Solar radiation over and under sea ice was measured by radiation station 2019R8, an autonomous platform, installed on drifting First-Year-Ice (FYI) in the Arctic Ocean during...

The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age sword. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of...

Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further...

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a...

Li-enriched layered transition metal cathode materials are attracting long-standing interest since they exhibit energy densities and capacities significantly higher than the...

The Bragg edge transmission technique (BET) is a diffraction method exploiting the edges appearing in the transmitted neutron spectra crossing polycrystalline materials and is...

We propose total scattering experiments on samples of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 perovskites with x = 0, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.15 to resolve issues over the local structure and degree of...

The use of deuteration to overcome the difficulties associated with the incoherent scattering from hydrogen, is a well established technique. However, there are increasing...

For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Muon studies of Au NPs encapsulated in 'SBA-15' silica are...

Bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3, is a much-studied ceramic showing both dielectric and magnetic ordering at relatively high temperatures. In order to improve its properties there has...

New families of materials of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries, with greater capacities, are required to more effectively meet the world’s energy storage demands....

Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate...

Research focused on improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of great importance for energy generation and transportation. A much desired way of achieving this is the...

Zirconia-ceria ceramics are promising materials within automotive exhaust catalysts, exploiting the Ce3+<->Ce4+ redox reactions to store oxygen. For a Zr:Ce ratio of 1:1...

An analogue of the popular surfactant AOT with isopropyl glycol tails (IG-AOT, Figure.1) has been recently designed as a co-surfactant for water-in-CO2 (w/c) systems: stable...

Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric...

The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common...

Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant...

We have prepared some new mixed-metal oxides using a chemical synthesis approach that provides access to materials not seen using other techniques. The materials are potentially...
