Using nanomaterials and biosensors to diagnose
LCN Professor Molly Stevens and her research group were interviewed for the Winter edition of Imperial Magazine. The article explores the group’s research into the fast and accurate diagnosis of diseases like HIV and Malaria. To read the full article please...
From superlattices to supercrystals
The concept of order is a cornerstone of condensed matter physics. Atoms order to form crystals, which, in turn, play host to other fascinating and technologically useful ordering phenomena. For example, in ferroelectric crystals, tiny displacements of ions create...
How to fold an epithelium
During our everyday life, many of our tissues are subjected to large deformations. LCN scientists have now uncovered how tissues can rapidly adapt their length in response to deformation. The research, published in Nature Materials, provides us with a better...
