We require beam time on NIMROD in order to complete and continue a previous experiment (RB1010046) on Laponite - water suspensions. We have succesfully performed the experiment...

In 2008 NASA¿s Phoenix Lander mission landed on the surface of Mars to complete physical and chemical analyses aimed at characterising the history of water and potential...

Fullerenes often produce very dramatic improvements to polymer properties, but their limited miscibility with polymers is often a severe restriction to the general utility. We...

This beamtime request is part of a long term project based on the liquids diffractometer SANDALS and aimed at developing the use of Paris-Edinburgh press for liquids and in...

Arginine is an important molecule which utilised in industrial, biochemical and medical research to aid in the successful refolding of proteins and to resist the effects of...

Amyloid fibrils are highly organized filamentous structures formed by the self-assembly of polypeptides. This proposal is to study the effect of pressure on the structure of...

Glycerol, a sugar alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, is a rich and complex system for the study of hydrogen bonded fluids and has been the subject of long-standing scientific...

The solution chemistry of Pt(II) and Pd(II) cations has attracted experimental and theoretical attention because of their relevance in catalytic processes and the...

The microscopic structure of a dilute solution of LiCl in water is determined at different thermodynamic states in both the liquid and glassy phases. This solution exhibits...

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...

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....

Gas clathrate hydrates are crystalline inclusion compounds formed when water and gas come into contact at high pressures and low temperatures. To date there are only three...

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

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...

The unprecedented simultaneous accessibility of the low and high Q region available on NIMROD allows to tackle the issue of ageing of colloidal systems from the point of view of...

Many living organisms have developed mechanisms that protect them from extremeenvironmental stresses such as freezing and pressure. One common mechanism involvesaccumulation of...

A consortium of several UK universities and industries has been set up, based at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, to investigate ¿Length-scale bridging in...

Caffeine is a prototypical example of a planar, heteroatomic bicyclic, aromatic ring compound that, although somewhat polar, exhibits limited aqueous solubility and is...
