Development of neutrons as entangled quantum probes
We recently completed an experiment on LARMOR at ISIS that proved that each individual neutron prepared for a Spin Echo Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SESANS) measurement is in... -
Biological membrane mimics made of deuterated lipids extracted from E. coli
Biological membrane mimics are a bottle neck in biophysical studies today. The need to develop advanced models that actually represent the properties of specific cellular... -
Temperature induced structural phase transitions in BaPrO3 and acceptor doped...
The sequence of structural phase transitions that occur in distorted ABO3 perovskites as a function of temperature is of intrinsic interest for better understanding of the... -
Characterization of heterogeneous solvent structure in a carbon capture fluid
We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable... -
Probing the wetting transition in a semiconducting liquid crystal thin film b...
The aim of this experiment is to study the nucleation and molecular layer-by-layer growth of a 'thin film' (TF) phase at the buried substrate interface of thin films of fully... -
Structure of yeast lipid monolayers and the effects of Amphotericin B
We have recently developed methods for the extraction, separation and analysis of lipids from yeast cell cultures as physiologically realistic targets for membrane binding drugs... -
Adsorption maxima at the solid/liquid interface
Adsorption maxima have been reported for adsorption at the hydrophilic solid/water interface based on measurements on powders and solution analysis. Many would claim that this... -
Static and dynamic structure of oil/water microemulsions to improve enhanced ...
After initial and secondary oil recovery up to 50% of the oil can be left behind in the reservoir. Various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques can be applied to improve the...
