Published 18 January 2019 Image: Nils Rosemann. NanoLund researchers in collaboration with researchers from Uppsala University and University of Copenhagen have designed an iron complex which has shown to be luminescent and to have charge-transfer capabilities. This opens up for the possibility of replacing the expensive and rare metals such as ruthenium, osmium and iridium with iron in metal comp

Published 13 August 2018 A recent article in Nature Nanotechnology by NanoLund researchers show that a quantum dot-based heat engine can convert heat into work with an efficiency similar to that of similar machines with moving parts. As quantum dot-based engine has no moving parts it may be useful in applications such as nanotechnology and remote sensing. To Chemistry World, Heiner Linke explains:
