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

Svensk välfärd är i världsklass och ingenstans månar man som här om att pappor ska kunna vara hemma med sina barn när de är små. Samtidigt utmanas den gamla Sverigebilden: inkomstskillnaderna ökar snabbt, gränserna har stängts och i riksdagen sitter ett invandringsfientligt parti som växer. Hur ser prognosen för framtiden ut? Går vi mot samförstånd eller splittring? Blir Sverige bättre? Lunds univ

Det verkar nästan inte finnas något slut på stora globala utmaningar som vi måste hantera, såsom ett varmare klimat, ökande klyftor mellan rika och fattiga, mer utsläpp med sjukdomar som följd, brist på rent vatten, kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter, ojämlikhet mellan män och kvinnor och mycket mer. Å andra sidan ser vi glimtar i mörkret. Global tillväxt där flera länder rör sig från fattiga ti

Hur är det egentligen möjligt att könsbaserade löneskillnader lever kvar än idag, trots att de är ett brott mot de mänskliga rättigheterna? Lena Svenaeus, tidigare JämO, menar att lagstiftningen i själva verket fungerat som en fasad som ger sken av att respektera likalöneprincipen medan den i verkligheten har upprätthållit och förstärkt den gamla ordningen. I början av mars lägger hon fram en avha
