The ability to measure chemical bond changes on the nanometer scale is of critical importance for the characterization of catalytic materials, engineered materials and surfaces relevant to biological problems. In this paper, we will outline the development

The Collaborative Computing Project for NMR (CCPN) was originally funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in the UK along the lines of CCP4, a similar project for the X-ray community. It has three main aims: i) to

This presentation describes a research project whose objective is to produce, and demonstrate the utility of, a scientific database for oxide conductometric sensing materials. The database would relate materials performance (sensitivity, selectivity and
The enzyme chorismate lyase from E. coli crystallizes in three well characterized polymorphs in identical conditions. Wild-type enzyme tends to aggregate, even in the presence of reducing agent, and yields monoclinic crystals that grow in intricate

We study wetting in liquid mixtures of methanol and the n-alkanes. Mixing alkanes of different chain lengths, we can examine the crossover between critical (continuous) and first-order (discontinuous) wetting transitions. Measurements of the film thickness
This work describes the comparison of experimental measurements of electron beam spread in the environmental scanning electron microscope with model predictions. Beam spreading is the result of primary electrons being scattered out of the focused beam by

In situ Raman spectroscopy was employed to investigate corrosion of a zirconium-niobium alloy in air-saturated water at a pressure of 15.5 MPa and temperatures ranging from 22 to 407 C in an optically accessible flow cell. Monoclinic ZrO 2 (m-ZrO 2) was
High throughput experimentation is currently restricted by its limited ability to evaluate more than one parameter of a library at a time (e.g., chemical composition, dielectric constant, refractive index, surface roughness, phase , luminescence). When
In this chapter, we review the principles of sound propagation in fluid systems. From a study of the hydrodynamic equations, sound propagation is shown to be a wave phenomenon. The speed of sound then can be derieved at any state point from a knowledge of

sium-137 and other contaminants have leaked from many of the single-shell storage tanks at the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington. The leakage was into sandy unconsolidated sediments consisting largely of quartz, plagioclase, micas, smectite, and
The total current or flux of ions striking the substrate is an important parameter that must be tightly controlled during plasma processing. Several methods have recently been proposed for monitoring the ion current in situ. These methods rely on passive
