We use inorganic nanoparticles grafted with polymers as membranes for gas separation. These membranes show remarkable enhancement in permeability as compared to the bulk...

Human hair has been studied by x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy for many years, however a complete picture of its structure is still missing. Hair is a weakly...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a wide class of organic molecules with multiply fused aromatic rings, are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. In the condensed phase...

Solar cells based on a layer of halide perovskite have recently seen rapid increases in efficiency, with certified values in excess of 20%. The prototypical material of this...

The physisorptive capacity of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their internal surface areas and pore dimensions. We have made electrospun...

Developing recombinant protein pharmaceuticals has proved to be very challenging because of both the complexity of protein production and purification, and the limited physical...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...

The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the...

Water supports vital biochemical processes in living organisms, namely through maintenance of the three-dimensional architecture of biopolymers by a tight interplay with their...

Solar cells based on a layer of halide perovskite have recently seen rapid increases in efficiency, with certified values in excess of 20%. The prototypical material of this...

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

Transition metal catalysts are ubiquitous in the academic and industrial study and application of synthetic chemistry. The properties of these catalysts can be augmented by...

This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to examine the differences between a sample of Sr2CoO2Cu1.85S2...

Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the...

Cupric(II) oxide (CuO) has recently found to be both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric in temperature region from 213 K to 230 K. This high temperature multiferroic material...

The results of these studies will provide valuable information on the effects of extreme conditions on the structures of an energetic salt and co-crystal formed between...

The structure and dynamics of water molecules in the presence of non-trivial confinement in porous systems has always created a lot of interest, both from an experimental and...

We aim to utilise Low-Energy Neutron Scattering (LENS) at OSIRIS to investigate the effects of gas adsorption on the quantum rotation of the methyl groups present in a Metal...

Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives are used in FCC units to convert gasoline...
