En av de främsta fördelarna med att vara universitetslärare? Att handleda och se studenter växa i sin roll. Det tycker i alla fall redaktörerna till en nyutkommen bok. Detektiver med förstoringsglas och att fånga och tillaga en fisk. Det är några av metaforerna som universitetslektorerna Anna Jonsson och Olof Hallonsten använder sig av för att förklara relationen mellan handledare och student, res

Faster, more efficient, thinner, more energy-saving! These are some of the watchwords used in the development of better mobiles, solar cells and LED lighting. The common denominator for improving transistors in electronics or lighting diodes are ultra-small semi-conductors known as nanowires. Using a new “supermicroscope”, Reine Wallenberg, professor of solid state physics, is studying how nanowir

We all know that when it burns, it smokes. But what do we really know about the contents of that smoke and how it is affected by different fire processes? Not only that, but how do these smoke particles affect the emergency personnel who are first on the scene?
