Antibodies in the development of immunological tests for in vitro diagnosis. Application in the context of infectious diseases and biological warfar...
Antibodies are proteins naturally produced by the immune system to protect us from infection by pathogens. Their main characteristic is their selectivity for their target, which is harnessed to produce new drugs. They are naturally generated in the body and this proces is...
Atom Probe Tomography (APT) enables access to compositional, morphological and structural information from microstructural features at the atomic scale. This information is especially important on neutron-irradiated material to characterize chemical composition variations around...
In the context of fast neutron reactors, boron carbide is a ceramic material with excellent properties for controlling nuclear reactor power. Thanks to its high absorption cross sections of 10B, this material provides an excellent neutron absorber. As a consequence of the 10B(n,α) nuclear reactions, significant quantities...
At the beginning we will have a brief look at the liquid-glass transition phenomenon. However, most attention will be focused on the behavior of molecular dynamics during the vitrification process, caused by cooling and compression. Molecular dynamic behavior will be analyzed and...
Synchrotron X-rays provide ideal tools for studying the processes that control localised corrosion of metals in wet environments, which is key to understanding the processes that can cause damage to structures such as nuclear waste storage containers and aircraft. In this talk, the morphology of localised corrosion is...
The ever increasing power of digital computers and the maturity of atomistic simulation tools based on first principles calculations and molecular mechanics provide a unique opportunity to design new materials for engineering applications in silico. The main limitation is...
