New Horizons grant for adventurous research awarded to Dr Mark Oxborrow
LCN Researcher Dr Mark Oxborrow has been awarded a New Horizons research grant as part of a new pilot programme by the EPSRC. The pilot programme is designed to support adventurous, high-risk research in the mathematical and physical sciences. The EPSRC, which is part...
How to fold an epithelium
During our everyday life, many of our tissues are subjected to large deformations. LCN scientists have now uncovered how tissues can rapidly adapt their length in response to deformation. The research, published in Nature Materials, provides us with a better...
Quantum circuits with a levitated heart
A collaboration between LCN researchers and the University of Duissburg-Essen has found a way to strengthen quantum networks by levitating key components, whilst simultaneously exploring the boundaries of quantum mechanics. Do you believe in quantum physics? Quantum...
Quantum nanodiamonds may help detect disease earlier
The quantum sensing abilities of nanodiamonds can be used to improve the sensitivity of paper-based diagnostic tests, potentially allowing for earlier detection of diseases such as HIV, according to a study led by UCL researchers in the i-sense McKendry group....
