The hydrophobic adamantane molecule is fully hydrated through vapour codeposition with water onto a cryogenic substrate and the structure of the first hydration shell is studied with neutron diffraction.

Many materials of interest and processes relevant to life are based in disordered phases. This disorder can be either positional, orientational or both as in the case of liquids. Unfortunately, the study of disordered ...

Making maths accessible to the general public and to students is not an easy task, but what happens when you can ¿hear¿ that maths? We present in this article a show performed together with musicians that unravels the ...

Cocaine is an amphiphilic drug which has the ability to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Here, a combination of neutron diffraction and computation has been used to investigate the atomic scale structure of cocaine in ...

The amino acid lysine has been shown to prevent water crystallization at low temperatures in saturated aqueous solutions [S. Cerveny and J. Swenson, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2014, 16, 22382–22390]. Here, we investigate two ...

The solvation of prilocaine has been investigated in pure water and in an amphiphilic methanol/water solution using a combination of neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution augmented by Empirical Potential Structure ...

Pendulums have long been used to to determine the kinematics of non-inertial rotating systems. A proper study of this classical mechanical device under the action of a rotating reference frame can fully describe the behavior ...

We employ calorimetry, Rietveld refinement of X-ray powder diffraction, broadband dielectric spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations, to investigate the phase behavior, crystal structure, dc conductivity and ...

In his comment on a recent publication by us, G. Graziano claims that solubility differences of indole in methanol and water can be rationalized by the reversible work needed to create a cavity in the solvent of the size ...
