The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...

Controlled drug delivery must be supported by specialized multi-task devices for addressing a predetermined therapeutic dose in controlled physiological conditions. Combining...

We request 4 days on IRIS to investigate the diffusional and rotational dynamics of the alkalide forming, fully methylated aza-crown hexamethyl-hexacyclen (HMHC) in...

This is in continuation with our earlier proposal (RB910248) for which experiment was carried out during August 2009. Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like...

We request 8 days on IRIS to study the diffusion of adsorbed H2 gas and C2-hydrocarbons molecules within a gated indium-based porous metal-organic framework (MOF) as a function...

Protein–water interactions establish and shape the thermodynamic landscape that governs the folding, structure, stability, mechanics and activity of proteins, and thus...

We request 6 days on IRIS to study the diffusion of adsorbed gas molecules (H2, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6) within a functional porous metal-organic framework (MOF) as a function of...

This application seeks to discover whether it is possible to observe the tunnelling of the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina. To our knowledge, this is the first...

Micro-/nano- thermosensitive microgels are paramount in Nanomedicine, as they support a multifunctional approach for diseases treatment (localization and simultaneous controlled...

Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like assemblies and their correlation with microstructure is not very well understood although the structure and macroscopic...

A recent neutron study of a powder sample attests a splayed ferromagnetic structure for Yb2Ti2O7. However in the same work the authors report gapless magnetic excitations even...

The dynamics of liquid aluminium will be measured at the structure factor maximum up to twice the melting temperature. We are searching for changes in dynamics which should...

Hybrid hyaluronic acid (HA)/poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) [p(NiPAAm)] hydrogels undergo a volume phase transition as a function of temperature. Their swelling state depends also...

Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30...

Water dynamics plays a vital role in biochemical processes in a living organism. Intracellular water structure and dynamics are known to be changed by the presence of...

Water is crucial for the functioning of proteins. There has been substantial work to study the effect of water on protein dynamics, structure and function. However, how protein...

Water plays a critical role in determining the structure and function of biological system. A hydration level, h~0.2 g water/g protein, is often found to be the minimum...

A recent neutron study of a powder sample attests a splayed ferromagnetic structure for Yb2Ti2O7. However in the same work the authors report gapless magnetic excitations even...

Polysaccharide hydrogels are becoming increasingly important for biomedical applications. One of the most exploited saccharide-based biopolymer is hyaluronic acid (HYA), a...

The aim of this proposal is to study the internal dynamics of a novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au- bridged through a tridentate...
