Potassium channels are critical structures in biology; they selectively allow potassium ions to pass through the membrane surrounding cells. The precise gating of that channel is essential to its ...

Figure 1: Scanning SQUID measurements of current in LAO/STO heterostructures. We first present images of sample H1, which is patterned so current flows in a bar with a width that is smaller than that ...

In this special guest feature, Santina Russo from CSCS writes that scientists are using the “Piz Daint” supercomputer at CSCS to investigate a perovskite material for use in solar cells. In recent ...
