Researchers investigate the structure of water-in-salt electrolytes...
Studying suncream using SANS
The microstructure of suncream, and its dependence on the presence of UV filters and preservatives, has been measured using SANS for the first time.
Zoom experiment enables the formation of nanoscale Olympic rings
The first publication to come from an experiment on the newest ISIS instrument, Zoom, has identified a nucleation mechanism that enabled an international research group to create intricate structures comprising of interlocked single-molecule rings.
Hierarchical biomechanics: dictating hydrogel network properties from a single folded protein building block
Researchers from the University of Leeds have designed a protein hydrogel that can translate the properties of the individual protein-ligand interaction to that of the whole protein network.
