Nucleation and growth of CdS nanoparticles observed by ultrafast SAXS
Aqueous solutions containing Cd2+ and S2- ions have been brought together in a T-mixer, and the formation of CdS nanoparticles has been monitored by ultrafast X-ray small angle scattering down to 0.2 ms. While no...

Reconstitution of aluminium and iron core in horse spleen apoferritin
This study investigates the uptake of iron and aluminium by apoferritin. In particular, we provide the first evidence that apoferritin is able to bind in vitro the physiological form of aluminium, Al(OH)4 ...

Time-resolved in-situ X-ray diffraction study of the formation of 3D-hexagonal mesoporous silica films
Highly oriented 3D-hexagonal silica thin films have been produced on silicon substrates by dip-coating technique, using cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB) bromide as structuring agent. For the first time, time-reso...

A First Insight in the Mechanisms Involved in the Self-Assembly of 2D-Hexagonal Templated SiO2 and TiO2 Mesostructured Films During Dip-Coating
Since mesoporous materials can be prepared by combining the sol-gel chemistry and the structuring effect of surfactants, they have attracted attention for application in various high technology fields. The pre...
