Stable Two-Dimensional Radioactive Films: An Atomic-Scale Picture
Two dimensional radioactive films are a new and exciting system to study nuclear decay at the atomic level with applications in a variety of fields ranging from medical imaging to cancer therapy. Before these films can be used in real-world application however, their...
Detection of molecules important for healthcare could soon be 1000 times faster
Scientists should soon be able to capture biological molecules a thousand times faster, allowing better detection of important health issues. DNA mutations, which can lead to cancers and other problems, can be difficult to detect in biological samples as they are...
Nano-antennas assist in improving spatial resolution of terahertz microscopy
A team lead by a LCN researcher has demonstrated a detector for terahertz waves with integrated optical nano-antennas. The detector enables enhanced spatial resolution in terahertz microscopy. Similar to more commonly used infra-red waves and X-rays, terahertz waves...
