comparison between RADseq generated SNPs and multilocus microsatellites for population genetics of natural clonal lineages in a selfing vertebrate, K. marmoratus.

Many formulations comprise distinct chemical species that exhibit antagonistic or synergistic interactions that result in unpredictable behaviour. Previous work from our group...

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of...

Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug...

We have previously used LOQ to identify the complex (polyplex) structures formed between a short single strand DNA and a cationic diblock copolymer MPC30-DEA60. The SANS...

We have engaged in a long term effort to build accurate bio-mimetic systems for complex structural biology studies. Recently, we have found that thiolalkylamidealcohol...

We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing...

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric...

We have developed a Self-assembled floating supported membrane sample system comprised of unsaturated phospholipid bilayers held ~1nm from a PEGylated charged alkane thiol SAM...

Single molecule thin films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the...

We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in...

Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing....

One of the challenges of developing Silicon-based spintronics technology is developing non-destructive methods for characterizing spin-polarized conduction electrons. Si is...

Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum...

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...

We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function of...

Via chi¿¿(Q,E) we aim to investigate the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK of YbInCu4 on external pressure and substitution. YbInCu4 undergoes a first-order isostructural...

In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock. Although crucial for protecting cells, as with all ion channels, they have the...
