Lauren McKenzie-Sell

Lauren McKenzie-Sell is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. Lauren is studying nanotechnology at the University of Cambridge, UK, where she moved after growing up in Sydney, Australia. She works on nanostructures of magnetic and superconducting materials, in which the materials physics combines to form the field superconducting spintronics. She hopes this field can improve the energy efficiency of large-scale computing such as server farms. As a student contributor, she writes about nanotechnology, condensed-matter physics and quantum computing.

On-chip nanowire laser delivers on data

Semiconductor nanowire lasers are promising ultracompact light sources for miniaturized optical processing and sensing, but their efficiency is limited by the difficulty of confining light in a structure much smaller than its wavelength. By using a silicon photonic crystal to trap light in a semiconductor nanowire, researchers at NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Japan have now turned […]
