A step forward in the electrical control of spin states
The solution to an important problem in spintronics research, found by an international collaboration including researchers at the LCN, has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Spintronics is a multi-disciplinary research area that uses the quantum...
Escaping the quantum critical singularity; modulated magnetism in PrPtAI
The transition between ferromagnetism and paramagnetism in metals is one of the simplest examples of a continuous phase transition. Interesting behaviour is expected when the transition temperature becomes small because incoherent fluctuations above the transition...
Oriented growth is an emergent property of cellularised tissues
Scientists at the LCN have shown that the ability of tissues to orient their growth in response to externally applied forces is a simple consequence of the mechanics of cellularised materials and the ability of individual cells to divide along their long axis. The...
