DEP Trapping Using Metallised Nanopipettes

This invention enables efficient single molecule nanopore sensing at femtomolar concentrations using dielectrophoretic trapping by combining nanopore sensing and dielectrophoresis (DEP).

Self-disinfecting appliances

A novel device that can be fitted to home-care appliances to generate hydrogen peroxide or bleach, effectively producing a ‘self-cleaning’ appliance.

Nanotweezers for single-cell biopsy

Inexpensive, easy to fabricate and use, dielectrophoretic nanotweezers for non-destructive subcellular concentration (trapping) and extraction of biomolecules.

LhARA: A radiobiological cancer therapy

LhARA uses laser-driven proton beams for precise, high-dose cancer therapy, enabling compact, flexible treatment systems and radiobiological research.

Highly efficient Raman-shifting optical architecture

Novel laser architecture shifts near-infrared light efficiently, enabling high-power, narrow-bandwidth output for spectroscopy, imaging, and communications.

Method for lignin-based carbon fibre production

Uses lignin and carbon nanotubes in low-cost solvent to produce sustainable, high-yield carbon fibre precursors for composites

Novel inhibitors of NorA efflux pump for combating antimicrobial resistance

These novel compounds could be used in the treatment of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections and demonstrate that inhibitors of NorA efflux can prevent the emergence of further resistant strains.

Seismic Metamaterials

Metamaterial columns shield buildings from low-frequency ground vibrations, offering seismic protection without altering structural design, ideal for critical infrastructure. [imperial.tech]

Aptamer-based multiplex screening platform

A fully flexible, scalable and low-cost detection platform to sense multiple protein targets simultaneously by grafting specific sequences along the backbone of a double-stranded DNA carrier.
