Science Highlights

Magnetic sandwiches transferring information through their filling
Layered magnetic materials have been studied at ISIS to determine the influence of layer thickness on an effect known as exchange bias. This effect was discovered in the mid 1950s and remains essential for our modern data storage and microelectronics.
Low frequency vibrations expose the interactions of anti-cancer drugs confined in the pores of a metal organic framework
Researchers have been able to investigate the interactions between a drug molecule and the framework that can be used to trap it.
