Biomembranes

Attention Neutron Scatterers🚨🇨🇦 CINS & @CNL_LNC are hosting a virtual workshop: The Shaping the Future of Neutron Scattering in Canada: Workshop on Applications, Instruments, and Research Reactor Requirements. Join us Feb 18, 2025. Visit cins.ca/workshop2025/ for details.

Paper Alert! We use MuSR to study dynamics in model phospholipid membranes providing a new means of studying biomembrane dynamics on unique timescales! Iain McKenzie (@TRIUMFLab) @psich_en @fz_juelich @DiPasquale29 @maks_dziura @ThGutberlet @UWinResearch sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What an experience! Thanks @NSERC_CRSNG for making it possible. @ScienceUWindsor @UWindsor @NeutronsCanada uwindsor.ca/dailynews/2025…

It's live! Great work @DiPasquale29 @maks_dziura @omotion18 Et al.! Thank you @isisneutronmuon, @ORNLNeutrons for the neutrons! Vitamin E Acetate Causes Softening of Pulmonary Surfactant Membrane Models | Chemical Research in Toxicology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Awesome stuff Otis! @ChemUWindsor uwindsor.ca/dailynews/2025…

Thanks to @NSERC_CRSNG for their support in rebuilding our neutron scattering capabilities in Canada. Neutrons are irreplaceable quantum sensors with applications ranging from biology to quantum materials. @NeutronsCanada uwindsor.ca/publicaffairs/…

🚨Just in time for Dom's MSc defense! Ch. 3 of his thesis is officially available! 🔥 Determining the Rates of α-Tocopherol Movement in DPPC Vesicles Using Small Angle Neutron Scattering @BiophysJ cell.com/biophysj/fullt… @CellPressNews @ILLGrenoble @NIST @ChemUWindsor

Special Issue in the @CanJPhysics will feature topics presented at the 11th Meeting of the Union for Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources hosted by @TRIUMFLab, Feb. 24-28, 2025. All participants are encouraged to submit! cdnsciencepub.com/do/10.1139/new…

#OnThisDay “So this experiment basically took neutron scattering, which was then just an experimental process, and showed that it could be used to characterize matter in a way that’s just not possible using other methods,” said Stephen Nagler (retired). bit.ly/3GOLwxL

🚨CINS AGM🚨 Be sure to register for the November 26th (1pm-3pm ET) virtual annual general meeting! cins.ca/2024/10/15/202… @NeutronsCanada @CCNSCanada

Registration for 11th International Meeting of the Union for Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources is now open! #UCANS11 Join us in beautiful Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦 February 24-28, 2025 for this science filled week hosted by @TRIUMFLab uwindsor.ca/science/chemis…

Started my day with the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council. Ontario can be the leader-world wide-in the production of cancer fighting isotopes. @Bruce_Power & @OntarioNII are members of @IsotopesCanada & local #Huron #Bruce initiatives in support of isotope production are important

Excited to be joining the @IsotopesCanada advocacy event at Queen's Park. Great discussions and was able to share the work we are doing @ScienceUWindsor for a multipurpose accelerator facility! Details on the isotope production efforts: tvbassociates.ca/wp-content/upl… @UWinResearch

I am honoured to have been part of this process. It was a learning experience and I got to interact with so many world-class 🇨🇦 scientists throughout the process. @UWinResearch & @ScienceUWindsor checkout that CANS is a R&D priority!

In just two neutron experiments, scientists discovered remarkable details about the function of an enzyme that can aid drug design for aggressive cancers. “I think neutrons will be highly sought after in future structure-based drug design,” said @ORNL lead author Victoria Drago.
