Revealing the Structure of Human Chromosomes and Nucleus in Three Dimensions
When we talk about chromosomes, the familiar images with an X-shape would probably flash into our minds. Did you ever think that the chromosomes could be in other shapes, not the X-shape, with an organized structure? A team led by LCN researchers, Prof. Ian Robinson...
Radiant 2-dimensional carbon nitride nanomaterials
2-dimesional nanomaterials that could be used to create light emitting diodes (LEDs) or solar cells have been made through the simple, but unconventional, method of spontaneous dissolution. This new industrially-scalable approach, published in Nano Letters, produces...
Neon FIB solves loss issue in superconducting nanowire devices
Superconducting circuits currently have a wide range of applications in metrology and quantum devices. The active element in most functional superconducting circuits is based upon one or more Josephson junctions. These are typically formed by aluminium oxide...
Amazing masers at the Royal Society
A team of LCN researchers is exhibiting at the prestigious Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in London (4-9 July). The joint Imperial/UCL team, led by Professor Neil Alford, has developed a new room-temperature form of maser (a device similar to to the familiar...
