In-situ neutron diffraction studies of LiCoO2 cathode material for Li-ion bat...
LiCoO2 as cathode for Li-ion batteries suffers from a large capacity fading after extended cycling. The ordered structure (Li+ and Co3+ atoms occupy alternate (111) layers of... -
Neutron reflectivity study of bacterial lipopolysaccharide interactions with ...
Bacterial LPS (endotoxin) is a key determinant of host/pathogen interactions. We propose to investigate the role of membrane lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model... -
Direct Observation of Gram Negative Bacterial Membrane Disruption by Supramol...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Kinetic Study of the Mechanistic Complexation Process Between DNA and Cationi...
We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing... -
MuSR detection of optically-injected spin-polarized electrons in Silicon
Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum... -
