In a soft magnetic material the directions of the internal magnetic moments are easily changed by an external magnetic field while in a hard magnetic material they are not. In a...

Puroindolines are basic, cysteine rich proteins of ~13KDa, which have attracted significant interest due to their role in determining the endosperm texture of Wheat and seed...

Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor...

Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element...

Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological...

It is proposed to use neutron reflectometry to study surface-induced nano-stratification of 3He-4He mixtures in the ultra-low temperature limit. The experiment promises to...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. We would like to study, for the first time...

Dendrimers are a unique class of nano-structured vehicles for drug and gene delivery into intracellular targets. Their surface chemistry influences their transport across...

Au4V is an extremely unusual alloy. Neither Au nor V is generally found to carry a magnetic moment in the metallic state, yet the body-centred tetragonal (bct), structurally...

The aim is to measure the preferential adsorption of one component in a nematic mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and it is doped with 4-pentyl 4¿-...

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric generators. The...

In typical odontological studies water sorption in the restoration material is determined by weighing freshly mixed cement at regular intervals. In the case of resin-modified...

We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle...

Spin vortices are most appealing characteristics of two dimensional 2D easy-plane spin systems which are receiving recent attention for their fundamental properties and possible...

Drug delivery through the skin is an important route for administration of therapeutic agents. However, the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum provides a...

Nanodiscs are self assembled complexes of phospholipids and a class of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins . The proteins and lipids self-assemble...

NaCr2O4 is a Q1D TMO that offers a rich range of properties from the view point of fundamental science as well as from the view point of applied science. Indeed on one hand...

Summary: The FIII9'10 domain pair is an antibody light chain mimic which we serendipitously found binds IGFBP-5, a therapeutic target in late stage prostate cancer. An...
