Does Deuteration Change More then the Phonon Spectrum?
Our recent express measurments on protonated and deuterated 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) have highlighted some interesting differences between the two. We seek to... -
Location of Ferromagnetism in Palladium Bionanoparticles using a Novel In Sit...
We propose to develop and carry out a novel in situ SR/electrochemical technique to identify the mechanism underlying ferromagnetism in palladium bionanoparticles. We... -

Understanding the molecular origin of co-non-solvency. Step 2.
A number of polymers that are commonly soluble in water and in alcohol, display a dramatic collapse when 10 molar % of alcohol is added to the polymer/water system. Various... -
Cryopreservation of liver cell spheroids used in artificial liver bio-transpl...
The development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine, in particular for storage of biological matter. The detailed characteristics of the cooling... -
Structural behaviour of gallium in phosphate glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate... -
Impact of Protein Nanosheet Structure on Nanoscale Toughness
Cell adhesion and proliferation at the surface of liquids such as oil droplets is a surprising phenomenon as it is typically accepted in the field of bioengineering that cells... -
Fragile to strong transition in concentrated sorbitol-water solutions
In a recent paper [J. Phys. Chem. B, 2016, 120 (29), pp 72897296] we have put forward the idea that water in concentrated (70 wt%) sorbitol-water solutions becomes confined by... -
WIDENING THE FRONTIERS IN FORENSIC PROFILING: PROBING BURNED HUMAN BONES WITH...
Neutron diffraction techniques are applied to the study of burned human skeletal remains, for assessing heat-induced changes associated to alterations in bone´s... -

The Ability of Trimethylamine N-Oxide to Resist Pressure Induced Structural P...
Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) is thought to have the extraordinary ability of allowing organisms to adapt to extreme environments of high pressure, the most famous example being... -
Specific ion effects in molecular non-aqueous electrolytes
Specific-ion (Hofmeister effects) are ubiquitous whenever ions are dissolved in solution and are important in many research fields from chemistry, to biology and in materials... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at -...
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based... -
On the structure and stability of dinucleotides in aqueous solution
eoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) encode the genetic information for all living things and some viruses. Remarkably, DNA is only comprised of four unique nucleotides which differ only... -
Role of DMSO in Ionic Liquid / DMSO Mixtures
This proposal aims to study the interactions within a prototypical ionic liquid / co-solvent system. Such systems are currently under investigation as potential solvating media... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies.... -
Packing of DNA in glioma nuclei
To answer the question how DNA is packed inside the interphase nucleus at the micron scale, we propose SESANS experiment using contrast variation technique from human glioma...
