Priscila Costa, Jamie Weaver, M Raele, Kevin Pritchard, Juscelino Leao, C Domienikan, Nicholas C. Maliszewskyj, F da Silva, W Pereira, Frederico Genezini
This study demonstrates the construction and operation of a portable, solid-state thermal neutron sensor that utilizes a photodiode coated with a thin layer of boron-10 (10B). The boron layer was created using pulsed laser deposition and analyzed through

Liquid Piston Based on Molecular Springs for Energy Storage Applications

Pawel Zajdel, David Madden, Robin Babu, Diego Mirani, Nikolay Tsyrin, Luis Bartolome, Eder Amayuelas, David Fairen-Jimenez, Alexander Lowe, Miroslaw Chorazewski, Juscelino Leao, Craig Brown, Markus Bleuel, Victor Stoudenets, Maria Echeverria, Francisco Bonilla, Giulia Grancini, Simone Meloni, Yaroslav Grosu
Controlling the pressure at which liquids intrude (wet) and extrude (dry) into/from nanopore is of paramount importance for a broad range of applications, such as energy conversion, catalysis, chromatography, separation, ionic channels, and many more. To

In-situ Monitoring of Protein Unfolding/Structural States under Cold High-Pressure Stress

November 26, 2021

Diana Gomes, Susana C. Marujo Teixeira, Juscelino Leao, Vladimir Razinkov, Wei Qi, Miguel Rodrigues, Christopher Roberts
Biopharmaceutical formulations may be compromised by freezing, which has been attributed to protein conformational changes at a low temperature, and adsorption to ice−liquid interfaces. However, direct measurements of unfolding/conformational changes in

Promoting Persistent Superionic Conductivity in Sodium Monocarba-closo-dodecaborate NaCB11H12 via Confinement within Nanoporous Silica

July 26, 2021

Mikael Andersson, Vitalie Stavila, Alexander V. Skripov, Mirjana Dimitrievska, Malgorzata T. Psurek, Juscelino Leao, Olga Babanova, Roman Skoryunov, Alexei Soloninin, Maths Karlsson, Terrence J. Udovic
Superionic phases of bulk anhydrous salts based on large cluster-like polyhedral (carba)borate anions are generally stable only well above room temperature, rendering them unsuitable as solid-state electrolytes in energy-storage devices that typically

Controlling Bicontinuous Structures through Solvent Segregation Driven Gel

February 16, 2021
Author(s)
Yuyin Xi, Juscelino Leao, Qiang Ye, Ronald S. Lankone, Li Piin Sung, Yun Liu
The past decade has seen increased research interests in studying bicontinuous structures formed by the colloidal self-assembly due to their many useful applications. A new type of colloidal gel, solvent segregation driven gel (SeedGel), has been recently
