Stabilising Hard Axis Ferromagnetism by a Quantum Indian Rope Trick.

by Owen Harrison | Jan 19, 2015 | News, Publication, Research Highight

Random forces usually have a destabilising effect. A tightrope walker would rather not experience gusts of wind, for example. There are, however, cases where random forces can stabilize a system in state that would otherwise be unstable. The essential ingredient is...

UCL and i-sense collaborate with Google to track flu outbreaks

UCL and i-sense have joined forces with Google to contribute to the earlier global detection of influenza outbreaks. Each year, seasonal influenza affects many thousands of people in the UK and millions worldwide, producing symptoms ranging from those similar to a...

Fractionalisation of magnetic quasi-particles in a two dimensional magnet

by Owen Harrison | Jan 8, 2015 | News, Publication, Research Highight

Electrons carry both a charge and a magnetic moment, and the collective way in which electrons behave leads to the familiar electrical and magnetic properties of materials. Isolated electrons are fundamental particles, in the sense that they are believed to be...
