der University (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg have taken a major stride towards the construction of a GaAs-based backscattering spectrometer. The result is a drop in energy resolution to several tens of nano-eV ... has convinced them that a full-scale spectrometer could now be built in a straightforward way providing energy resolution in the order of 50 ...

resulted in the proposal of a molecular mechanism by which transthyretin forms amyloid fibrils through a parallel equilibrium of partially unfolded protein forms. Transthyretin has a complex hierarchical structure ... folded, functional TTR towards amyloid fibrilisation. A new neutron method Additionally, this study has emphasised the potential ...

The integral membrane protein MsbA (blue) embedded in a ‘semi-transparent’ membranous nanodisc (grey). The nanodisc itself is, through selective deuteration, rendered invisible in SANS experiments that ... in its native context. The membranes that surround our cells contain a large number of proteins. Membrane proteins are therefore a crucial class ...

This observation constitutes a concrete example of a three-dimensional quantum spin liquid—a topical state of ... be achieved in a number of ways that grow exponentially with the number of tetrahedra involved, so that no order can occur. A spin ice is ...
