Phase and diffraction contrast tomography of slip localization in In718 superalloy

Atmospheric reentry is one of the most severe conditions for materials. During this short period (5-15min), several reactions take place at the surface of thermal protection...

There are seven highly productive core funded structural biology groups at the Francis Crick Institute, including the team within the Structural Biology Science Technology...

This proposal builds upon the foundation established in BAG MX 2521 and represents a collaborative effort among prominent Swiss academic institutions, including EPFL, UNIL,...

This proposal will provide user access to automated protein-to-structure and fragment screening pipelines based on the combination of EMBL HTX lab services and CrystalDirect...

ESRF is privileged to host two state-of-the-art microscopes. Our BAG unites the majority of local labs that utilise cryo-EM to address their diverse structural biology...

Cryogenic single-particle electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) has become the method of choice for determining the structures of large macromolecular complexes and membrane proteins –...

Arsenic (As) is an indicator for the formation of some of the largest hydrothermal gold (Au) deposits. However, the conditions of extraction of As from magmas and its transport...

This proposal explores the impact of external electric fields on zeolite crystallization using hydrated silicate ionic liquids. By employing a novel multi-diagnostic cell for...

We propose to measure the temperature dependence of the non-ergodicity factor in vitreous germanium oxide, v-GeO2, through the X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS). We...

Metallic glasses (MGs) exceptionally combine the strength and elasticity of metals with an amorphous structure, producing amongst the strongest and toughest metals known....

The proposed research aims to determine mechanistic effects of therapeutic compounds aimed at treatment of heart failure. We will specifically determine the activating shifts in...

Recent studies have demonstrated that YTiO3 exhibits transient ferromagnetism at temperatures nearly three times the thermodynamic Curie temperature TC = 28 K when subjected to...

The aim of the project is to investigate the effect of iron on the chemical stability of calcium silicate perovskite (CaSiO3) in situ at conditions relevant to the Earth’s...

We will apply high-energy synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) spectroscopy (90 keV) at beamline ID15A on samples collected on asteroid Bennu and brought back to Earth during...

In 2021, we reported the first instance of thorium–thorium bonding in a crystalline cluster. This compound has sparked significant interest due to its hotly debated electronic...

The development of colloidal nanocrystals as next-generation semiconductors relies heavily on understanding their structure with atomic precision, which is critical for...

Ferropericlase (fPc) is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth’s lower mantle after Bridgmanite (Bgm). Thus, the mechanical behaviour of fPc has important consequences...

Enzymatic milk gels result from the destabilization of casein micelles, which are natural colloids found in milk. After aggregation, these soft particles have been shown to...

The aim of this project is the single crystal structure determination and characterisation of phase transitions of crystalline carbonic acid (H2CO3) at high pressures....
