Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric...

Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...

The Outer Membranes (OM) is a feature of many pathogenic bacteria. It is important as a barrier to antibiotics & the site of human-bacteria interaction. However bacteria are...

Multi metal deposition (MMD) is a new latent fingerprint enhancement technique that is extremely effective on plastics, including drug wraps and explosives wrapping; it is also...

The global increase of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to increasing interest in research focusing on the development and characterization of new antimicrobial...

Spin vortices are most appealing characteristics of two dimensional 2D easy-plane spin systems which are receiving recent attention for their fundamental properties and possible...

The atomic interfaces between ferromagnetically ordered thin films with perpendicular anisotropy and either films with magnetically ordered in-plane anisotropy or a non-magnetic...

The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...

In this proposal we request beamtime on the Inter reflectometer to study the unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate caesium salt...

Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides has recently been studied as a possible way to store energy. One of the possible options is magnesium, which is abundant and cheap and it has...

Intense research activity is underway to understand the interaction between ferromagnetic (FM) and superconducting (SC) layers in oxide FM/SC multilayers, where FM and SC layers...

The beneficial effects of fluoride are well known, but higher levels are dangerous to health. Existing remediation methods used to address the latter situation all have...

This proposal is a continuation proposal (previous RB 1110285) utilising the Offspec instrument and is aimed at further understanding the utility of the spin echo grazing...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight...

The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few...

For Fusion energy applications FeCr ferritic martensitic steels are candidate structural materials due to their radiation resistance and good mechanical properties. Thus, the...

The objective of this experiment is to use neutron reflectivity to study the surface structure and determine chemical depth profiles of Perflouropolyether-PDMS films in air and...

HSA-NEP is a fusion protein with potential uses in treating Alzheimer’s disease. It consists of Neprilysin, a peptide degrading enzyme, linked to HSA, the most common protein in...

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 have recently developed a new system of refractive-index matched nanoparticles. This system has advantages over a extensively used one of polymer latexes; ours 1) can be...
