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....
King’s College London joins powerhouse of nanotechnology research
King’s College London is joining with the London Centre for Nanotechnology to use the power of nanotechnology to confront global healthcare, energy and environmental challenges. King’s has joined two of the capital’s leading universities, UCL and Imperial...
Mimicking viruses from inside out using DNA origami
The cover of the current issue of ACS Synthetic Biology highlights the work of a research team from UCL, the LCN and NPL to engineer a programmable inside-out “virus”. This everted “virus” is designed to deliver functional proteins into live cells. The synthetic virus...
