Breast cancer (BC) often metastasizes to bone. Bone tissue is highly dynamic and the cellular and structural microenvironment are strongly interlinked. Mineralized tissue is...

U-RHYTHM, www.u-rhythm.co.uk, is a groundbreaking wearable diagnostic clinical research device at the Bristol Medical School that uses micro-dialysis to sample hormones directly...

The overarching aim of this project is to re-examine the long-debated issue of the pressure-induced inversion symmetry breaking in perovskite oxides. Although this phenomenon is...

Most low-CO2 cements use ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), a Ca-Mg-Al-Si-glass generated as a by-product from iron-making. However, this resource is to become scarce...

The aim of this proposal is to investigate the the evolution of the atomic lattice in a van der Waals (vdW) multiferroic CuCrP2S6 as a function of pressure and temperature....

We propose to employ element-specific x-ray magnetic dichroism to investigate the local spin configuration in thin films of RuO2, a prime member of a new class of compensated...

This study aims to investigates the nucleation and growth mechanisms of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and gold nanostars (GNSs) using time-resolved in situ small-angle X-ray...

The main goal of this proposal is a high-resolution temperature-dependent EXAFS study at the Co K-edge on the well-characterized pristine and modified La0.5Ba0.5CoO2.85 by...

Nanoarchitected materials have been shown to possess ultra-high mechanical energy absorption due to their unique structure. The exact underlying mechanisms for this high energy...

The identification of environmental risk factors suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is preventable. Among the environmental risk factors, the neurotoxic metal cadmium is of...

Optimizing pretreatment conditions for Pd-based catalysts in CO2 hydrogenation has been shown to significantly enhance catalytic performance. Specifically, pretreatment at 350...

We are proposing to measure the acoustic velocity (vs and vp) of enstatite, the second most abundant mineral in ultramafic assemblages at depths extending to ~ 400 km beneath...

Furfural is a pivotal renewable platform molecule obtained from the chemical breakdown of hemicellulose. While it has traditionally been valorized to value-added chemicals...

A new experiment is proposed for operando acquisition of O K-edge XAS spectra through XRS for sodium-ion battery (SIB) cathode. This would be the first experiment suitable for...

SmFe5As3 adopts a monoclinic symmetry (space group P21/m, Pearson symbol mP18, a = 7.1848(8) Å, b = 3.8531(4) Å, c = 9.710(1)Å, β = 100.55(1)°) and is isostructural with UCr5P3....

Nanowires (NWs) that combine a semiconductor and a ferromagnet in a core-shell geometry gained attention as building blocks of spintronic and magnetic data storage devices, and...

The anionic headgroup of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), a key structural and functional component of the Gram-negative bacteria outer membrane, is a main target by cationic...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline, modular, and porous materials used in catalysis, gas separation, and storage. Some MOFs exhibit "gate-opening" behavior, where...

In the past seven years, the PI, in collaboration with ID06-HXM staff and the DTU, has led advancements in DFXM achieving 100 nm resolution in 3D imaging of crystalline...
