Understanding the insertion of antibiotic toxins into the gram negative outer...
The gram-negative bacterial membrane is of extreme medical importance. Two of its major components are lipopolysaccharides (LPS's) and integral membrane proteins. Porins are... -
Interplay of magnetism and superconductivity in the iron-based spin ladder Ba...
Iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have been an essential research area in condensed matter physics. Spins of iron sites forming a long periodic configuration, called the... -
Neutron total scattering investigation of Pr2NiO4+d heated under O2 flow
This application is concerned with the defect chemistry and stability of Pr2NiO4+d, a highly disordered energy material whose crystal structure is still subject to controversy.... -
Nature of the protein corona on nanoparticle surfaces
When nanoparticles enter a biosytem they rapidly acquire a protein corona. The nature of the outer part of this corona will determine the response of the biosystem to the... -
Oriented antibody binding layers
The proposal concerns the assembly of high density antibody binding surfaces to increase the sensitivity of medical diagnostics. Previously we showed that antibody binding... -
Further analysis of Indo-Persian sword blades from the Wallace Collection
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London, which contains nearly one thousand items and is one of the most... -
High-pressure powder neutron diffraction study in Pd2MnIn
Intermetallic ternary full Heuslers have potential spintronic applications, due to a possible link between the mechanisms for magnetism and half-metallicity in these systems.... -
Quantum Entanglement of Neutron Spin, Path and Energy
What does a quantum particle do when you are not looking at it? For a classical moving object, like a golf ball, we know its trajectory even when we are not looking at it. This... -
More realistic models of the bacterial outer membrane
Current model systems employed in structural studies of bacterial outer membranes rarely mimic the lipid composition accurately. This work is aimed at producing outer membrane... -
Investigation of new phase, MnBi2, by in situ high-pressure neutron diffraction
Permanent magnets are essential for renewable energy technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. Global demand for magnets is increasing, however, the elements used to... -
Nanophase separation in monolayers of stratum corneum mixtures
There is considerable effort being put into the modelling of the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, because of impending EU restrictions on the use of animal skin for... -
The correlation of metallography with neutron diffraction for Indo-Persian ar...
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the manufacture of wootz (the so-called Damascus steel)a high-C% cast steel which was very slowly cooled and very carefully forged so as... -
Structural study on the 3D arrangement of (hexa-acyl) lipid A in lipid membrane
Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic... -
Spin-echo encoded neutron refraction of air bubbles in a fibrous protein gel
Calcium caseinate is a promising candidate to be developed into a meat analogue. When the dough like protein gel is subjected to mild shear and heat, it turned into a pronounced... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
Crystal structures of methanol mono-ammoniate (CD3OD.ND3) and methanol hemi-a...
Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the... -

Local ordering in the pressure-induced order-disorder transition in ammonium ...
Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations...
