Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte...

Glycerol carbonate has potential to become one of the most important sustainable chemical intermediates of the future. It has imprtant uses as a solvent, as a chemical, and as a...

Lysosomes are subcellular organelles with acidic interiors (pH 3.5-5), containing enzymes that break down macromolecules and intracellular waste. Controlled release of lysosomal...

This application focuses on the study of two important lithium ion battery materials. We intend to use our newly developed cell design which allows for the cycling of battery...

Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum...

We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing...

Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the...

Bacterial LPS (endotoxin) is a key determinant of host/pathogen interactions. We propose to investigate the role of membrane lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model...

LiCoO2 as cathode for Li-ion batteries suffers from a large capacity fading after extended cycling. The ordered structure (Li+ and Co3+ atoms occupy alternate (111) layers of...

In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock. Although crucial for protecting cells, as with all ion channels, they have the...

Via chi¿¿(Q,E) we aim to investigate the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK of YbInCu4 on external pressure and substitution. YbInCu4 undergoes a first-order isostructural...

We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function of...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...
