Atomically Controlled Gas Sensing
An international team of scientists, including those from the LCN at UCL, have solved the stucture of a gas sensing surface of tin dioxide, opening the way to advanced device design. The basis for the gas sensing as well other applications of tin oxide is the...

UCL’s recent spotlight features Dr Alice Pyne, a Research Fellow in Biophysics at the London Centre for Nanotechnology: Spotlight on Dr Alice Pyne.
Topological order and thermal equilibrium in polariton condensates
In a two-dimensional fluid, disorder-causing mechanisms are exceptionally strong and so an absolute order cannot be achieved. Nevertheless, there is an enormous difference between systems of lesser and of greater order (for example between an ordinary fluid such as...
Turning a pinch of salt into an electrical switch
A team of scientists from the LCN at UCL, the University of Liverpool in the UK and the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory at the University of Zaragoza in Spain have discovered a way to induce and control a fundamental electrical switching behaviour by interfacing...
