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...

Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which...

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...

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...

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

Halide perovskites have been the focus of an intense research effort, ever since the discovery that they can be employed to fabricate highly efficient solar cells. One of the...

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...

NaxCoO2 has an exceptional combination of thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery and as...

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...

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 development of new functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as complex proton conductor is receiving increasing attention worldwide. We aim to develop new solid proton...

Despite abundant research on nanoconfined liquids, determining the density, which is a key property of the liquid, remains an open problem. All the previously explored...

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...

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...

The heat capacity and neutron powder diffraction measurements of the double perovskites La2NaB′O6 (B = Ru5+, Os5+) with S=3/2 on the B¿ reveal an incommensurate magnetic...

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...
