DNA-based nanocontainers for drug delivery
Scientists from the LCN have engineered a novel nanoscale drug delivery vehicle which can be tuned to release a range of cargos. The drug delivery system consists of self-assembled DNA nanopores embedded in nanometre-sized ‘bubbles’ known as polymersomes. Polymersomes...
Ultrafast control and detection of magnetic correlations in a 5d transition metal oxide
Understanding how the electronic and magnetic properties of materials are modified by the injection of charge carriers is of central importance across a range of fundamental and applied research. For example, the selective doping of impurity atoms into semiconductors...
Individual gold atoms can help generate clean fuel
A combined experimental and theoretical study comprising researchers from the Chemistry Department and LCN, along with groups in Argentina, China, Spain and Germany, has shed new light on the behaviour of individual gold atoms supported on defective thin cerium...
