The safe storage of spent nuclear fuels is a complex challenge that belies a simple solution. The biggest scientific challenge is that storage must be over long periods of time,...

CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles...

Off-specular neutron reflection is potentially a powerful technique for studying the lateral organisation of phospholipid bilayers. However, this has not yet been demonstrated....

Our research group is working on the Celtic coinage from northern Italy and has already carried out two measurement sessions at ISIS. A selection of 25 coins (drachmas) has been...

Superconductivity in iron-based materials occurs in close proximity to a long-range ordered magnetic phase. In the iron pnictides, uniaxial pressure shifts the magnetic ordering...

Given the challenges in providing efficient and non-harmful refrigeration, it is timely to study barocaloric systems, which offer cooling power via the application of pressure,...

BslA is a globular protein that has recently been shown to play an important role in developing the morphology and hydrophobic properties of Bacillus subtilis biofilms. A...

ASTM F75, a cobalt-chrome alloy, is the most dominant material used for total biomedical joint replacements due to the combination of its wear properties, corrosion resistance...

Understanding how drugs interact with physiologically relevant environments is crucial for the future of effective drug design. An important class of potential drugs are central...

CeNbO4+d (0 <= d <= 0.33) displays mixed ionic-electronic conductivity at ~800 °C, where it adopts the tetragonal scheelite structure. Prior research has shown that...

The search for new hydrogen storage materials is of considerable importance given the need to develop a carbon-free energy economy. This proposal is to investigate the urea-...

Summary. Silicatein in marine sponges catalyses the condensation of silica but the mechanism of layer-by-layer growth of the silica spicule is unknown since sufficient...

We plan to study the temperature dependence of magnetic excitations in the optimally doped high-Tc superconductor Bi$2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O${8+\delta}$ (BSCCO). We have previously...

The highly frustrated nature of the pyrochlore lattice leads to a rich diversity of fascinating properties when the lattice sites are decorated with classical spins. Arguably...

The compound LixCoO2 has attracted lots of attention in the recent years because of its application as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. The diffusion pathway of Li- ions within a...

The separation of particular lipids in cell membranes into liquid ordered and liquid disorder regions is thought to have a major influence of the functioning of membrane...

Entanglement refers to the phenomenon of two quantum mechanical objects correlated with each other at large distances and proposed to affect quantum criticality, the critical...

We propose muSR experiments to study topological superconductivity in the low-carrier-density superconductor Sn1-xinxTe and Rashba-type non-centrosymmetric superconductor...

The global shortage of 3He for neutron detection purposes triggered an intense research and development activity to find out effective solutions. Different approaches have been...

We propose to investigate the vibrational spectra of NaX faujasite as a function of hydration using simultaneous INS and Raman spectroscopy on TOSCA. Prior to the beamtime we...
