Conventional ways to administer and deliver drugs have reached its limitations. These methods can be still used for small and simple molecules. However, new carriers have to be...

One of the major themes in solid-state physics is the realisation of exotic types of relativistic electrons which travel at speeds much slower than the speed of light. These...

Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

Recently we have succeeded in synthesizing a new kagome material, CaCu3(OH)6Cl2 0.6H2O. Single crystal X-ray measurements revealed that no site disorder between Ca and Cu sites...

Neutron experiment is carried out on relaxor magnet LuFeCoO4 to study the coupling between the slow dynamics of the dielectric and magnetic properties. At 190 K, the nuclear and...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we plan to use...

The aim of the experiment is to employ SANS to study the physical properties of a novel and very stable aqueous Fe3O4 ferrofluid system stabilized by the commercially available...

Many geological processes are governed by the migration of hot, mineral-rich water. These "hydrothermal" fluids are stable at high pressures and temperatures and are important...

Water ice forms a remarkable diversity of structures, occurring in as many as 17 crystalline forms. Water ice also shows other interesting and unusual properties. For example,...

New families of materials of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries, with greater capacities, are required to more effectively meet the world’s energy storage demands....

Lithium (LiPO3) and sodium (NaPO3) metaphosphate glasses show improved ionic conductivity when some of the oxygen in the phosphate tetrahedron is replaced by nitrogen. As such...

A basic understanding of the dynamic processes in polystyrene (PS) is a question of utmost interest and has technological ramifications due to its importance in commercial...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also called host defense peptides, are part of the innate immune system of essentially all species, from bacteria themselves to mammals to protect...

Bearings are essential components in many types of machinery, working to reduce energy losses. Over the last century improved analytical models were developed for predicting the...

We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba1-xKxFe2As2 (x=0.4), one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates...

Products such as fabric and hair conditioners are commonly in the form of di-alkyl chain cationic lamellar phase dispersion. The effects of shear on such lamellar phase...

We propose measurements of the elementary phonon-roton (p-r) excitations of liquid 4He confined in porous MCM-41 (45 Å pore diameter) at wave vectors Q ¿ beyond the roton¿, 2.4...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...

We propose the muon spin relaxation experiments at zero field and at longitudinal fields of Cu-based double perovskites Sr2Cu(Te1-xWx)O6 (x = 0.05, 0.08, 0.1) in order to...
