Turning on and off a magnet by electric field for future nano-electronic devices
The last several decades have seen the development of electronic devices that have relied heavily on the downsizing of the transistor. This has helped to facilitate the technology for the small, powerful computers that are the basis of our modern information society....
Rare immune cells drive gut repair, but can tip toward cancer or fibrosis in inflammatory bowel disease
LCN researchers at King’s College London have discovered an unexpected tissue reparative role for a rare immune cell type in the gut that could tip toward fibrosis or cancer if dysregulated. The breakthrough will have important implications for treating patients who...
