Pyrite (FeS2) is a hydrophobic mineral surface, i.e. of a type thus far inaccessible to the types of aqueous adsorption experiments suitable for study by reflectometry (NR), but...

Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer...

Lung surfactant protein B, SP-B, interacts with lipids at the air-water interface of the lung where its presence is vital for correct respiratory function. SP-B and its...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

One class of bioactive lipopeptides produced by Bacillus subtilis, fengycin, has strong surfaceactivity and interesting antifungal property with low hemolytic activityTo gain...

We request 7 days on VESUVIO to evaluate the neutronic performance of several materials used in inverted-geometry neutron spectrometers. In particular, we are interested in...

This proposal presents a comparative study of the adsorption of three key chemical groups onto an important technological substrate, viz. fatty acid salt (Sodium hexanoate),...

The meta-orbital transition is a new theoretical concept to explain the nature of quantum criticality in heavy-fermion systems. Such a transition can occur e.g. as function of...

In the past years we have developed a method measuring carrier recombination lifetime in semiconductors using the photo-MuSR setup in HIFI. These studies have focused on...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles...

We propose an experiment on the low energy spectrometer LET to study temperature effects on the Luttinger liquid (LL) phase on the spin ladder geometry. The spin ladder material...

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short cationic peptides that are efficiently taken up by cells. They are able to co-internalize therapeutic molecules into cells for...

Cell membranes are characterised by complex lipid composition and asymmetric distribution of lipids (lipids facing the outside of the cell are different from the lipids that are...

We request three days of beamtime on HRPD to study the crystallographic structures of six compounds containing a (distorted) frustrated antiferromagnetic lattice of Mo5+, 4d1...

Recently we have been investigating the mineralization of polymer-surfactant films to create thicker and more robust self-supporting membranes. Our previous experiments used the...

FeRh exhibits a fascinating structural and magnetic transition from room temperature antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism at higher temperatures. This complex transition is...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect (MVE) in...

Beta-arrestins are proteins that regulate GPCR signaling, e.g. by recruiting endocytic components to remove the receptor from the plasma membrane. Our fluorescence microscopy...

CeRhIn5 shows the rich phase diagram with superconductivity, spin density wave and charge density wave. The appearance of the Fermi surface nesting inside the antiferromagnetic...

We propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of azurite in both zero field and applied fields up to 7T. Using inelastic neutrons on OSIRIS we hope to clearly resolve the...
