Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also called host defense peptides, are part of the innate immune system of essentially all species, from bacteria themselves to mammals to protect...

Bearings are essential components in many types of machinery, working to reduce energy losses. Over the last century improved analytical models were developed for predicting the...

Owing to the separation in the mesoscale and confinement effect of mesostructured pores to the molecule, mesoporous materials have been widely applied as matrices of host-guest...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...

In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of...

The use of ionic liquids for electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors, dye sensitised solar cells and lithium ion batteries has led to significant advances in technology....

In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of...

Fullerenes often produce very dramatic improvements to polymer properties, but their limited miscibility with polymers is often a severe restriction to the general utility. We...

Nd2Zr2O7 is a new candidate prominent to quantum spin ice proposed theoretically. It has a well-isolated dipolar-octupolar doublet with Ising anisotropy as the crystal field...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the behaviour of two important hydrogen peroxide solvates of the explosive CL-20. We will use neutron diffraction...

Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice...

Heavy alkaline earth nitride hydrides (AE2NH, with AE = Ca and Ba) are of interest due to their potential suitability as electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical...

Our aim is to investigate the evolution of super-lattice structure (i.e. charge/orbital ordered phase) as well as the associated magnetic structure in SrMn1-xWxO3 (x=0.1375...

We will investigate the structure of 4-chloroimidazole a material, which undergoes extreme anisotropic thermal expansion,.as a function of pressure at a range of temperatures...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic...

Experiments performed in our laboratory indicate that maleic acid undergoes an unexpected structural change when subject to high pressure and temperature conditions. For these...

In the last decades the production and consumption of reactive nitrogen increased exponentially due to the extensive utilisation of nitrogen containing compounds as fertilizers...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...

SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of...

In previous experiments at ILL we observed a gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum of the stripe-ordered superconductor (La,Nd)2-xSrxCuO4, x=0.12. We observed a spin gap of...
