Thermal batteries are primary batteries which find use in applications such as emergency power supplies in aircraft. They are required to provide a constant power over a given...

Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further...

Salivary films are (mostly) proteinaceous nm-thick films that form on any type of surface upon exposure to saliva. The role of the pellicle is manifold. Among its functions,...

Geometrically frustrated magnetism (GFM) occurs in systems where magnetic cations (spins) are located on a lattice with a triangular geometry and there are antiferromagnetic...

Permanent magnets are essential for renewable energy technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. Global demand for magnets is increasing, however, the elements used to...

Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons (MTH) is an important industrial reaction. It is thought to work through a 'hydrocarbon pool' mechanism where the hydrocarbons retained within the...

Lipoproteins are the main carriers of lipids in the body. HDL is believed to favor cholesterol removal and decrease the risk to develop atherosclerosis and related...

Atherosclerosis and subsequent clinical complication is one of the biggest killers in the western world, with a death toll reaching 16.7 million deaths per year. Although many...

One important structural application of oxide glasses is for nuclear waste immobilisation. Recent reports have highlighted the possibility of iron phosphate glasses as an...
