Small molecules known as low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) can self-assemble to form a network of fibres, which trap and hold a vast amount of water forming a gel. An...

Hydrogels are formed from a self?assembled network of fibres made up of small molecules (gelators) trap and hold water at just 1% by weight, or less, from the solution they are...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on a powder sample of a multiferroic hexaferrite PbFe12O19. A recent paper has reported room temperature multiferroic...

When cells are subjected to stress, such as drying, globular proteins are observed to unfold and irreversibly aggregate. Certain intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not...

Characterisation of structures formed within hydrogels is an important part of understanding their properties and how they can be used in real world applications. The real space...

Lysosomes are subcellular organelles with acidic interiors (pH 3.5-5), containing enzymes that break down macromolecules and intracellular waste. Controlled release of lysosomal...

We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how...
