The small angle neutron scattering (SANS) of nearly Q-independent nuclear spin-incoherent scattering from hydrogen present in most soft matter and biology samples may raise an issue in structure determination in certain soft matter applications. This is

A gas-pressure chamber has been designed, constructed, and tested at a moderate pressure (3.4 MPa, 500 psi) and has the capability of mechanical loading of steel specimens for neutron scattering measurements. The chamber will allow a variety of in situ

In this paper a method to control the temperature for a rotating USANS sample holder is introduced. The temperature is controlled via halogen light bulbs and an IR-sensor to avoid interference with the rotation.

The role of mitochondrial membranes in oxidative phosphorylation, energy production, calcium signaling, and mitochondrial metabolism is well established, especially with regard to lipid and steroid homeostasis, communication with other organelles
The dynamics of polypropylene glycol, both neat and attached to silica nanoparticles, were investigated using elastic neutron backscattering and dielectric spectroscopy. The mean square displacement measured by the former is suppressed by the particles at

The vibrational spectra of hydrogen and the parameters of H jump motion in the hexagonal Th 2Ni 17-type compounds Ho 2Fe 17H 4 and Y 2Fe 17G 4,2 have been studied by means of inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering. It is found that hydrogen atoms

In a recent paper [C.E. Bertrand et al., J. Chem. Phys. 145, 014502 (2016)], we have shown that the collective dynamics of methanol shows a fast relaxation process related to the standard density-fluctuation heat mode and a slow non-Fickian mode

Porous carbons are important for many applications. The biopolymer gelatin provides a simple route to functional carbon foams with77 multimodal porosity. In this paper, small angle neutron scattering is applied alongside other techniques to elucidate the
Mixtures of light and heavy water are used in NMR, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), growth media for producing deuterated biological molecules, and analytical methods such as Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry. It is common to
Viscosity control for concentrated protein solutions is very important for the manufacturability and and drug delivery routes of many protein therapeutics of the pharmaceutical industry. Even though there are successful applications of colloidal theories

Bottlebrush polymers have densely tethered side-chains that are grafted to a linear polymer backbone, resulting in stretching of both the side-chains and backbone. Prior studies have reported that the side-chains are only weakly stretched while the

The structural characterization of peripheral membrane proteins represents a tremendous challenge in structural biology due to their transient interaction with the membrane and the potential multitude of protein conformations during this interaction

Osteopontin is a disordered phosphoprotein that is expressed in many species and tissues and has a range of distinct functions. A notable property of more highly phosphorylated isoforms of osteopontin is their ability to sequester nanoclusters of calcium
