Multidomain Ferroelectrics Test Positive for Negative Capacitance
An international collaboration involving researchers from the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the LCN, and colleagues from Switzerland, Spain, France and Luxembourg has demonstrated that destabilising the spontaneous polarisation of a special class of...
Quantum magnets forced to ”chillax”
In what may provide a potential path to connecting data in a quantum computer, researchers have shown that excited atoms in silicon can be forced into a relaxed state on-demand using a device that serves as a microwave “tuning fork.” The team’s findings could...
Structures of two dimensional ice predicted by computer simulations
Scientists at UCL, including the LCN, and Cambridge have predicted new two-dimensional ice structures on the basis of state-of-the-art computer simulations. A systematic computer simulation study has led to predictions about how water molecules freeze into a single...
