King’s opens new suite of photonics and nanofabrication laboratories
A new suite of photonics and nanofabrication laboratories has been officially opened on the King’s College London Strand Campus. The photonics laboratories house cutting-edge levitated optomechanics experiments and attosecond lasers as well as extending King’s...
Plasmonic nanoparticles as photocatalysts: How much energy can they supply?
Catalysts play a key role in many industrial processes, as more than 85% of the energy consumed daily by our essential-routine devices is generated by processes that involve them. Recently, it has been found that under visible light illumination, metallic...
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....
