With nanowires working as small solar radiation-collecting antennas, a new type of solar cell was sent into space a few days ago. By using three different materials they are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are powered

Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort

The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. Linking electronics to biologic

A team of NanoLund researchers sought ways to make students understand what is actually happening inside the “magic black box” of a commercial spectrophotometer.  “This set promotes discovery in a natural and self-motivating way. By changing samples in the spectrometer, we can explore a variety of materials and their properties,” says NanoLundian Jens Uhlig, one of the researchers behind the work.

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
