We have measured the superconducting properties of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) as-supplied and following two of the heat treatment schedules used for the Nb3Sn strands in the ITER tokamak. The Ti-64 alloy is the standard choice in the superc... Read More about Superconducting Properties of Titanium alloys (Ti-64 and Ti-6242) for critical current barrels.

We present the discovery of stellar tidal tails around the Large and the Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) in the Gaia DR1 data. In between the Clouds, their tidal arms are stretched towards each other to form an almost continuous s... Read More about Clouds, Streams and Bridges.

We present numerical studies of quantum walks on C 60 and related graphene structures to investigate their transport properties. Also known as a honeycomb lattice, the lattice formed by carbon atoms in the graphene phase can be rolled up to form nano... Read More about Quantum walk transport properties on graphene structures.

The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation (2016)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 466(3), 3460-3471. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw3356

Galaxies that have fallen into massive haloes may no longer be able to accrete gas from their surroundings: a process referred to as ‘starvation’ or ‘strangulation’ of satellites. We study the environmental dependence of gas accretion on to galaxies... Read More about The environmental dependence of gas accretion onto galaxies: quenching satellites through starvation.

The series of perovskite rare-earth (RE) doped cobaltites (RE)CoO3 (RE = La–Dy) was prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis. The crystal structure undergoes a change of symmetry depending on the size of the RE cation. LaCoO3 is rhombohedral, S.G. R3...

High cholesterol levels in the blood increase the risk of atherosclerosis. A common explanation is that the cholesterol increase in the plasma membrane perturbs the shape and functions of cells by disrupting the cell signaling pathways and the format...
