Special Temperatures for Magnetic Discovery
Getting to low temperature is something we take for granted today: laboratories across the world are awash with liquid nitrogen at -196C and body scanners in hospitals use liquid helium at only 4.2 degrees above absolute zero (-269 C). Yet what underpins this low...
Morphing twisted nanoscale objects opens up a new way to tailor applications in future technologies
Lonon Centre for Nanotechnology Scientists have helped create a way to model interactions between light and twisted molecules, as they transition from left to right-handed versions, or vice versa. For the first time scientists have created a way to model the...
Mimicking viruses from inside out using DNA origami
The cover of the current issue of ACS Synthetic Biology highlights the work of a research team from UCL, the LCN and NPL to engineer a programmable inside-out “virus”. This everted “virus” is designed to deliver functional proteins into live cells. The synthetic virus...
