Synthetic ‘virus’ to kill bacteria
A synthetic ‘virus’ that kills bacteria on first contact has been developed by LCN and National Physical Laboratory researchers (NPL). The study, published in Nature Communications, shows how newly designed proteins can be used to build tiny hollow shells that emulate...
Radiant 2-dimensional carbon nitride nanomaterials
2-dimesional nanomaterials that could be used to create light emitting diodes (LEDs) or solar cells have been made through the simple, but unconventional, method of spontaneous dissolution. This new industrially-scalable approach, published in Nano Letters, produces...
Neon FIB solves loss issue in superconducting nanowire devices
Superconducting circuits currently have a wide range of applications in metrology and quantum devices. The active element in most functional superconducting circuits is based upon one or more Josephson junctions. These are typically formed by aluminium oxide...
