Chemtunes: A pilot study of setting the rote to music Open
Rote learning can be dull! Yet for students to be successful at higher levels of education, there is a large base set of knowledge or vocabulary that must be learned and recognised, despite the absence of any rhyme or reason in said knowle…

The role of surface functionality on the adsorption of divalent metal ions Open
The toxicity of heavy metals has been extensively studied and is reasonably well understood. Heavy metals have been recognised for their toxicological effects on humans and other animal life. As a means of remediation, adsorption of heavy …

Tuning Catalyst Selectivity for Ammonia <i>vs</i> Hydrogen: An Investigation into the Coprecipitation of Mo and Fe Sulfides Open
Iron sulfides are key materials in metalloprotein catalysis. One interesting aspect of iron sulfides in biology is the incorporation of secondary metals, for example, Mo, in nitrogenase. These secondary metals may provide vital clues as to…

Redox Properties of Iron Sulfides: Direct <i>versus</i> Catalytic Reduction and Implications for Catalyst Design Open
In electrocatalysis we seldom think about the competing direct reduction reactions that may happen alongside catalytically mediated reduction‐ with direct redox chemistry often happening slower but in competition with, catalysis. One class…

Characterization of Energy Materials with X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy─Advantages, Challenges, and Opportunities Open
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) plays a critical role in the characterization of energy materials, including thin-film electrocatalysts and battery materials. XAS is well-suited for this purpose because it is element-specific and can t…

Structure Analysis of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery: A Combined USANS/SANS Study Open
Suspensions of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) stabilized with emulsifiers have been extensively investigated (since the 1990s) as drug carriers, although details of their ultrastructure are poorly defined. Previously, a novel microwave‐a…

Using a gamified mobile app to increase student engagement, retention and academic achievement Open
This study investigated whether the use of a gamified mobile learning app influenced students’ academic performance and boosted their engagement in the subject. Created to better engage students in lecture content, the app was used to deli…
