Science Highlights

Investigating the origins of unconventional superconductivity
Muons are ideal probes for studying unconventional superconducting materials, demonstrated by two recent publications studying the origins of time reversal symmetry breaking.
Using diffraction to understand the differences between healthy and diseased skin
In an uncommon experiment for the Larmor instrument, researchers have used neutron diffraction to study membranes like those in our skin.
Showing the value of using a full toolbox of techniques for evaluating quantum materials
Only by using the combination of polarised neutron reflectometry, X-ray spectroscopy and magnetotransport have researchers been able to characterise individual layers of a potential candidate for building future quantum computers.
New databases give ISIS users rapid access to large amounts of data on structure and properties
By using artificial intelligence to mine the scientific literature, ISIS and Cambridge researchers have created extensive databases for use by the semiconductor and optical materials research communities.
