Transient melting of a nanocrystal: seeing is believing
Jesse Clark, working as a postdoc in the LCN group of Ian Robinson, has discovered a spectacular transient melting phenomenon in nanocrystals. Coherent X-ray diffraction experiments, carried out at the LCLS X-ray free electron laser facility at Stanford, have allowed...
Oriented growth is an emergent property of cellularised tissues
Scientists at the LCN have shown that the ability of tissues to orient their growth in response to externally applied forces is a simple consequence of the mechanics of cellularised materials and the ability of individual cells to divide along their long axis. The...
