Understanding how ice crystals form in clouds
How ice forms on the surfaces of mineral dust particles in the atmosphere has been revealed by a team from the LCN and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. More than 90% of precipitation over land relies on the formation of ice crystals on airborne...
Silicon device solves overheating problem in lab analysis technique
Scientists from the LCN, Imperial College London and the University of Buenos Aires have published the results of a study testing a silicon nano-device in the journal Nature Communications. This silicon nano-device can funnel laser light to a tightly focused spot...
Nanotechnology to leverage infections and antibiotic sensing
“Miniaturized diagnostic tests can revolutionize the speed of diagnosing infectious diseases and hereditary ones such as haemophilia,” said Dr Joseph Ndieyira of UCL, senior author of a paper that has just been published in Nature Nanotechnology. Infections caused by...
