With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva

Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as the forest gets older the carbon sequestration capacity decreases. When trees are f

In a pioneering nano experiment, a research team in Lund has successfully constructed a new and very efficient microwave photon detector. The discovery could accelerate the development of future quantum computers. Microwaves are a collective term for electromagnetic radiation in the higher radio frequency bands; they can be used for everything from warming up fish dishes to searching for extraterr

Researchers from strategic research areas NanoLund and StemTherapy have developed a promising new method for delivering biomolecules into human blood stem cells using nanotechnology. With little to no detrimental effects on target cells, this novel approach has great potential for research and clinical applications. The discovery and development of therapeutic biomolecules – such as the gene editi

Ville Maisi, senior lecturer at the Department of Physics at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and researcher at NanoLund, has been awarded a European Research Council Consolidator Grant worth SEK 28 million for the QPHOTON project. The research will focus on building microwave detectors over a five-year period. Most people associate microwaves with the small ovens found in many kitch

Nanoparticles can be used to detect certain lung diseases. The AiDA measurement method – based on the inhalation of nanoparticles – is easy to use and can complement other lung examinations. The method has now been tested on over 800 people, and the results look promising, according to a new thesis in aerosol technology. Measuring the structure of the lung is difficult; even lung scans cannot reli

Last week the new batch of LUMES students had their first field day for the course Earth Systems Science in Lund’s botanical garden. We took the opportunity to talk to three of them about the course and their impressions of the LUMES programme, so far. Earth Systems Science is one of the first courses of the LUMES programme. The course focuses on the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of t

Stem cell transplantation is a cornerstone in the treatment of blood malignancies. In order to succeed, stem cells need to be harvested from a donor. This requires that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are mobilized from the donor’s bone marrow into the blood. In a new study, the Nilsson lab discovered DNA sequence variants that regulate HSPC levels in human blood, exposing potential
