The redox driven swelling and deswelling of conducting polymers has been termed Electronic Muscle actuation. One application of this property is as a sphincter-like valve in a...

In 2005 we carried out muon spin relaxation (muSR) experiments in Pr(Os1-xRux)4Sb12 alloys at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan, to investigate the time-reversal symmetry breaking found in...

Antibiotic resistance is pathogenic bacteria is a major clinical problem. Resistance to all antibiotiotic classes, currentl yin clinical use, has been reported. By contrast, the...

Much progress has been made researching organic solar cells (OSC) in the last two decades, but the field still holds surprises. Until recently, the general assumption was that...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

The tetragonal chemically-ordered L10 FeNi phase has great potential for advanced permanent magnet applications due to its compelling magnetic properties, low cost and...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a low cost alternative to existing photovoltaic materials. The efficiency of OPVs is steadily increasing towards the point where their cost per...

X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed...
