DNA-based nanocontainers for drug delivery
Scientists from the LCN have engineered a novel nanoscale drug delivery vehicle which can be tuned to release a range of cargos. The drug delivery system consists of self-assembled DNA nanopores embedded in nanometre-sized ‘bubbles’ known as polymersomes. Polymersomes...
Individual gold atoms can help generate clean fuel
A combined experimental and theoretical study comprising researchers from the Chemistry Department and LCN, along with groups in Argentina, China, Spain and Germany, has shed new light on the behaviour of individual gold atoms supported on defective thin cerium...
LCN academic awarded the RMS Medal for Scanning Probe Microscopy
A new series of Medals was launched by Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) in 2014 to coincide with its 175th anniversary. The series is designed to recognise and celebrate individuals who make outstanding contributions to the field of microscopy across both the life...
