The mechanism of lipid transport in Gram-negative bacteria
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... -
Operando Neutron Reflectometry of Silicon/Oxygen Batteries – Analysis of Init...
The following proposal is aimed to provide new insights into surface passivation mechanism of Si electrodes in Si-O2 batteries and to validate the already published proof of... -
Exploratory SERGIS/SESANS study of Si nanowires
Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science as nanometer probes and interfacing with cells. In our work we focus on the interaction between nanowires and a... -
Membrane interactions of a viral scission protein
Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus... -
Polymer-surfactant films containing glucose sensors and structure directing p...
This proposal continues our research on mesostructured surfactant templated polymer films. The films are robust and form spontaneously at the air-water interface. Recent... -
Study of interface and induced magnetic moment in C60 in bi- and tri-layers o...
Single layer of Fe, bi- and tri-layers of C60/Fe are grown on MgO (001) substrate using DC magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporation for Fe and C60, respectively. The samples... -
Understanding Phospho-L-Serine (PS) role in the Organization of Cholesterol C...
Our goal is to understand the role of POPS, a lipid component only found in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane, in the organization of cholesterol in cell membranes. Our... -
Direct Observation of Gram Negative Bacterial Membrane Disruption by Supramol...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Can surfactants be pushed out of polymer layers by applying compression?
For many applications such as paints, foods and drug formulations, aggregation of colloidal particles is prevented by combining polymer and surfactant adsorption. Key to this... -
Investigation of the relevancy of the ¿strong coupling hot-spot¿ model of org...
A recent theoretical model has been proposed [Nat Phys 6, 615 (2011)] to explain MR in organic spin valves. It describes a coupling between the spacer and the FM electrode that... -
Antibiotic paths through the bacterial outer membrane: The strange case of va...
Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is... -
Probing the spatial distribution of fluorophores entering nanoscale pores in ...
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... -
Polymer brush profiles using off-specular reflection from the walls of trenches
Nature frequently uses charged, weak-polyelectrolyte brushes at interfaces to control surface function and properties; surface wetting, lubrication, to limit deposition of... -
Study of protein adsorption tuned via multivalent ions and the influence of s...
Protein adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces plays a key role in biomedical technologies such as biosensors or biomaterials for medical implants. Despite considerable progress... -
Novel block bottlebrush polyelectrolytes: The effect of cationic block charge...
In this work we will study a novel block copolymers consisting of a linear cationic block and uncharged bottle-brush block having 45 units long poly(ethylene oxide) side chains.... -
Heusler Alloy Thin Films for Spin Seebeck Devices
The spin Seebeck effect is a relatively new phenomenon that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to... -
Proving ground-state ordering in Artificial Spin-Ice systems formed by sub-10...
The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral... -
Adsorption of organics at the calcite/oil interface and the role of water
This proposal will exploit the unique ability of neutron reflection to characterise the adsorption of a key additive on the surface of calcite from a non-aqueous solvent and the...
