The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range...

Lipidic cubic nanoparticles (LCNPs) have been extensively studied as therapeutic agents and delivery systems due to their biocompatibility, ease of drug encapsulation and...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight...

The melilite family are new xoide ion conductors with high mobility at low temperatures. Average structures suggest that the ability of the structure to accomodate high levels...

Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as...

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¿...

Co-polymers confined in small droplets may have a structure different from that in the bulk. These droplets are produced by annealing a spin-coated polymer film with a thickness...

Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with moderate cost. As such, it is very promising for e.g. industrial gas...

We have recently improved the stability and coverage of free standing bilayers (FSB) by the use of a supporting thiolipid layer on gold. The system has been investigated on...

Chiral magnetism in non-centrosymmetric systems that have a strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is a burgeoning field, with chiral skyrmions attracting enormous interest....

The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This...

We have a continuing interest in the structural role of lone-pair cations in glasses. Thallium oxide behaves unusually in borate glasses, not only in terms of its own...

The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation....

Meibomian lipids spread on the surface of tears to enable formation of a stable film. Our data show that meibum forms duplex films that have physical properties not emulated by...

We plan to perform transverse field and zero-field μSR experiments to investigate the temperature dependence of the relaxation rate in the superconducting phase of...

We have now established that multilayering at the air-water interface is a widespread phenomenon brought about by multivalent ions, whether polyelectrolyte, oligoelectrolyte or...

Nanocarbon materials such as C60 show fascinating transport properties when in contact with a ferromagnet. Previous results indicate that this could be due to a spin polarized...

This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...
