Rising CO2 levels in the oceans are predicted to have serious consequences for many marine taxa. Recent studies suggest that non-genetic parental effects may reduce the impact...

Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...

In the current proposal we propose to test Zr-2.5Nb samples cut at a range of angles (0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 and 90°) in the RD-TD plane in in-situ compression at room temperature....

FeSe is a superconductor below 8.5 K. Very recently, we have found superconductivity in a wide compositional range in a series of layered lithium iron selenide hydroxides....

Time-resolved SANS will be performed to investigate the effect of shear on the fibrillisation of insulin following denaturation. The rheological response will be measured...

A grand challenge facing society today is the need to develop green energy technologies. For instance, as we increase our use of renewable energy sources to cut our consumption...

Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous...

In this proposal we plan to investigate the anomalous magnetism of Ce in recently discovered CeO0.5F0.5BiS2 and Sr0.5Ce0.5FBiS2 magneto-superconductors. The proposed compounds...

We wish to use elastic (this experiment) and inelastic neutron scattering (experiments on MARI and MERLIN submitted in this round) as an approach to quantify the change in...

The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled...

The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid...

We will probe the response of the 18K superconductor LiFeAa to pressures of up to 2 GPa in order to investigate the evolution of the crystal structure. In particular we wish to...

The aims of the experiment are (1) to obtain structural data for the model hydrogen storage intermetallic LaNi5 under a deuterium pressure of 3000 bar at cryogenic temperatures,...

The proposed experiment concerns the role of microstructure on the high temperature deformation behaviour of single crystal Ni-base superalloys. This class of material is of...

This proposal seeks to identify and characterise high-pressure polymorphs of the energetic materials hydroxylammonium perchlorate, CL-20, diaminodinitroethene (FOX-7), and...

A second-generation surface force style apparatus has been developed to probe the inter-surface and near-surface structures under compressive forces. Systems of current academic...

This proposal seeks to identify and characterise high-pressure polymorphs of the energetic materials hydroxylammonium perchlorate, CL-20, diaminodinitroethene (FOX-7), and...

When nanoparticles enter a biosytem they rapidly acquire a protein corona. The nature of the outer part of this corona will determine the response of the biosystem to the...

We propose to investigate with polarized neutron reflection (PNR) measurements the magnetic moment and interface properties of Co- and Fe-doped HfO2 thin films and undoped HfO2...

CO profiles are retrieved on a 62-layer grid. Only data with a measurement response > 0.8 are considered useful profile data. Contact: Niall Ryan...
