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...
Hands off approach to looking into silicon chips
The possibility of looking inside silicon chips to see their tiny working parts, without damaging the chips, is a step closer thanks to an international team led by scientists at the LCN. The group at the LCN, led by Dr Neil Curson, have shown that they can generate...
