Topological insulators are currently a subject of intense research and potential for spin-electronic devices. The breaking of gauge symmetry or time reversal symmetry(TRS) is a...

This is a resubmitted proposal in a new project on water purification by membrane distillation. With this technology liquid water is excluded from passing the separating...

Bulk samples of methane hydrate at cryogenic temperatures have been shown to contain methane in the hydrate cage that is nearly in a state of free rotation. There is an interest...

Over the past few decades, fuel cell research has grown exponentially with the continued development of new materials and systems for automotive and stationary applications....

Acceptor-doped perovskite oxides exhibit significant proton conductivity under humid or hydrogen containing atmosphere, which opens a unique possibility to be used as...

This proposal requests time on NIMROD at ISIS to enable the characterisation of polymer nanocomposite interfaces. This information will be used as part of a wider effort for...

The interaction of water with biomolecules is of significant interest. To analyse the spectra, we are employing 2D correlation analysis. This has been used extensively with...

Despite abundant research on nanoconfined liquids, determining the density, which is a key property of the liquid, remains an open problem. All the previously explored...

The surface of metal oxide nanoparticles are typically coated with layers of water that are strongly bonded to the surface. The properties of these water layers are...

The critical evidence for/against FLPs in metal oxides is to establish wheter an adsorbed H2 molecule becomes dissociated across adjacent In and O sites on the surface. To probe...

To aid the design and optimisation of cost-effective decontamination technologies used to remove toxic compounds from ground water in Ghana, the diffusion of water in zeolite...

Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness...

Silk materials have been the focus of renewed attention because they exhibit extraordinary mechanical strength and toughness.Two main factors are critical for understanding...

Y-doped BaZrO3 has been identified as a promising potential candidate as an electrolyte materialfor proton conduction in intermediate temperature fuel cells. In the temperature...

Electroceuticals is the attempt to “…speak the electrical language of the nerves to achieve higher treatment effect”. Thus, the search is on to develop devices to enhance...

The innovative research field on glass forming systems having bioprotective action has been originated from a growing demand from many biotechnological industrial research...

We intend to perform an inelastic neutron scattering experiment on para-H2 adsorbed in L-Isoleucyl-L-valine (IV) microporous systems using the TOSCA spectrometer. IV is one of a...

With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONP–water interfaces are of great importance for biomedical...

Establishing the post-mortem interval (PMI) is often the primary objective in forensic investigations.Whilst various techniques for PMI estimation in terrestrial environments...
