- Efficient separation of deuterium at elevated temperatures
A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium from hydrogen at a temperature of 120 K has been introduced. Notably, this temperature exceeds the liquefaction point of natural gas, thus fa...
- Fatty acids against antibiotic-resistant germs
An interdisciplinary team of researchers established a set of conditions under which sustainable fatty acid complexes can efficiently fight against dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The... - Plant-based meat analogues: using neutrons to peek into the black box
A recently published study uses neutron scattering to shed light on texturisation - the black box for plant-based meat analogues - through in-situ real-time observations of the process. The challen...
- Filming the self-assembly of macromolecules in slow motion
In an article published in ACS Macro Letters, a team of physicochemists describes a novel approach which uses neutron and light scattering to monitor in situ the self-assembly of amphiphilic block ...
- Advanced neutron technologies galvanise research into advanced polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM)
In a joint publication, scientists from University College London, CEA/University Grenoble Alpes, and LENS members ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and Laboratoire Léon Br...
- How do ionic liquids diffuse in nanopores?
Supercapacitors are up-and-coming, energy storage devices, often used to store energy from renewable energy sources like wind turbines where power is intermittent. They combine the best of batt... - Joint Position Paper on Horizon Europe Missions issued by Europe's Analytical Research Infrastructures
Moon-shot missions, such as those of Horizon Europe, require exceptional solutions, and the world-leading Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIEs) are one of the key places those solut... - Ultra-fast diffusion of hydrogen in a novel mesoporous N-doped carbon
The synthesis of stable and cost-effective new materials is paramount for the development of advance technologies. At the same time, new and exciting insights can be made about material properties ... - Mapping the microscopic behaviour of conjugated polymers
Conjugated polymers have attracted broad academic and industrial interest over recent years for their potential use in a range of applications. Made up of a complex configuration of carbon and hydr...
- Revealing key protein molecules associated with the unique water purification properties of Moringa seeds
Seeds from the Moringa tree have unique water purification properties. The seed extract can separate unwanted particulates from water sedimenting impurities. They also have potential as anti-micro... - Closing the last gap for the Periodic Table's 150th birthday
Timely for the "International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements" which celebrates the 150th anniversary of Mendeleev's discovery of the periodic table, a European collaboration of che... - Exploring water-splitting photocatalysts with neutrons
Solar hydrogen can be produced from water and light in a process called photocatalytic water-splitting and could help to mitigate the impact of climate change, as no fossil fuels are used in its pr... - Investigating cyan fluorescent proteins for bioimaging with neutron experiments
For the past 25 years, scientists have been developing fluorescent proteins for bioimaging. Today their diversity covers nearly the whole visible spectrum, including blue, cyan, green, yellow, oran... - Neutrons paint atomic portrait of prototypical cell signaling enzyme-protein kinase A
Direct observations of the structure and catalytic mechanism of a prototypical kinase enzyme-protein kinase A or PKA - will provide researchers and drug developers with significantly enhanced abili...
- Neutrons observe vitamin B6-dependent enzyme activity
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have performed neutron structural analysis of a vitamin B6-dependent protein, potentially opening avenues for new antibiotics ... - Neutrons are supporting the fight against chronic diseases
Health is a leading area in which the impact of neutron science and technology has high visibility, as neutrons provide a very effective analytical tool for investigating the properties of matter a... - Neutron spectroscopy enables an international tem to unravel quantum entanglement in a dimer of complex molecular qubits
Molecular nanomagnets are inorganic compounds that consist of a metallic core surrounded by an organic ligand sheath, which acts to isolate each core leading to zero dimensional magnetic units - so... - A combined time-resolved neutron scattering and fluorescence study
AAA+ ATPases are a large family of ubiquitous enzymes with multiple tasks, including the remodelling of the cellular proteome, i.e. the ensemble of proteins in a biological cell. A subfamily, so-ca...
- Mysteries of enzyme mechanism revealed
An international research team led by the University of Leicester has made a breakthrough advance by trapping an intermediate in the mechanism of enzymes called heme peroxidases and determining its... - Scientists use neutrons to understand the secrets of extremophile bacteria
Microorganisms represent the most numerous life on earth and the understanding of how they behave is integral to our own survival and well-being. Microbial life has an amazing flexibility for adapt... - Insights into the fundamental coupling between collective and single-particle structures in 133Sb
Nuclear reactions are among the most important processes that drive our Universe. In our Sun nuclear fusion provides the energy for the sun to radiate. In more violent cosmic events neutron capture... - Newly discovered multiferroic nano-clusters
A team of scientists from England, Germany and France recently discovered novel so-called multiferroic clusters. Results were published as a featured article in the journal Advanced Functional Mate... - Using neutron crystallography to determine the structures of HIV-1 protease/drug complexes
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has become one of the world's most serious health and development challenges. Currently, there are approximately 36.9 million people living with HIV and tens of mil... - Observation of magnetic fragmentation in spin ice
Spin ice is an unusual magnetic material in which the combination of strong local Ising anisotropy and ferromagnetic interactions imposes a local constraint to the magnetic moments, the "ice-rule".... - Smart nanogels at the air/water interface: structural studies by neutron reflectivity
Gels are materials that are present in many everyday products such as shampoos, sunscreens and food gelatin among many others. They are formed by mixtures in which large amounts of liquid, usually ...
