New hyperbolic metamaterial fabricated by researchers at King’s College London.
A new type of hyperbolic metamaterial has been developed by researchers at King’s College London (KCL) allowing researchers have greater flexibility of manipulating light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Hyperbolic Metamaterials are artificial...
Building a nano-scale filter using DNA
Inspired by biological filters, scientists at UCL, Imperial College London and Yale University have designed and built a nanometre-sized pore that helps us to better understand the complex way by which cells transport genetic material and viruses. Image:...
Synthetic ‘virus’ to kill bacteria
A synthetic ‘virus’ that kills bacteria on first contact has been developed by LCN and National Physical Laboratory researchers (NPL). The study, published in Nature Communications, shows how newly designed proteins can be used to build tiny hollow shells that emulate...
