Evidence of topological excitations in a quantum magnet
Condensed matter physics is the study of the multitude of ways that matter can organise itself. In each phase as conventionally understood, be it a magnet, metal, superconductor or something else, it is possible to characterise the phase by looking at the system...
Serial killers of the immune system caught on microscopic CCTV
Our life hinges on an army of serial killers that attack virus-infected and cancerous cells in our body. These killers are a type of white blood cell called cytotoxic lymphocytes, which show remarkable efficiency in first perforating their victims and next injecting...
Neutron Radiation Tolerance of Organic-based Devices
Avionics and space applications as well as smaller scale devices, such as weather balloons, mini-satellites and high-flying drones, may benefit greatly from the lightness and flexibility of organic-based devices because of the vital importance of minimising payload...
