Rapid isothermal amplification diagnostic test to detect multiple COVID-19 genes
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of testing to limit the spread of the virus, and the need for rapid nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) to widen access to testing, particularly in low resource settings. In response to this challenge, the UCL...
Dramatic increase in the size of systems that can be simulated on current quantum computers
Researchers at UCL, King’s College London, Technical University of Munich, and the quantum software start-up GTN have developed new algorithms that can simulate an infinite quantum system on finite quantum computers. Currently available quantum computers have...
