This work aims to understand the precipitation behaviour of nanoscale precipitates in 17-4PH grade martensitic stainless steel as a function of aging time and temperature.17-4PH...

Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a very powerful technique for the study of thin layers. It is able to measure composition, thickness and roughness and is a very penetrating...

The crystallisation of membrane proteins is of great interest, not least, to the pharmaceutical industry. We have recently begun a project aiming to investigate the role played...

Traditional methods of viral detection are based on the isolation and culture of viral pathogens, but often viruses cannot be cultivated under laboratory conditions,...

Exosomes are released by cells are responsible for cell-cell communication of macromolecules and the development of disease such as cancer. These nanoparticles are loaded with...

We propose to study a range of new lower energy gap organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials to be studied...

Adsorption of proteins at all surfaces has a characteristic lagtime which can be monitored by surface tension at the air/water interface. The cause of the lagtime is not...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of collagen based polypeptide and its interaction with ionic surfactants at the...

We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In...

We have developed a new and benign method for the production of cellulose based aerogels, highly porous materials with applications in insulation, drug delivery, gas storage,...
