Surprisingly little work has been done to gain understanding about the nature, stability and properties of nanoparticles dispersed in organic solvents (organosols). Recently...

Anthropogenic global warming is largely accepted by society and the need for alternative and renewable fuels is desired. One such alternative fuel is hydrogen, considered to be...

Biological membrane in plane organisation is a challenging topic, specially since it has been suggested to depend on curvature. So far the main approach to study curvature...

Ca3Co2O6 is an unusual system, with a highly anisotropic magnetic behaviour and a series of regularly spaced steps in magnetisation appearing at low temperatures in a magnetic...

The rapidly increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide necessitates the development of novel technologies for sustainable carbon capture and utilisation procedures....

Preparation of materials Co3-xNixSn2S2 (0 < x < 3) has enabled the effect of electron-doping on the thermoelectric properties of shandites to be investigated. DFT...

The primary biological function of albumins is to be fatty acid carriers. The complexation of fatty acids to the albumin is expected to have a strong effect on its adsorption...

The aim of the experiment is to improve understanding of the onset of the cavitation process in desorption, in order to, ultimately, better understand adsorbate behaviour and...

Electrolytes based on pyrochlores such as Ln2M2O7 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) have attracted attention due to their relative stability combined with relatively high ionic conductivity at...

This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible...

In the proposed experiment ammonia borane (NH_3BH_3) will be investigated through incoherent inelastic neutron scattering on TOSCA at low temperature. Since it is well known...

Oxide-ion and proton-conducting materials attract considerable interest thanks to their application as electrolytes in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We have recently...

Thermoelectric materials are attracting increasing attention due to their potential for waste heat energy recovery. The challenge in finding better thermoelectric materials lies...

Bismuth oxide based electrolytes have been widely studied due to their high oxide ion conductivity. The d-phase of Bi2O3 shows the highest known oxide-ion conductivity of any...

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...

BiFeO3 is by far the most widely studied multiferroic material and yet many mysteries remain in the phase diagram. One mystery is the crystal structure of the high T gamma...

Amine sorbents are pivotal to carbon capture, and the nature of the amine is shown to affect CO2 binding mechanisms. FT-IR has previously been used to explore the chemistry...

Bismuth niobium oxide (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer radio frequency and microwave components such as chip LCs and capacitors. While the low temperature forms of this...

Despite the abundancy of sea water there are 663 million people that lack access to safe drinking water. This is due to excessive energy consumption and hence cost coupled to...

Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of...
