Diffusion and migration in polymer electrolytes [PDF]
Mixtures of neutral polymers and lithium salts have the potential to serve as electrolytes in next-generation rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The purpose of this review is to expose the delicate interplay between polymer-salt interactions at the segmental

Hydration Water Dynamics and Instigation of Protein Structural Relaxation [PDF]
The molecular mechanism of the solvent motion that is required to instigate the protein structural relaxation above a critical hydration level or transition temperature has yet to be determined. In this work we use quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS)

Ultrafast Molecular Transport on Carbon Surfaces: The Diffusion of Ammonia on Graphite [PDF]
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the self-diffusion of ammonia on exfoliated graphite. Using neutron time-of-flight spectroscopy we are able to resolve the ultrafast diffusion process of adsorbed ammonia, NH$_3$, on graphite ...

Proton diffusivity in the BaZr0.9Y0.1O3−δ proton conductor [PDF]
The thermally activated proton diffusion in BaZr0.9Y0.1O3−δ was studied with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (IS) and quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) in the temperature range 300-900K.

The dynamics of methylammonium ions in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells
Methylammonium lead iodide perovskite can make high-efficiency solar cells, which also show an unexplained photocurrent hysteresis dependent on the device-poling history.

Picosecond Dynamic Heterogeneity, Hopping and Johari-Goldstein Relaxation in Glassforming Liquids
We show that incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) from molecular liquids reveals a two-state dynamic heterogeneity on a 1 ps timescale, where molecules are either highly confined or are free to undergo relatively large excursions.

Refined Structure of Metastable Ice XVII from Neutron Diffraction Measurements
The structure of the recently identified metastable ice XVII, obtained by release of hydrogen from the C$_0$ D$_2$O-H$_2$ compound (filled ice), has been accurately measured by neutron powder diffraction.
