Thanks to the recent development of diagnostic tools based on blood biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s, it is possible to predict whether an individual will develop the disease. Therefore, MultiPark researchers gather across groups to investigate hidden opportunities and develop implementable tools also for other brain conditions with similar approaches. “Development and implementation of fluid biom

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states - which occur in convention
