Novel Mechanisms of Green Tea Anti-Oxidants by Mu-SR, INS and DFT Experiments
A proposal is made to continue ongoing ALC-muSR experiments on the green-tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its analogue. Several overlapping resonances observed on HiFi made it... -
RF μSR in the gas phase: understanding a ¿null¿ result
We have made a significant effort to develop Radio Frequency μSR (RF μSR) as a technique for spectroscopy of organic radicals in the gas phase. Realising this method... -
End-Game: Cornering Solvent Effects on H-Addition in Green Tea Anti-Oxidants
Our ongoing project to characterise radical scavenging by the green tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its D-ring analogue, (3,4,5-(OH)3-Bz) is near-complete. ALC-MuSR experiments on the... -
Interaction of N2O with Membranes Using µSR
Nitrous oxide, N2O, is an inhalant anaesthetic with a long history of use dating back to 1844. It is most commonly used as a light sedative in dentistry, or in child birth and... -
ALC muon spectroscopy of antioxidants
In a previous experiment (RB910492) we have made preliminary measurements of the rates of addition of muonium to vitamins C and E, as suggested by the ISIS panel. These rates... -
Green vs Black Tea Anti-oxidant Potency as a Function of Fermentation Complet...
Since ancient times it has been known that using boiling water to prepare tea ¿burns¿ the brew destroying the teas flavours & beneficial nutrients. One aspect of a ¿burnt¿... -
Silicon nanoparticles in thermoelectric material applications - Solution stat...
In order to meet the UK's commitment to reduce 80% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is necessary make major advances in efficient, clean and secure energy conversion and... -
A GENERAL METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which...
