Den årliga Hållbarhetsveckan i Lund närmar sig, med ett rikt program även i år. Från Konstnärliga fakulteten hittar vi musik, performance och konstnärlig forskning i interaktiva evenemang som vill mer än att informera - de vill beröra.Hållbarhet är ett mångfacetterat område som sträcker sig långt bortom naturvetenskapen. Begreppet omfattar även konstnärliga, existentiella och sociala perspektiv. F

Under en vecka i april har Musikhögskolan i Malmö fungerat som samlingsplats för lärare och studenter från 16 olika musikhögskolor i Norden och Baltikum. Det är en händelse som bara sker i Malmö vart femtonde år. I år användes tillfället till att lyfta fram folkmusik från minoritetsgrupper. Nordtrad är ett Nordplusfinansierat nätverk för musikhögskolor med folk- och världsmusikutbildningar. Behove

Think of the proteins in your brain as delicate pieces of origami. A new study from the Medical Microspectroscopy group at Lund University reveals that polystyrene nanoplastics, commonly found in everyday items like food packaging, act like “clumsy hands” that force these proteins to fold incorrectly. Lead author Iran Augusto Neves da Silva used advanced label-free optical photothermal infrared (O

The Swedish Research Council has recently recommended that the government establish new strategic research areas. In two of them, researchers within NanoLund play key roles: Quantum technologies and Advanced materials. These are two fields that are crucial for the future energy transition, digitalisation, and technological development. Strategic Research Area Advanced MaterialsWithin the research

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification

In an article published in Nature Communications, researchers Fan Wu, Tu C. Nguyen-Phan, Richard Cogdell, and Tönu Pullerits suggest that optical microcavities can be a strategic tool for modifying excitation energy transfer between molecular complexes. “We show that optical microcavities can enhance energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, even in the weak coupling regim

Metal joining remains an essential yet challenging process in manufacturing, particularly for components with small dimensions, multiplex, delicate geometries, or dissimilar metals, where conventional joining methods can be insufficient. In a recent study, researchers introduce Gas Actuated Bonding (GAB), a novel method that establishes a new framework for controllable, flexible metal joining. Joi

Semiconductors are a cornerstone of all electronics around which the modern world revolves. But they need to become much more energy efficient. Researchers at two Swedish universities are now investigating whether semiconductor materials with ultra-wide band gaps could be the solution. The Knut and Alice Foundation recently published a piece portraying Vanya Darakchieva. There are materials that a

Quantum. The word is appearing more and more frequently in discussions about future technologies, security, medicine and computing. At the same time, the field is often perceived as both abstract and difficult to understand. But what exactly is quantum physics, and why is there so much interest in it right now? “Quantum physics was developed to describe the very smallest building blocks of the uni

PhD student William Samuelson et al have developed a theoretical framework showing how Majorana bound states can remain robust even in strongly interacting quantum systems. In a recent article published in PRX Quantum, the authors connect the locality of Majorana states to their protection against environmental disturbances, an important step toward understanding how topological approaches could s

In a recent article, Harald Havir et al. present a method for rapid and efficient detection of electrical charge in quantum systems using a nonlinear resonator that amplifies the signal without matching the sensor’s dissipation conditions. Thereby, they overcome previous limitations and make it applicable to various oscillating systems. Fast and reliable detection is essential for probing quantum

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Physics World reports that Researchers at NanoLund have grown single continuous GaAs nanowires consisting of segments of pure wurtzite and zincblende phases. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, they found that the spatial confinement along the radius of a nanowire resulted in bending of the band structure of the mat
