CHRONOS
Many fundamental processes evolve over months and years, including 1) the strengthening of fault zones in the interseismic period between earthquakes, 2) the sequestration of... -
CryoEM-BAG France: Structural Biology using cryoEM in France
This proposal gathers Principal investigators from Institutions across France that use cryoEM to unravel the molecular mechanisms associated with different fundamental... -
The Iberian cryoEM community BAG (II)
The Iberian cryoEM BAG is a large consortium (~40 groups) composed of Portuguese and Spanish laboratories working in biologically relevant problems including disease related... -
Structural studies of various proteins in Uppsala
The Block Allocation Group (BAG) includes projects for protein structure-based studies at Uppsala University (UU) and the Swedish University for Agricultural Sciences (SLU,... -
Immobilization of Th(IV) in Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia Ceramics
Safe disposal of nuclear waste requires matrix materials with strong resistance against corrosion and dissolution over a period of more than 10E6 years. Zirconium based ceramics... -
Intragranul strains and mosaicity in alpha and gamma phases of a duplex steel...
Hydrogen absorption in steel induces embrittlement, reducing tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and fracture toughness. In duplex steel, hydrogen expands the austenitic fcc... -
Elucidating Tactile Sensors by X-ray Holotomography
Our current understanding of the vibrissa follicle stems from lightmicroscopy. Inferring 3d structure from 2d serial sections poses serious limitations, however. Preliminary... -
Designing new sustainable nanoformulations for plants and agriculture
Environment protection is a major issue for sustainability and can be promoted by administering beneficial compounds to plants and soil. Most bioactive molecules are poorly... -
Operando XRD and PDF study of the effect of different electrolytes on the str...
The efficiency of green hydrogen production is hindered by the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and efficient catalysts like NiF-layered double hydroxide... -
XAS investigation of the Fe local atomic structure and reactivity in dense Fe...
Terrestrial planets and exoplanets are thought to host deep magma oceans at least during their early accretion. The physical (e.g. density and transport properties) and chemical... -
Photoinduced phase transition towards lower symmetry in functionnal materials...
Photoinduced phase transitions have open a wide field of investigation for functional materials, where a single laser shot can drive a macroscopic phase transition, which may... -
Revealing the altermagnetic phase of α-Fe2O3 by angular-dependent in-field Mö...
Recent theory and experimental investigations reveal the presence of a new magnetic phase called altermagnets. Altermagnets possess features that are normal characteristics of... -
New instrument for nano-XRD and nano-XRF at extreme conditions at ID27
A new, unique nano-focus instrumentation for rapid parallel XRF and XRD as well as X-ray imaging measurements at extreme pT conditions will be constructed on ID27. Funding for... -
Measurement of orientational correlated disorder resulting from in-plane rota...
We propose to study the orientational correlations in four molecular fluorinated variations of sumanene. Diffuse scattering (DS) will be used to elucidate the correlations in... -
High-Pressure Induced Transformations in Eu–Zn–As Zintl Pnictides
This research proposal is dedicated to exploring the structural properties of Eu–Zn–As Zintl Pnictides (ZPs) under high-pressure (HP) conditions. The impact of HP on the... -
Characterising the penetrability of the enamel subsurface lesion following di...
As the population ages and the prevalence of dental decay and gum disease reduces, people are increasingly retaining their teeth into later life. While this is a desirable... -
Structural analysis of historical materials
This proposal is a continuation of the HG-213 and HG-172 BAG pexperiments, a new access route to the ESRF structural analysis capacities for the Heritage Science community. The... -
Towards automatized high-throughput studies of structure-property correlation...
We wish to pursue our machine learning (ML) assisted high-throughput film growth studies, demonstrated in a pioneering work done at the ID10 beamline, on two- and... -
Activation/Carburization of Mo-based catalysts for selective hydrogenation re...
The project wishes to develop catalysts based on Transition Metal Carbides (TMC) ( Mo ) which are attractive alternatives to noble metals due to the coexistence of metallic and... -
Mechanisms of Human Disease
There are seven highly productive core funded structural biology groups at the Francis Crick Institute, including the team within the Structural Biology Science Technology...
