New SPIN-Lab at Imperial
LCN Professor Sandrine Heutz has been awarded £2 million from the EPSRC to fund a new state-of-the-art hub of magnetic characterisation SPIN lab in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London. The facility includes equipment for the study of strongly...
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....
Moving graphite particles in liquid using magnetism
A way of transporting tiny particles of graphite in liquid using magnetic fields has been developed by UCL scientists. It opens up possibilities for new ways of precisely transporting specific components in fluids, including in biocompatible fluids such as in the...
