Optical Skyrmions: A New Playground for Photonics
The latest issue of Photonics Focus shines a spotlight on optical skyrmions, intricate topological structures formed by light fields that promise to transform the future of photonics. LCN researchers in the Department of Physics at King’s are at the forefront of...
Groundbreaking STM image sheds light on silicon defects for quantum tech
New research led by Steven Schofield (UCL, LCN, Department of Physics & Astronomy, CMMP), in collaboration with Michael Flatté (University of Iowa / Eindhoven University of Technology), has achieved a major milestone in semiconductor research: the first...
Tens of millions of nanoneedles could replace painful cancer biopsies
A patch containing tens of millions of microscopic nanoneedles could soon replace traditional biopsies, LCN scientists at King’s have found. The patch offers a painless and less invasive alternative for millions of patients worldwide who undergo biopsies each...
Nanoneedle Technology Corrects Genetic Mutation in Rare Skin Disease
LCN Researchers from the Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences at King’s College London have developed a novel technique using tiny, biocompatible needles—called nanoneedles—to deliver gene-editing tools directly into skin cells, correcting a genetic...
