The richness of Mesolithic footprints in the Paul Ambert gallery of Aldène cave (Hérault, France) has been known for a long time. As part of a multidisciplinary project, the...

Non-centrosymmetric superconductors (NCS) are believed to be good candidates for unconventional superconductivity. In particular, there is the possibility of Cooper pairs with...

We have recently carried out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET in order to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. The single crystal...

Organogelators are small molecules that self-associate into extensive network structures. Our interest lies in a homologous series of such gelators, the...

This proposal plans to investigate the destruction of superconductivity by inter-band scattering in Lu_2Fe_3Si_5 doped by Y and Dy. Recent muon spin rotation studies have shown...

In this proposal we suggest an investigation of the time reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting compounds YRuB2 and LuRuB2 with orthorhombic structure (space group...

Previous SANS studies of anti-cancer polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs) (HPMA-Doxorubicin) identified a correlation between conjugate solution conformation and clinical results. The...

This experiment will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to correlate magnetic and...

Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) form hydrogels via self-assembly in water under specific conditions to form long, fibrillar structures. Non-covalent forces interactions...

Bio-responsive polymers hold great promise as delivery vehicles for drugs, peptides and proteins as their chemistry can be tuned to effect a change in physico-chemical...

The controlled synthesis of precious metal nanoparticles of the appriopriate chemical composition, optimised size and morphology for use in catalysis is an ongoing experimental...

The intermetallic compound, Re3W is a non-centrosymmetric system with large atomic number (Z) for both constituents (75 for Re and 74 for W) and hence is a good candidate for...

Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order...

Phase behaviour studies have identified hydrogen bonding as a key aspect in polymer solubility in fluorinated liquids, both in terms of solute-solvent and solute-solute...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...

In this proposal we wish to investigate the detailed superconducting properties of two non-centrosymmetric ternary silicides, LaNiSi and LaPtSi. We plan to investigate the time...

Nuclear power has played an important role in Britain¿s history and is set to play an equally important role in its future. We have recently established a network involving...

Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for...

Polymer therapeutic describes polymeric drugs, polymer-drug conjugates, polymer-protein conjugates, polymeric micelles to which drug is covalently bound, and multicomponent...

Noncentrosymmetric superconductors have been identified as good candidates for unconventional superconductivity. In particular there is the possibility of Cooper pairs with...
