Quantum Leaps & Nano Wonders welcomes everyone to discover the fascinating worlds of nano and quantum technologies, and to meet the researchers making them happen. Through talks, demonstrations, exhibits, and hands-on activities, you will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge science and learn how nanoscale discoveries are shaping future technologies. Researchers will reflect on two decades of scientific achievement, showcase their latest work, and share their vision for the opportunities and challenges ahead. Together, we’ll celebrate the people, ideas and discoveries that have shaped the LCN’s first 20 years and look forward to the next generation of breakthroughs.
This event is suitable for all.
Whether you are part of the LCN or just curious about how nanoscience and quantum technologies are changing London and the world, we invite you to join us for this special anniversary celebration.
The event is part of the LCN’s 20 Anniversary event series. Over the past twenty years, researchers at the LCN have explored the world at the nanoscale, advancing our understanding of materials, devices and biological systems while helping to address challenges in healthcare, energy, communications, sustainability, and quantum technologies. What began as an ambitious partnership has become one of the world’s leading centres for interdisciplinary nanoscience and quantum research.

More Details
The London Centre for Nanotechnology is a UK-based multidisciplinary enterprise operating at the forefront of science and technology. Its purpose is to solve global problems in information processing, healthcare, energy and the environment through the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The LCN began as a joint venture between University College London and Imperial College London, based at the Bloomsbury and South Kensington sites; from 2018 King’s College London joined the collaboration.
The Centre has a unique operating model that accesses and focuses the combined skills of all three universities across several key departments; Chemistry, Physics, Materials, Medicine, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biochemical and Biomedical Engineering and Earth Sciences.
