Quantum Beats: A Weird Science Silent Disco at Imperial Lates
A team from the London Centre for Nanotechnology at King’s brought quantum physics to life at Weird Science, an Imperial Lates event at Imperial College London. Molly Message (Department of Physics), Megan Grace-Hughes (LCN Centre Manager), and Dr Vittorio Aita...
Unveiling the Potential of Two-Dimensional Gold Flakes for Next-Generation Technologies
Two-dimensional single-crystal metals have long been coveted for their potential to drive next-generation technologies, as they offer a unique interplay between highly confined optical modes and quantum phenomena. Research carried out by LCN researchers at...
Greener, cheaper method to accelerate chemical reactions developed by LCN scientists and partners
A new, greener and cheaper method to accelerate chemical reactions has been developed by LCN scientists at King’s College London in collaboration with the University of Barcelona and ETH Zurich. Instead of using polluting and expensive metal-based catalysts, the team...
New findings in programming the optical properties of 2D materials could lead to advancements in nanophotonics and quantum technologies
Researchers at Imperial College London and Heriot-Watt University have discovered new ways to control the optical properties of 2D materials. Optical properties define how a material interacts with light. These properties play an important role for solar harvesting...
