Protamines are cationic antimicrobial peptides found commonly in the sperm cells of fish such as herring and salmon that are particularly active against food-borne Gram-negative...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy...

Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic...

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...

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...

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...

Water dynamics plays a vital role in biochemical processes in a living organism. Intracellular water structure and dynamics are known to be changed by the presence of...

We ask for 3 days of beam time on Inter/SURF to study the adsorption and adlayer characteristics of avidin on Ti surfaces, relevant for biomedical applications, such as...

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...

Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical...

Since ancient times it has been known that using boiling water to prepare tea ¿burns¿ the brew destroying the teas flavours & beneficial nutrients. One aspect of a ¿burnt¿...

Ni-based secondary batteries are currently used in many applications, however, the structural changes at the electrodes are not fully characterized and neutron diffraction is a...
