Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human opportunistic pathogen that causes severe infections in immunocompromised patients. P. aeruginosa and other pathogenic bacteria use several virulence factors to promo

(jpg - 536 Ki) Research has demonstrated the likely critical membrane fusion mechanism involved when the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infects human cells. SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19

Researchers combine neutron diffraction experiments and simulations to study NaCl solutions under extreme conditions. Salty water can act as a large carbon sink, sequestering carbon dioxide in deep sa

Single-event effects (SEEs), which are mainly induced by neutron particles, can be responsible for soft errors. SEEs are taken into account during design phase of Avionics Equipment to avoid impact on

"Inelastic neutron scattering contributes to studying vibrational degrees-of-freedom to better understand disorder and its effect on electronic charge transport efficiency and mechanisms in organic se

Accommodating water within their pores and ideally fueled by solar energy, organic porous water-splitting materials trigger the process of splitting water molecules via oxidation and reduction reactio

(png - 0.92 Mi) Schematic, cross-sectional view of a PEM fuel cell. Hydrogen fuel is channelled to the anode, while oxygen from air is channelled to the cathode. At the anode, hydrogen is split into p

New algorithm enables more efficient acquisition of high-value datasets The ILL has validated a new autonomous data acquisition system. New software known as gpCAM has been developed to determine the

An international team, including ILL scientists, have used neutron scattering to study the behaviour of dense supercritical methane. Their results could help to better model the interiors of methane-r
