Temperature increase triggers viral infection

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Vacuum cleaner-effect in fungi can hold nanoplastics at bay

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to “clean up” their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem. Whether carelessly discarded

On the effect of symmetry on the DNA waves

First, they discovered how DNA can move in wavelike patterns on the millimeter scale in microfluidics devices – now they also have found a way of controlling the behaviour. Four researchers connected to NanoLund have presented results that may be useful in several ways: to enhance or suppress the mixing of microfluidics, relevant for medicine and food industry as well as water treatment. In the jo

Snails illustrate how new materials can be built at the nano level

Jonas Johansson is a professor of physics and develops new knowledge for the production of materials at the nanoscale. Anastasia Tsioki is a first-year student on LTH's MSc in Engineering Nanoscience programme. When Jonas was about to publish a scientific article, he turned to Anastasia to illustrate a proposed cover image. The magazine immediately accepted her illustration as the front page image

Sparks can provide more environmentally friendly nano-catalysts

Roughly 80 percent of all chemical products are manufactured using catalysts. The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) has made a movie with one of their Future Research Leaders, Maria Messing. She and her research group at Lund University use spark discharge generation to obtain more efficient and environmentally friendly processes in manufacturing nano-sized catalysts.

“No longer just a buzzword in science fiction”

For twenty years now, LTH has educated students in the programme Master of Science in Engineering Nanoscience. It’s an education that blurs the boundaries between traditional fields of knowledge such as biology, physics, chemistry, materials science, and electronics. “It felt very solemn and nice to celebrate 20 years. The students I talked to thought it was inspiring to hear alumni talk about the

He knows how to score maximum points on your EU application

How do you succeed with your Marie Curie application? Konstantin Nestmann, a postdoc at NanoLund, scored 100 out of 100 points. The magazine Curie, published by the Swedish Research Council, talked with him about this. In mid-February, thousands of European early-stage researchers received their applications for EU Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship funding.Konstantin Nestmann, currently research

Strengthening Swedish semiconductor capability

Semiconductors – the “brains” behind electronic products and systems. Whether mobile phones, automotive, energy, home appliances, or artificial intelligence, these components (“chips”) play a key role. At the same time, Asian countries account for more than half of the world’s semiconductor chip production. Swedish semiconductor capability is now to be strengthened by Lund University together with

New way of designing circuits could lead to large-scale quantum computers

By utilising quantum mechanics, a quantum computer can solve computational problems that today's supercomputers cannot. But there are problems. As the circuits in quantum computers get bigger, they become more difficult to control. Researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles. This could enable larger and more complex circuits – crucial to un

Progress in the investigation of ultrafast electron dynamics using short light pulses

When electrons move within a molecule or semiconductor, this occurs on unimaginably short time scales. A Swedish-German has now made significant progress toward a better understanding of these ultrafast processes: The researchers were able to track the dynamics of electrons released from the surface of zinc oxide crystals using laser pulses with spatial resolution in the nanometre range and at pre
