Nanotechnology-based biosensor for the detection of harmful bacteria in potable water

A newly funded NATO project aims at investigating a novel nanotechnology-based biosensor specifically utilized for the detection of harmful bacteria intentionally or unintentionally dispersed in potable water.

Vortex top-hats emerge in superfluids

A new study provides new insight into the behaviour of rotating superfluids, including the emergence of a 'top hat' shaped super-vortex phenomenon. Fundamental understanding of the behaviour of vortices in superfluids is vital to the search for ultra-energy efficient electronics based on superfluid transistors.
