The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are...

Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...

Biological membrane mimics are a bottle neck in biophysical studies today. The need to develop advanced models that actually represent the properties of specific cellular...

The crystal unit cell of mayenite, 12CaO.7Al2O3, consists of a cubic lattice of [Ca24Al28O64]4+ with the remaining 2*O2- contained in cages, which are linked by channels within...

MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative...

In the present proposal small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of...

Our aim is to examine the structures of disordered gel precursors to nanoporous zeolites that are formed in the early stages of hydrothermal reactions. They are considered to be...

Cemented carbides are composite materials manufactured via powder metallurgy. The excellent wear resistance, high hardness, and high toughness make them widely used materials in...

The objective of this experiment is to use neutron reflectivity to study the surface structure and determine chemical depth profiles of Perflouropolyether-PDMS films in air and...

The separation of particular lipids in cell membranes into liquid ordered and liquid disorder regions is thought to have a major influence of the functioning of membrane...

Biological membranes protect cells and are essential for their survival and damaged membranes may cause serious harm to the cell. A primary cause of damage to membranes is...

Hydrogen Peroxide is one of the cleanest, most versatile strategic base chemicals available. It is used at the large scale as oxidising agent in the chemical industry, as a...

Inelastic neutron scattering has been used to study adsorbed species on catalysts for more than 30 years. All of this work has one feature in common: they are all ¿snapshots¿ of...

Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active...

Our recent WISH study of the low temperature longe range ordered magnetic structure of the Fe19 single molecule magnetic system with S=35/2 produced an easy spin axis that is at...

Although microemulsions have been investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular architecture of the...

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...
