Since the beginning of the Nanoimprint Lithography topic, Lund has been an important node for growing know-how. This year, the 23rd International Conference on Nanoimprint and Nanoprint Technologies, and the European NIL Industrial Day 2024 merged into the world’s leading symposium on nanoimprint and nanoprint. We talked to one of the Conference Chairs, Lars Montelius, on the last day of the confe

A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was “the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence”. Semiconductors are a strategically important component of today’s and tomorrow’s society. The technology is needed

A few sharp minds working together for almost an entire summer. The task: to tackle the problem that a couple of days of work generates so much data, that it would take months to analyse. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is a technique that allows us to obtain precise and detailed structural information of materials and their properties, and to fundamentally understand physical processes at the atomi

Answers relating to diseases and accurately targeted drugs. Enhanced batteries and sensors. Smarter solar cells, LED lighting and semiconductors – and a reduced need for natural resources. Lund University’s new nano lab has been made possible due to a long-term collaboration with external stakeholders in which the aim is to meet sustainability challenges and find answers to many of the future’s cu

By injecting a solution of nanoparticles around the heart, a temporary heart stimulator self-assembles, which can correct heart arrhythmia in emergencies with the help of an external power source. After treatment, the electrode spontaneously disappears from the body. The study was conducted on animals. Arrhythmia occurs when there are disturbances in the heart’s electrical signals, causing it to b

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied how nanoplastic affects aquatic organisms in lakes and rivers. The results are surprising and the researchers are the first to show that some species are being wiped out, while others – such as cyanobacteria that contribute to algal blooms – are completely unaffected. Every year, the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans increases by between

A year has passed since Anne L’Huillier became Lund University’s first Nobel laureate. Since then, she has tried to use the attention to revive interest in research. But she has also had to come to terms with the oddity of becoming a science rock star asked for selfies all over town. What do you remember most about that very special day, the 3rd of October 2023?Well, what I remember most is, of co

Kulturnatten (”Culture Night”) is a very popular annual event in Lund that attracts thousands of people to enjoy concerts, science-shows, arts and good food. This time NanoLund again took part in joint efforts with the Physics Department and MAX IV Laboratory to show and explain what our science is all about. One of the key events this year was a popular physics lecture by our very own Nobel Prize

Lunds universitet tar ett aktivt steg för att möta samhällets växande behov av säkerhets- och krishantering. Ett nytt centrum etableras vid Campus Helsingborg med målet att på bred front stärka utbildning, forskning och samverkan inom totalförsvar och beredskap. Säkerhetshot och risker i dagens samhälle blir allt svårare att förutse och kan förändras snabbt, vilket kräver expertkunskap och stärkt

Kan konst, eftertanke och medlidande vara svaret på vår tids stora existentiella utmaningar? Det tror forskarna bakom samverkansinitiativet ERiCi. Kring ett konferensbord inne i byggnaden LUX sitter tre professorer som på pappret kanske inte har så mycket gemensamt. Christine Wamsler är verksam inom hållbarhetsvetenskap, Martin Garwicz inom neurofysiologi och medicinsk humaniora och Max Liljefors

Billigast är Nauru med en prislapp på 130 000 dollar – dyrast är Jordanien. Marknaden för "guldpass" växer, och för den som har råd lockar erbjudanden om smidiga genvägar, nya friheter och en tryggare framtid för nästa generation. Det visar ny forskning. –Till skillnad från vad många tror är detta ingen ljusskygg verksamhet som stater och konsultfirmor gömmer undan. Tvärtom har medborgarskapet bli

Vilka är människorna som utgör världens ekonomiska eliter – och vad skiljer dem åt mellan länder? I en ny databas har forskare från hela världen samlat individuppgifter om ekonomisk makt i länder som tillsammans står för över hälften av världens BNP. Håkan Johansson, professor vid Lunds universitet och en av forskarna bakom arbetet, ser betydande skillnader – och pekar på att Sverige utmärker sig

Ätstörningar är svåra att behandla och återfall är vanligt. Inom psykologin fokuserar forskningen ofta på biologiska förklaringar eller hur nöjd man är med sitt utseende. En ny avhandling pekar på så kallad humanistisk psykologi där man ser hela människan, inte bara sjukdom och dysfunktion. När författaren Sara Meidell kom ut med sin självbiografiska bok ”Ut ur min kropp” år 2022 kritiserades hon
