LCN News
Princess Anne opens new joint facility between the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and the LCN. The Molecular Beam Epitaxy Facility will be used to create new and improved electronic and optical devices. [more]
How can one increase the maximum current which can flow in a superconductor without any resistance? Counter-intuitively the answer in some circumstances is to increase the dissipation (i.e. the energy losses) in the superconductor. [more]
How long is a piece of string? A recent episode of the BBC's Horizon program features several LCN members who have worked with Marshall Stoneham on olfaction. [more]

About the LCN
Located in the London neighbourhoods of Bloomsbury and South Kensington, the LCN is a new UK-based multi-disciplinary research centre, purpose-built to enable work at the forefront of science and technology. The LCN brings together two of the world's leading institutions, namely University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London, with strong capabilities in the underlying disciplines - engineering, physical sciences and biomedicine - which are bridged by nanotechnology. Our aim is to provide the nanoscience and nanotechnology needed to solve major problems in information processing, health care, and energy and environment.

The LCN is led by Professors Gabriel Aeppli (UCL) and Neil Alford (Imperial). For more information on the academic staff of the LCN, please check the LCN Directory.
