign cosurfactants (or cosolvents) for yielding CO2-philic hydrocarbon surfactant/water/CO2 microemulsions (W/CO2...

Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate...

DINS is capable of observing coherent tunneling of protons in a double well potential through the effects of the tunneling on the momentum distribution of the protons. In our...

Solvents are integral part of the world and so many charge transfer processes take place in a solutions. Unfortunately, not much is known about the microstructure of solvents...

The proposed research aims to probe the effects of alkyl chain length on the dynamics of a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) in bulk and in confinement in nano porous carbon...

Cinnabar is a natural mercury sulfide (HgS) mineral mined from the ancient past for use as a red pigment for body paint and ceramics, in jewellery-making and in medicinal...
