New COVID-19 dashboard highlights gaps in data needed to address pandemic
Researchers within i-sense, based at the LCN, have developed a new public health data visualisation dashboard for COVID-19. In developing the dashboard researchers revealed significant issues regarding the quality, consistency and availability of reliable data needed...
LCN researchers make electrical nanolasers even smaller
LCN researchers, in collaboration with a team at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have developed a concept of an electrically driven nanolaser which is not only much smaller than the other integrated lasers but even smaller than the free-space wavelength it...
Researchers awarded £3.5m to study how certain cells use and resist force
Researchers have long understood that biochemical signals affect cells, and recently it has been recognised that mechanical forces regulate a wide variety of biological processes, ranging from the expansion of our lungs when we breathe, to the extension of our skin...
