Inhibiting the growth of the world’s largest gas resource
Natural gas hydrates may be a vast untapped energy resource but they cause severe problems in oil and gas pipelines and are potent greenhouse gases. To improve our understanding of these problematic compounds methane hydrate was studied using neutrons. Natural gas...
Atomically Controlled Gas Sensing
An international team of scientists, including those from the LCN at UCL, have solved the stucture of a gas sensing surface of tin dioxide, opening the way to advanced device design. The basis for the gas sensing as well other applications of tin oxide is the...
Ultrafast control and detection of magnetic correlations in a 5d transition metal oxide
Understanding how the electronic and magnetic properties of materials are modified by the injection of charge carriers is of central importance across a range of fundamental and applied research. For example, the selective doping of impurity atoms into semiconductors...
