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

Reconfigurable transistors are key elements in the development of future semiconductors. As conventional transistors approach the limit of how small they can become, more functions in the same number of units will become increasingly important in developing small and energy-efficient circuits for better memories and more powerful computers. In two articles published in Science Advances and Nature

The time has come to celebrate four and a half months of meetings between NanoLund PhD students and their mentors. In the closing workshop, the mentees reflected on the program and what they have learnt. Under the guidance of Tina Persson from Passage2pro, they looked back at the career development plan they did at the start of the program to think about how and what they would like to change or p

When history meets present-day science fascinating things reveal themselves. In such a case, a sample of chain mail from the 15th-century Danish flagship, Gribshunden, was recently analyzed at MAX IV’s NanoMAX beamline. Researchers from Lund University want to know more about the structural and chemical makeup of the metal to give us a window into Sweden’s past, and NanoLundians Jesper Wallentin a

Clay is described as an ancient material with a great future. “The potential areas of application are huge,” says an enthusiastic Marie Skepö, professor of theoretical chemistry whom we recently welcomed as an affiliated faculty member of NanoLund. Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building, and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various p

A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, finding solutions for a sustainable world. Intrig

The second workshop arranged by VBE researchers covered different aspects of VBE in law. Legal scholars as well as practitioners of law talked on topics such as the individual judge's approach to VBE, VBE as a critical legal threshold, the legal requirements concerning untested methods in medicine, and more. The talks are collected in this short publication.

22 mars är det återigen dags för ett halvdagsseminarium i Lund om VBE inom ett specifikt verksamhetsområde. Denna gång är det miljövård som står i fokus. Vari består den evidens som policybeslut om miljön vilar på, och som ligger till grund för praktisk miljövård i våra regioner och kommuner? Hur skaffar man den nödvändiga evidensen? Hur bedömer en rättsinstans om tillräcklig evidens finns då osäk

Workshop i Lund 25 september 2017 Vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet är ett begrepp som förekommer i många sammanhang, bland annat i olika lagtexter och regleringar. I hälso- och sjukvården har begreppet spelat roll sedan slutet av 1800-talet och vi hittar det numera både i patientlagen och patientsäkerhetslagen. Men idag har samma termer smugit sig in i andra lagar och regleringar, exempelvis skol
