Dynamic microdomains, resulting from lateral lipid inhomogeneity and patterning within biological membranes, have been implicated in a wide range of critical cellular processes...

Spider silks are known to have outstanding mechanical properties yet there is still much unknown about how the initial structure, storage and transformation of the silk proteins...

We propose to determine the magnetic structure of a new material, CeSbSe, at zero field and in magnetic fields up to 3 T, using the unique capabilities of the WISH...

Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature....

We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which...

Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...

In the present study the acidic, anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen has been PEGylated using an polyoxyethylene chain of 750 molecular weight. The consequence of this PEGylation...

Hierarchical zeolites with molecular order at both the micropore (<2nm) and mesopore (2-50nm) level are able to combine confinement effects in catalysis without suffering...

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a solar cell material of great interest. However the material when fabricated, although of high symmetry, contains substantial defect concentration and a...

The layered NaMnO2 is challenging as it is an experimental realization of a two-dimensional spin-2, spatially anisotropic triangular lattice, where the interplay of temperature...

Multiferroics of spin origin, for which magnetic long-range order and electric polarization occur simultaneously, have attracted considerable interest. The strong coupling...

We have recently carried out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET in order to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. The single crystal...

The aim of the present proposal is to complete a systematic study on the effects of isotopic and chemical substitution on the thermal expansion and vibrational properties of...

For energy storage applications, high energy density is an important material characteristic when searching for new types of suitable materials. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is an...
