The Art of Science
UCL acadmics produce winning image in the science photo competition Wellcome Image Awards 2015 A scanning electron micrograph of tree-like branches (dendritic tree) spreading out from a particular type of nerve cell (Purkinje cell, or neurone) found in the brain. The...
A step forward in the electrical control of spin states
The solution to an important problem in spintronics research, found by an international collaboration including researchers at the LCN, has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Spintronics is a multi-disciplinary research area that uses the quantum...
Escaping the quantum critical singularity; modulated magnetism in PrPtAI
The transition between ferromagnetism and paramagnetism in metals is one of the simplest examples of a continuous phase transition. Interesting behaviour is expected when the transition temperature becomes small because incoherent fluctuations above the transition...
