The insertion of peptides and proteins into cell membranes is crucial for the functioning of cells, and also for the functioning of a variety of antibacterial reagents. Cells...

Nitrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are an interesting set of materials specifically for their potential in reversible hydrogen storage. However, many fundamental...

Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data...

Fluorides form model systems with which we can test ideas about muon sites. We therefore propose a series of short experiments on well-defined fluoride systems that will be...

Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most...

The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen...

A Unilever proprietary technology has been shown to inhibit biofilm growth and development, and is also found to possess antimicrobial activity, effective both as a...

Simple hydrides are of scientific interest due to their suitability for storage of hydrogen in the solid state. These materials also display a wealth of interesting physics,...

We have recently demonstrated, using neutron reflectivity in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO)...

We propose to study a range of new selenium containing lower energy gap organic photovoltaic materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials...

This proposal seeks to investigate the polymorphism and polymerisation of glycolide. Glycolide is a six-memebered ring structure that polymerises into poly(glycolic acid) and is...

We propose a high-pressure neutron powder diffraction study of the crystal structure of deuterated ammonium iodate, ND4IO3, which is known to undergo a ferroelectric phase...

We request 2 days on SANDALS to characterise the temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles as they will be used in a more detailed study on NIMROD in Feburary...

The ammonium anion is comparatively soluble in ice and may also increase the solubility of associated cations that would otherwise not be easily accommodated in the crystal...

Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3 are MAX phases that exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics of both ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical,...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿...

The keris is the distinctive weapon of Malaysia and Indonesia. It is found in a variety of forms but, typically, it is an elongated dagger or short sword of slender proportions...

Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects....

NdMnO3 exhibits A-type antiferromagnetism with TN =73 K. At 15 K, Nd sublattice orders with a (0, -Fy, 0) type ferromagnetic arrangement. Mn spin reorientation from (Ax, Fy, 0)...

Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform...
