Coupled quantum spins in a CMOS nano-device
LCN scientists have demonstrated a new hybrid system that is a promising candidate as a building block for quantum computation, showing a way to couple a natural phosphorus atom with an artificial atom called a quantum dot. The research, published recently in the...
Silicon device solves overheating problem in lab analysis technique
Scientists from the LCN, Imperial College London and the University of Buenos Aires have published the results of a study testing a silicon nano-device in the journal Nature Communications. This silicon nano-device can funnel laser light to a tightly focused spot...
Nanotechnology to leverage infections and antibiotic sensing
“Miniaturized diagnostic tests can revolutionize the speed of diagnosing infectious diseases and hereditary ones such as haemophilia,” said Dr Joseph Ndieyira of UCL, senior author of a paper that has just been published in Nature Nanotechnology. Infections caused by...
Virtual Supercomputer Finds Clean Water Clue
An article published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology today discusses a recently discovered phenomenon in which the use of carbon nanotubes, under specific conditions, could potentially lead to more efficient water filtering with less expense and less impact on...
