LCN Scientist awarded prestigious IOM3 prizes
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining has awarded four highly esteemed prizes in recognition for outstanding research to LCN Scientists in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London. The annual awards recognise the significant contributions and...
LCN researchers observe many-body physics in an atomic layer of spin ice
A half-century old prediction about how a sheet of atoms will behave has been experimentally verified by researchers at the LCN. Any familiar lump of matter – whether a drop of water or a grain of salt – contains a lot of atoms, typically up to a trillion trillion....
Identifying triplet pathways in dilute pentacene films
Improving the efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity is a fundamental task if humanity is to overcome its dependence on fossil fuels. When light is shone onto a semiconductor, for example in a photovoltaic cell, one photon usually generates one excited...
