Observation of low energy modes of adsorbed CO on a catalyst
Carbon monoxide occurs widely in industry in many roles. It is a feedstock for methanol synthesis and in Fischer-Tropsch chemistry for synthetic petrol and diesel. It is a... -
Structure, incompressibility and thermal expansion of ammonia dihydrate II
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... -
Investigation of a frustrated quantum magnet with novel interaction scheme
SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of... -

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of... -
Hydrogen containing intermediates during catalytic CO2 reduction on sulfides
We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different... -
Cryopreservation of liver cell spheroids used in artificial liver bio-transpl...
The development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine, in particular for storage of biological matter. The detailed characteristics of the cooling... -
In-Situ Studies of Alternative Mobile-Ions for High-Temperature Thermal Batte...
Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,... -
Dental Cements and Inelastic Neutron Scattering: Meeting the Challenges of To...
In typical odontological studies water sorption in the restoration material is determined by weighing freshly mixed cement at regular intervals. In the case of resin-modified... -
