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

The proposed experiment addresses the dynamics of surfactants in amphiphile/water systems during the topological transition, with a focus on the membrane with non-lamellae...

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...

We propose to measure spin waves in detwinned SrFe2As2, combined with our data on detwinned BaFe2As2 this allows us to understand if magnetic excitations in the two systems can...

Nanostructured carbons are promising precursors for a high-capacity reversible hydrogen storage material with fast kinetics, but the interaction of H2 with pure graphite is too...

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...

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,...

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...

We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading...

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

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...

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...

Increasing the density of hydrogen storage is critical for the commercial introduction of hydrogen vehicles. Our nanostructured electrospun ammonia borane (AB)-polystyrene (PS)...

In this proposal we would like to study the dynamics of interlayer species in hydrotalcite clay: (a) water and (b) terephthalate anions. In the case of water, the aim is to...

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...

In this proposal we aim to understand the solvation of AB by two of the most important solvents ? ammonia and THF. Neutron diffraction is a key technique in this context because...

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...

Flexible functional materials are important candidates of current research, because of their potential applications in plastic electronics. Organic ferroelectrics and...

We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to...
