Author(s)
Rahul Chadda, Nathan Bernhardt, Elizabeth Kelley, Susana Marujo Teixeira, Kacie Griffith, Alejandro Gil-Ley, Tugba Ozturk, Lauren Hughes, Ana Forsythe, Venkatramanan Krishnamani, Jose Faraldo-Gomez, Janice Robertson
Over two-thirds of integral membrane proteins of known structure assemble into oligomers. Yet, the forces that drive the association of these proteins remain to be delineated, as the lipid bilayer is a solvent environment that is both structurally and

Interplay between the Reorientational Dynamics of the B 3 H 8 - Anion and the Structure in KB 3 H 8

Author(s)
M. S. Andersson, Jakob Grinderslev, X.-M. Chen, X. Chen, Ulrich Haussermann, Wei Zhou, T. R. Jensen, M. Karlsson, Terrence J. Udovic
The local structure and reorientational dynamics of KB 3H 8 were studied using quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering, Raman spectroscopy, first-principles calculations and differential scanning calorimetry. The results reveal the existence of a

Author(s)
Laisuo Su, Jamie Weaver, Mitchell C. Groenenboom, Nathan Nakamura, Eric Rus, Priyanka Anand, Shikhar Krishn Jha, Joseph Okasinski, Joseph Dura, B Reeja-Jayan
Electrode−electrolyte interfaces (EEIs) affect the rate capability, cycling stability, and thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Designing stable EEIs with fast Li+ transport is crucial for developing advanced LIBs. Here, we study Li+ kinetics at

Adsorption of Non-Ionic Surfactant and Monoclonal Antibody on Siliconized Surface Studied by Neutron Reflectometry

February 15, 2021
Author(s)
Zhenhuan Zhang, Ann M. Woys, Kunlun Hong, Christoph Grapentin, Tarik A. Khan, Isidro E. Zarraga, Norman J. Wagner, Yun Liu
The adsorption of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) on hydrophobic surfaces is known to cause protein aggregation and degradation. Therefore, surfactants, such as Poloxamer 188, are widely used in therapeutic formulations to stabilize mAbs and protect mAbs from

Micromechanical Behaviorof Multilayered Ti/Nb Composites Processed by Accumulative Roll Bonding: An in-situ Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction Investigation

February 14, 2021
Author(s)
S. Jiang, R. L. Peng, Z. Hegedus, Thomas Gnaupel-Herold, J. J. Moverare, U. Lienert, F. Fang, X. Zhao, L. Zuo, N. Jia
Ti/Nb multilayered composites were fabricated by accumulative roll bonding (ARB). With increasing ARB cycles, shear bands become predominant in the continuously strengthened composites. The correlation between micromechanical behavior and mechanical

Why Polymer Glasses with Enhanced Sub-nanosecond Relaxation are Tougher
