Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent...

This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to determine for the first time thesolvation structure of the pesticide paraquat in bulk aqueous solution and in the...

Here we propose to look at the structure of two phosphocholine lipids, and their larger scale structures in aqueous solution. Depending on the length of the fatty acid chain in...

The safe storage of spent nuclear fuels in an underground repository requires the fundamental chemistry to be well understood so predictions of solubility behaviour over 100,000...

MgSO4 (and its numerous hydrates) is an important system industrially and has become a model system for fundamental crystallisation studies [4]. By studying an aqueous solution,...

Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation...

Graphene oxide is an important starting material for developing chemically modified graphene for use in a variety of important technical applications that include energy-related...

A large number of chemicals are currently obtained by catalytic synthetic processes, but usually in most of these processes the catalyst remains in the reaction medium during...

Understanding the planetary formation process by the coagulation of interstellart dust grains requires to study the ice-phase dependant collisional properties of icy dust...

This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments...

We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...

We request 3 days on SANDALS to study the interactions of the neurotransmitter dopamine hydrochloride in a 1:19 methanol:water mixture and also in an aqueous 3M NaCl solution....

There is an increasing urgency to find stable and lightweight hydrogen storage materials for clean transport applications. Promising options being investigated include Mg-based...

New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these...

In the late 1960s, a molecular theory of sweet taste was proposed, based on the presence of a ?functional structure? in all sweeteners, eliciting the sweet response via the...

This proposal continues our studies of water and small molecule binding around surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of their molecular...

Hydroxyl radicals may be used as disinfection agent in the advanced oxidation processes or tertiary treatment of waste and occasionally drinking water. In this exploratory work,...

A large number of chemicals are currently obtained by catalytic synthetic processes, but usually in most of these processes the catalyst remains in the reaction medium during...

Bio-oil is a renewable energy from biomass, however, its high content of oxygenates result in low heating values and chemical/thermal instability. One effective upgrading...

Guanosine (GMP) is the ideal brick for controlled self-assembly of biocompatible materials, as it has the special ability to self-associate in water to form G-quartets (G4), and...
