It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to...

The intermetallic Mo3Sb7 compound exhibits superconductivity at Tc=2 K and exhibits interesting physical properties in the magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and...

The characteristics of metal alloys have always been considered crucial for the sound quality of organ pipes. Tin-rich materials were studied for conservation issues, like the...

Thermoelectricity enables the conversion of waste heat into useful power, and it is becoming increasingly important for power recovery applications at high temperature, where...

Lithium fluoride (LiF) doping of aluminum electrodes is used in organic electronics. As a result of the chemical reaction between LiF and aluminum, the contact resistance is...

Pb2FeMO6 phases are of interest as potential multiferroics. We have prepared a new non-centrosymmetric pyrochlore-derived structure containing anion vacancy ordering...

Hertbertsmithite ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 is a model S =1/2 kagome antiferromagnet, received much attention last years. From recent studies a sign of a nearby quantum phase transition...

The title compound, more succinctly referred to as HMT-hydrate, is a rare example of a water-framework zeolite structure with an organic guest molecule hydrogen bonded to the...

Co-crystals of 4-methylpyridine and pentachlorophenol (MP-PCP) exhibit the very unusual property of isotopic polymorphism, formation of different phases by samples differing...

The search for new porous materials is increasingly be driven by socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based...

The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of hydrated lysozyme in presence of trehalose, glycerol and trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration in...

There are a number of room temperature multiferroics based on BiFeO3. The BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 (BFPT) system shows ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature...

The myelin sheath is a multilayered membrane wrapped around axons in the vertebrate nervous system; it enables the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. It contains a set of...

Water plays a critical role in determining the structure and function of biological system. A hydration level, h~0.2 g water/g protein, is often found to be the minimum...

The separation membrane is a key component in Polymer electrolyte fuel cells. It must be both an ionic conductor and an electronic insulator. Cellulose nanofibrill membranes...

The development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine, in particular for storage of biological matter. The detailed characteristics of the cooling...

Co3Sn2S2 is a metallic ferromagnet with Tc = 177 K, which crystallizes in a shandite-type structure. Below the Curie temperature its electronic structure forms a half-metal...

We propose continued study of the muonium emission from silica aerogel using Muonium Spin Rotation (MuSR) following success of the proof-of-principle measurement. This time, we...

Already in the low temperature region of the water adsorption behaviour in faujasite NaX at different hydration levels, an important question arise: is this behaviour...

Water is the source of life, but the effects of hydration water on the dynamics and function of biological and bio-compatible macromolecules are still full of debates. Chen et...
