A conformational analysis of usnic acid by Inelastic Neutron Scattering spectroscopy is envisaged, aiming at a better understanding of the equilibrium between inter- and...

Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...

Antique objects made of Cu-Sn or Cu-Zn alloys have been widely characterised by neutron diffraction. However, the employment of binary alloys gave way to the use of more common...

Cytochromes P450 play a key role in drug metabolism in man. Electrons are supplied to the cytochromes by NADPH through the flavoprotein NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR)....

We propose the investigation of four slag samples coming from an Iron Age furnace in Hüttenberg (Hesse Region, Austria). The materials we intend to measure were recovered from...

Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designerproperties. The protic ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been identified as potential gene vectors. We have studied their association with surfactants, dilauroylphospholiponucleosides (DLPN),...

The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel...

Residual stresses can have substantial and detrimental influences on the integrity of power plant infrastructure. In this work, we aim to characterise the development and...

We have recently investigated a hybridization gap in Kondo systems using HET and several papers along with a review have been published. Our study shows a universal scaling...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties.The protic ionic liquids (PILs) are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

The aim of this experiment is to explore the segmental mode of natural rubber NR by means of quasielastic neutron scattering, QENS, and observe the influence of natural...

Polysaccharide hydrogels are becoming increasingly important for biomedical applications. One of the most exploited saccharide-based biopolymer is hyaluronic acid (HYA), a...

Recently [RB 900007], we have demonstrated that it is possible to determine the detailed site-by-site behaviour of hydrogen during in-situ absorption and desorption in metal...

NaxC60 and LixC60 are wide theoretically studied systems for hydrogen storage. We recently investigated the hydrogen absorption/desorption of Na10C60 and we found that up to 3.5...

This experiment has important applications in the power generation industry, and is a continuation of two experiments completed at the ILL where we have characterised the...

Ceramics manufacturing is one of the older and intensive human activities in all civilizations, from prehistoric to modern ones. In addition, potteries are approximately...

Antioxidants are receiving increased attention for their potential effects in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease as...
