• Enabling single-handed interaction in mobile and wearable computing 

  Yeo, Hui Shyong (ACM, 2018-10-11) - Conference item

  Mobile and wearable computing are increasingly pervasive as people carry and use personal devices in everyday life. Screen sizes of such devices are becoming larger and smaller to accommodate both intimate and practical ...

• Breakdown of a topological transition in two-dimensional spin-ice due to geometry effects 

  Ferreyra, Maria Victoria; Grigera, Santiago Andres (2018-12) - Journal article

  We investigate the topological transition that takes place in spin-ice systems when a polarising field is applied along a principal axis. In particular, we analyse a two dimensional spin-ice model; we find that the topological ...

• North Uist - the 'Scottish Galapagos' : a hotspot of stickleback biodiversity 

  Smith, Carl Hendrik (2018-11-01) - Journal article

• Single-nanotube tracking reveals the nanoscale organization of the extracellular space in the live brain 

  Godin, Antoine G; Varela, Juan A; Gao, Zhenghong; Danné, Noémie; Dupuis, Julien P; Lounis, Brahim; Groc, Laurent; Cognet, Laurent (2017-03) - Journal article

  The brain is a dynamic structure with the extracellular space (ECS) taking up almost a quarter of its volume. Signalling molecules, neurotransmitters and nutrients transit via the ECS, which constitutes a key microenvironment ...

• Breaking the symmetry of momentum conservation using evanescent acoustic fields 

  Mazilu, Michael; Demčenko, Andriejus; Wilson, Rab; Reboud, Julien; Cooper, Jonathan (2018-12-14) - Journal article

  Although the conservation of momentum is a fundamental law in physics, its constraints are not fulfilled for wave propagation at material boundaries, where incident waves give rise to evanescent field distributions. Whilst ...
