King’s opens new suite of photonics and nanofabrication laboratories
A new suite of photonics and nanofabrication laboratories has been officially opened on the King’s College London Strand Campus. The photonics laboratories house cutting-edge levitated optomechanics experiments and attosecond lasers as well as extending King’s...
Controlling optical response with designed electron temperature distributions in plasmonic nanostructures.
LCN researchers at King’s College London have discovered how to control light at ultrafast timescales by designing the distribution of energy of electrons in nanostructures. These metallic nanostructures are manmade materials that can have interesting optical...
Wonder material: individual 2D phosphorene nanoribbons made for the first time
Tiny, individual, flexible ribbons of crystalline phosphorus have been made by UCL researchers in a world first, and they could revolutionise electronics and fast-charging battery technology. Since the isolation of 2-dimensional phosphorene, which is the phosphorus...
