Using a Single Molecule to Create a New Magnetic Field Sensor

by Owen Harrison | Jan 26, 2015 | News, Publication, Research Highight

A new way to use a single molecule as a magnetic field sensor has been discovered by LCN researchers at UCL and the University of Liverpool. In the study, published in Nature Nanotechnology, the scientists show how magnetism can manipulate the way electricity flows...

Stabilising Hard Axis Ferromagnetism by a Quantum Indian Rope Trick.

by Owen Harrison | Jan 19, 2015 | News, Publication, Research Highight

Random forces usually have a destabilising effect. A tightrope walker would rather not experience gusts of wind, for example. There are, however, cases where random forces can stabilize a system in state that would otherwise be unstable. The essential ingredient is...
