Identifying and understanding failure mechanisms in nanoarchitected composite...
Nanoarchitected materials have been shown to possess ultra-high mechanical energy absorption due to their unique structure. The exact underlying mechanisms for this high energy... -
Elucidating the mechanisms of cadmium neurotoxicity after low-level exposures
The identification of environmental risk factors suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is preventable. Among the environmental risk factors, the neurotoxic metal cadmium is of... -
Study of pressure-induced structural phase transitions in the van der Waals m...
The aim of this proposal is to investigate the the evolution of the atomic lattice in a van der Waals (vdW) multiferroic CuCrP2S6 as a function of pressure and temperature.... -
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in altermagnetic RuO2 thin films
We propose to employ element-specific x-ray magnetic dichroism to investigate the local spin configuration in thin films of RuO2, a prime member of a new class of compensated... -
Molecular interactions between sex hormones and Pluronic F127: Insights from ...
U-RHYTHM, www.u-rhythm.co.uk, is a groundbreaking wearable diagnostic clinical research device at the Bristol Medical School that uses micro-dialysis to sample hormones directly... -
Mapping the P-T phase diagram of high-pressure ferroelectricity in perovskites
The overarching aim of this project is to re-examine the long-debated issue of the pressure-induced inversion symmetry breaking in perovskite oxides. Although this phenomenon is... -
Study of Fe and V speciation in the glass network of new vitrified EAF-slags ...
Most low-CO2 cements use ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), a Ca-Mg-Al-Si-glass generated as a by-product from iron-making. However, this resource is to become scarce... -
Temperature-dependent EXAFS study of local structural distortions in multival...
The main goal of this proposal is a high-resolution temperature-dependent EXAFS study at the Co K-edge on the well-characterized pristine and modified La0.5Ba0.5CoO2.85 by... -
Time-Resolved SAXS Study of Gold and Silver Bimetallic Nanoparticle Formation...
This study aims to investigates the nucleation and growth mechanisms of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and gold nanostars (GNSs) using time-resolved in situ small-angle X-ray... -
Alterations of the osteocyte lacunar-canalicular network at early stages of b...
Breast cancer (BC) often metastasizes to bone. Bone tissue is highly dynamic and the cellular and structural microenvironment are strongly interlinked. Mineralized tissue is...
