Annexins are a ubiquitous group of membrane associated proteins found in animals, plants and fungi. They are linked to wide range of functions including phospholipid...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

Reflectometry is a technique that is capable of vector magnetometry. By selecting the appropriate valves of Q we could access the different forms of magnetic disorder, either...

Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into...

For several years, we have been studying the thermodynamics of the metamagnetic phase transition in CoMnSi and substituted versions. Our motivation has been that the...

FeSe1-xSx is an important model system for investigating the relationship between superconductivity and nematicity. The nematicity can be suppressed systematically by the...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705) / Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

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...

We seek to develop new stable MOFs for practical separation and storage of CO2 and light hydrocarbons and request 3 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites of adsorbed...

Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is...

The muSR experiments on a diluted Ising antiferromagnet HoxY1-xRu2Si2 are proposed for aiming verification of the Griffiths singularity. In preceding neutron scattering and muSR...

Creep lifetime of high temperature power plant materials are significantly affected due to predicted and unpredicted cyclic loading during plant operation. Our previous study...

Neutron scattering will allow to advance the understanding of lipoprotein behavior in solution and at the interface of relevant biological interfaces. Here we focus on HDL...

The Gram negative bacterial outer membrane protects the bacterium from external toxins such as antibiotics. This is partially responsible for Gram negative bacteria becoming the...

In this proposal, we would like to propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on the powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets AFeO2 (A=Cu and Ag) using WISH. In...

In 2010 several groups showed that iron selenide, already a superconductor at 8 K, could be charged with alkali cations leading to higher critical temperatures. These compounds...

Objectives of this proposal aim to shed light on how adsorption processes such as protein A chromatography, used to purify biologics, affect protein propensity for aggregation....

Spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions, based on a structure of free ferromagnet (FM)/nonmagnetic metal or insulator/pinned FM, have been extensively used in magnetic field...

The Gram negative bacterial outer membrane protects the bacterium from external toxins such as antibiotics. This is partially responsible for Gram negative bacteria becoming the...

In the current proposal, we require TOSCA to investigate by vibrational spectroscopy the apparent amorphous nature of the prototype drug molecule ibuprofen confined by...
