New Horizons grant for adventurous research awarded to Dr Mark Oxborrow
LCN Researcher Dr Mark Oxborrow has been awarded a New Horizons research grant as part of a new pilot programme by the EPSRC. The pilot programme is designed to support adventurous, high-risk research in the mathematical and physical sciences. The EPSRC, which is part...
Correlation between melanin levels and free radical formation in human cells following illumination by ultraviolet A light.
Melanin is a naturally-occurring pigment that is largely responsible for skin colour. It absorbs the ultraviolet and blue components of sunlight, thus preventing the photochemical formation of free radicals that can damage DNA in the skin. In darkly pigmented skin,...
Microwave Spectroscopy of a Carbon Nanotube Charge Qubit
The use of quantum dots to define charge and spin qubits is well established in the field of quantum information processing. Quantum dot charge qubits are attractive because of the possibility of fast qubit control but are sensitive to charge noise which can result in...
