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...
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...
