The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow...

We have recently demonstrated that it is possible to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this...

Our previous proposals on ceramic glazes were rejected due to the high number of chemical components listed in the proposed (industrially typical) samples. Unfortunately the...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been extensively studied for liquid¿liquid extractions and have recently been examined for the purification and separation of crude oil components. Of...

Weak nonbonded interactions between a divalent sulfur and an oxygen atom have attracted growing interest because of their roles in determining the structure and the biological...

Peptidomimetics are synthetic mimics of peptides, the natural building blocks of proteins, and their development is a growing field of science. An underlying theme in recent...

Our aim is to provide new data concerning the evolution of amorphous gel phases into crystalline inorganic materials to allow information about crystallisation mechanism of...

By combining NDIS experiment and EPSR simulation we have been able to show with a previous experiment (RB 720500) two main phenomena for water confined in the MCM silica matrix....

Raman spectroscopy has identified differences in how the anion conformer populations of alkali metal bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide molten salts (Li-Cs) and protic...

Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent...

This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to determine for the first time thesolvation structure of the pesticide paraquat in bulk aqueous solution and in the...

Fish oocytes and embryos are complex cryobiological objects for which, successful cryopreservation has still not been achieved. This circumstance seriously restricts the...

Little is known on the structure and properties of vitreous Se doped with halogens in contrast to group III, IV, V, and VI dopants and also many metal additives. Our Raman...

Organisms which live in the presence of large quantities of salt are known as halophilic (meaningsalt-loving). Halophilic proteins are of great interest due to their ability to...

Peptoids are synthetic mimics of peptides (the natural building blocks of proteins) in which the side chain is attached to the backbone amide nitrogen instead of the central...

This proposal is focused on developing an understanding of how surfaces affect the local structure of synthetic polymers. There is considerable evidence for a strong variation...

We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...

There is an increasing urgency to find stable and lightweight hydrogen storage materials for clean transport applications. Promising options being investigated include Mg-based...

In this proposal we would like to study the structure of polar aprotic and aromatic liquids using H/D and 15N/*N isotopic labelling on SANDALS. The molecules chosen for study...

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a transient phase in one of the most important biomineralisation systems in animals (s.g.) such as crustaceans. The literature reports many...
