Large Room-Temperature Magnetoresistance in van der Waals Ferromagnet/Semiconductor Junctions (2022)
Journal Article

A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is the core component in memory technologies, such as the magnetic random-access memory, magnetic sensors and programmable logic devices. In particular, MTJs based on two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructur... Read More about Large Room-Temperature Magnetoresistance in van der Waals Ferromagnet/Semiconductor Junctions.

Whole-genome sequencing and gene sharing network analysis powered by machine learning identifies antibiotic resistance sharing between animals, humans and environment in livestock farming (2022)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic environments such as those created by intensive farming of livestock, have been proposed to provide ideal selection pressure for the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs...

Mild traumatic brain injury impairs the coordination of intrinsic and motor-related neural dynamics (2021)
Journal Article

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) poses a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Whilst most patients recover quickly, a significant number suffer from sequelae that are not accompanied by measurable structural damage. Understanding the neural u...

Ultrastable embedded surface plasmon confocal interferometry (2014)
Journal Article

As disease diagnosis becomes more sophisticated, there is a requirement to measure small numbers of molecules attached to, for instance, an antibody. This requires a sensor capable not only of high sensitivity but also the ability to make measurement... Read More about Ultrastable embedded surface plasmon confocal interferometry.
