Our work focusses on biological nitrogen fixation by Nitrogenase, on metalloenzymes and integral membrane proteins of bacterial and archaeal respiratory systems...

Hydrous silicate phase D is considered to be a potentially important carrier and reservoir in Earth’s deep interior. The experiments aim to investigate the crystal structural...

This proposal aims to observe the superionic transition in a uranium superhydride, UH8, chosen for its potential superionic transition and as a below-100 GPa synthesized...

Recrystallization plays a pivotal role in the heat treatment of metals. Contrary to common knowledge, significant residual stresses have been observed within individual...

How is information processed in the brain? How does the wiring of brain cells relate to their function? How does one brain differ from another? These are some of the most...

LiYTbF4 EPR and FTIR spectroscopy

In our recent investigations, we discovered a plethora of new rubidium–nitrogen and cesium–nitrogen compounds—i.e. a staggering 11 new solids—at pressures up to 50 GPa. However,...

Controlled alignment and assembly of dispersed cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) can result in materials with impressive mechanical properties and provide biobased alternatives for...

Bismuth Ferrite with unique rhombohedral structure coexists ferroelectricity and anti-ferromagnetism at room temperature offer promising applications in advanced electronics and...

Hydrogen (H) is essential to decarbonize industry, but its use today is limited because it embrittles the metals and alloys required to store/distribute it. Despite 150 years of...

In Israel, the cryo-EM SPR community is rapidly expanding with the established facility at the Weizmann Institute (Krios, since 2019), a new facility at Ben-Gurion University...

This BAG coordinates activities of groups from the South of the UK. The focus is on projects in Immunology, transcriptional regulation, and enzymology. Particular strengths are...

Our goal is to probe the densification transition, local structure mechanisms, and electronic evolution of both amorphous WO3 and crystalline 7-coordinated “metallic” WO3, using...

During crystallisation, a small proportion of diamonds (no more than 2%), captures tiny inclusions of other minerals. In rare cases, inclusions of different minerals are...

Gas hydrates have received considerable attention in the last decades due to their extensive natural occurrence on Earth and extraterrestrial bodies, and to their significant...

Several studies have highlighted that nucleation reactions can occur via multi-step mechanisms with nanoscale intermediates. Whereas some nucleation pathways are well...

Rare earth elements (REE) are essential to modern life, yet we know little about how they concentrate at Earth’s surface, especially on the seafloor, which holds vast reserves....

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) drives many critical cellular processes. We have used laser-induced release from a caged, inactive form of ATP (NPE-caged) followed by short X-ray...

Fuel cells and electrolysers represent one of most promising alternatives for electrical energy production and storage. Today these technologies rely on nanoparticles (NPs)...

Magnetism in materials has known two faces: ferromagnets (FM) and anti-ferromagnets (AFM). Recent theoretical proposals have brought into play a third flavour called...
