Complex metal hydrides are a fascinating and continuously expanding class of materials with many properties relevant for solid-state hydrogen and ammonia storage and solid state electrolytes. The crystal structures are often investigated using powder X-ray

Strongly correlated electrons in layered perovskite structures have been the birthplace of high-temperature superconductivity, spin liquid, and quantum criticality. Specifically, the cuprate materials with layered structures made of corner sharing square
Composition and asymmetry of lipid membranes provide a means for regulation of trans-membrane permeability of ions and small molecules. The pH dependence of these processes plays an important role in the functioning and survival of cells. In this work, we

Metal closo-borates and their derivatives have shown promise in several fields of application from cancer therapy to solid-state electrolytes partly owing to their stability in aqueous solutions and high thermal stability. We report the synthesis and

The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the primary regulating transporter of water-soluble metabolites and ions across the mitochondrial outer membrane. When reconstituted into lipid membranes, VDAC responds to sufficiently large transmembrane

Cell membranes play a crucial role for life. They are involved, for example, in cell migration and recognition. Lipids, organized in a bilayer structure, are one of their major constituents. Alterations in the lipid-bilayer elasticity can lead to cell

Increasing electrode thickness is one route to improve the energy density of lithium-ion battery cells. However, restricted Li+ transport in the electrolyte phase through the porous microstructure of thick electrodes limits the ability to achieve high

By employing quasi-elastic neutron scattering, we studied the atomic-scale relaxation dynamics and transport mechanism of La 50Ni 15Al 35 and Ce 69Cu 20Al 10Nb 1 Studied by Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering metallic glass melts in the temperature range of
Biological membranes are composed of complex mixtures of lipids and proteins that influence each other's structure and function. The biological activities of many channel-forming peptides and proteins are known to depend on the material properties of the

In the search for novel broad‑spectrum therapeutics to fight chronic infections, inflammation, and cancer, host defense peptides (HDPs) have garnered increasing interest. Characterizing their biologically‑active conformations and minimum motifs for

This work explores the complex interplay between slurry aggregation, agglomeration, and conformation (i.e. shape) of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and lithiated poly(acrylic acid) (LiPAA) based silicon slurries as a function of shear rate, and the resulting

Many recent innovative treatments are based on monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other protein therapies. Nevertheless, sustained subcutaneous, oral or pulmonary delivery of such therapeutics are limited by the poor stability, short half-life, and non
By exploiting the penetration and scattering properties of neutrons, images of matter in two or three dimensions reveal information unobtainable with other probes. Despite the limitation in brilliance of neutron sources, several neutron-based imaging
