Phase transitions of poloxamer P 188 aqueous solutions during cooling and heating are investigated using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS). It is shown that P 188 solution (10 % (w/w))

Electrolytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is becoming increasingly promising for managing anthropogenic CO2 emissions; however, issues related to unstable performance and ineffective gas management are still not fully accounted for in the field. Here, we

Slab models are simple and useful structural descriptions which have long been used to describe lyotropic lamellar phases, such as lipid bilayers. Typically, slab models break a bilayer structure into three pieces, an inner solvent-free core and two

We demonstrate that a naturally occurring nanopore of the mitochondrion, the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), can be used to electromechanically trap and interrogate proteins bound to a lipid surface at the single-molecule level. Electromechanically

Deep underground repositories are needed to isolate radioactive waste from the biosphere. Bentonite is an integral component of many multibarrier repository systems. Information on the hydraulic behavior of bentonite is needed for modeling the long-term

The rare-earth pyrosilicate family of compounds (RE 2Si 2O 7) hosts a variety of polymorphs, some with honeycomb-like geometries of the rare-earth sublattices, and the magnetism has yet to be deeply explored in many of the cases. Here we report on the

Cells depend on proper lipid transport and their precise distribution for vital cellular function. Disruption of such lipid organization can be initiated by external agents to cause cell death. Here, we investigate two antimicrobial pore-forming peptides

Using neutron spin-echo spectroscopy, we studied the microscopic structural relaxation of liquid ZnCl 2 in the temperature range from 600 K to 735 K, at wavevector transfer Q = 2.1 angstrom} −1 corresponding to the nearest-neighboring ionic correlation and
Compounds with fluorite-type Bi 2O 2 layers display various properties due to stereoactive Bi-ions. Bi 2O 2-based oxyhalides are promising visible-light photocatalysts, where several strategies have been demonstrated to control the valence band maximum
