Atomically Controlled Gas Sensing
An international team of scientists, including those from the LCN at UCL, have solved the stucture of a gas sensing surface of tin dioxide, opening the way to advanced device design. The basis for the gas sensing as well other applications of tin oxide is the...
Prestigious ERC award for LCN academic
John Morton, Professor in Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics based at the LCN has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant for his ‘LOQO-MOTIONS project’, which proposes to investigate ‘local quantum operations achieved through the motion of...
Topological order and thermal equilibrium in polariton condensates
In a two-dimensional fluid, disorder-causing mechanisms are exceptionally strong and so an absolute order cannot be achieved. Nevertheless, there is an enormous difference between systems of lesser and of greater order (for example between an ordinary fluid such as...
