Turning a pinch of salt into an electrical switch
A team of scientists from the LCN at UCL, the University of Liverpool in the UK and the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory at the University of Zaragoza in Spain have discovered a way to induce and control a fundamental electrical switching behaviour by interfacing...
Observation of strong coupling and cavity quantum electrodynamics in a solid-state MASER at room-temperature
Creating practical solid-state, quantum computers that operate at room-temperature is a challenging task. This is because stored information is readily destroyed by thermal noise. A signature of a physical system’s ability to function as a quantum computer is the...
Revealing the Structure of Human Chromosomes and Nucleus in Three Dimensions
When we talk about chromosomes, the familiar images with an X-shape would probably flash into our minds. Did you ever think that the chromosomes could be in other shapes, not the X-shape, with an organized structure? A team led by LCN researchers, Prof. Ian Robinson...
